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 feel like people get off on seeing people get laid off.

Anecdata doesn't reflect real trends. We are in an awkward moment in the economy that isn't reacting like any we've had before. The inflation is worldwide, I'm not sure what raising interest rates is doing for all the other causal reactions of inflation.
I feel like I keep hearing about layoffs and job market sucking, but scrolling through LinkedIn I’m seeing a whole lot of humble posts about being “proud to announce my next job!”
Do we think it’s the economy or simply the Q2/Q3 lull? My company seems to be surviving the rough waters, but always has a hiring freeze around now
Same here… I don’t know anyone that’s been laid off only people getting promotions or switching to their “dream job”. Except Huge I’m not aware of any agency layoffs at all
More layoffs? At what agencies?
Pro
Huge, RGA, TikTok, to name a few

Those happened a few weeks ago. Nothing recent except Madwell.

Huge, TikTok, R/GA and Mccann are all I’ve heard of.
And to be honest all of those places except tiktok have been struggling for years
I feel them coming. Been having anxiety over it for some time now.
