There could potentially be more layoffs due to poor performance.

During years such as Covid, it was great that the firm took a stance and kept everyone employed. In typical years, I’d prefer to fire the low performers and re-allocate that funding to the high performers

Of course. It’s all a money in vs. money out equation. Rather than fire people due to Covid the firm removed the bonus pot.

Investors don’t care where the money comes from as long as it’s there.

Same as Accenture.

That’s my point

Horrible anxiety about considering a new job....
I was one of the big firm stealth layoffs in covid and joined a boutique firm in Sept. They came sort of close to matching my salary but I moved to SoCal and have an opportunity to jump back in to big law and get $100k raise. The people at the small firm are so nice, but hours are nuts and if I’m going to work this much, I might as well get paid more, right? Is it too soon? How do you tell them when the managing partner took you under his wing?

So I've had 2 hiring managers and several recruiters from Amazon reach out to me about applying for some open positions with the company (android). I completed the coding assessment and now they want me to go through a round of 5 hour interviews next week. Is there a good chance I'll be hired if engineering managers are reaching out to me? I'm really not sure how badly I want to work for them and I don't want to be laid off months after being hired on. Anyone know what Amazon hiring is like?
