Although Amazon has instituted a hiring freeze and layoffs are probably on their way, I went through the loop for a security engineer position at AWS. Before I attended the final interviews, Amazon placed the hiring freeze and called me to ask if I wanted to go ahead or cancel my application. I decided do go ahead Right now I'm waiting for their response and the position I applied to changed from "under consideration" to "no longer under consideration". Thoughts?

I moved in house for better work life benefits and haven't looked back.
I think it all depends on where you are in life and what you want to do. Anyone who blankety calls any job move a "kiss of death" has no clue what they are talking about.
Depends what you want from it. If you’re trying to leverage it into a true in-house legal position or a future return to a firm, it’s almost certainly a bad move. If you want to go in more of a business direction and are comfortable potentially never practicing law again, it could be a good way to pivot to a more business-oriented role/career.
I wouldn't. Not necessarily the kiss of death, but I would much rather go from in-house to a firm, not the other way around. You may find yourself stuck somewhere much less exciting, with a fair less amount of power.
I would never transition to an in-house role. Working at a firm provides far more flexibility than committing to a single company. I prefer to avoid the bureaucracy. Not sure why you'd consider leaving your firm but I recommend against it.

KOD bro. 💋☠️
I have, it was an excellent career move for me to a place that I see myself long-term and where both me and my work are valued and appreciated. I’ve since been promoted from my JD preferred role (which paid more than my old firm position plus better benefits) after less than two years to my current JD required position in the same office that came with an bigger raise than I ever had with a private firm.
