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?

Is that a deal you want? Zero comp, maybe you get benefits as long as you make your contribution? That ‘certain period’ will be a couple of years and they will make up any staffing shortage by just hiring more cheap people off college campuses.
P1: it was a question. I didn’t say “I wish I get furloughed as opposed to getting laid off”. Just trying to understand the options available to consulting firms.
Honestly, I’ll keep my healthcare benefit for the whole family by getting furloughed as opposed to getting laid off with a severance. Cobra coverage for family of 5 cost thousands of dollars per month. Not sure when I would be able to get hired again.
It’s usually about benefits. If your spouse works getting laid off is a life event so you could switch to their plan.
