Not about Amazon but maybe someone has the answer I’m looking for :) At Meta if you interview for a contract role and get rejected does the 6 month cool off period still apply to you when apply to new jobs? Similarly, if you are employed by a staffing agency at Meta are you barred from interviewing for other roles there? Facebook (Meta)

Yeah i think it'd be smart to apply to remote and hybrid roles for sure. Transitioning back to the office after being remote for so long can be overwhelming, but you'll adjust quickly. One tip is to start by mentally preparing for a more structured schedule and in-person collaboration. You could also visit the office beforehand to get a feel for the environment. You'll do great!

Thats good advice! I will admit my schedule has definitely been lax since my layoff so I could stand to add a little structure to ease the transition.
It will definitely take some adjusting. My biggest challenge when I returned to the office was purchasing an entire wardrobe that was office friendly. Spent too much money, so set aside something for the first few months if you don't have the right dress code. Remember to take breaks when it's time to. It's important to give your brain a reboot. And don't pretend to make small talk with people you don't even connect with, as long you interact with your colleagues when need be. I still miss the level of freedom I got from remote work. I hope you get at least a hybrid role, the best of both worlds.

All of your points are fantastic advice, but I hadn't even considered the wardrobe aspect! That's such a good point
Assuming you've worked in an office before, it's not that hard to get back into it. When I had to go back last year I didn't like it, but after a few days it felt normal again. In some ways I enjoyed have the office camaraderie again. Had I known I'd be laid off this year I probably would have felt different about it, but at the time being back in the office was not a huge problem.

That's good to know someone has successfully been through it before! I was in-office my entire working career up until my last role but going back somehow still seems so daunting
