This would be a dumb question as nobody knows the future so asking for a perspective rather than an answer.
Considering to join AWS on the security side and wonder if there will be layoffs considering the economic downturn. I understand that my current job maynot be safe as well if things are worse but logically thinking that AWS’s cloud business will always be around and it has been growing well compared to other business so AWS would be a lil safer than other Amazon sides.

Thoughts?

You can consider all your want, but you’re not getting in for a few months. Amazon announced hiring freeze. So answer is pretty easy

Longer term , AWS or cloud is still be huge untapped market. Cloud is dominated by AWS followed by MS and GCP. So “it will be around “

Ah! That changes things

You should be fine in AWS

But as you said, there is always going to be chances of layoffs anywhere. But AWS (or Amazon overall) as a business is solid

If they are hiring you should be fine.

Anyone have any idea when the hiring freeze might end within AWS ProServ? I’m currently at Amazon and have a TS clearance, PMP & CSM.

Instead of leaving, I’d love to go back to my “consulting roots” and join the ProServ team. I’m taking my AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner exam next weekend. Hoping this freeze is lifted soon.
