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?

Once you have an offer. Not before.
The future manager kept talking about their plans for the following year and how critical it was. I really liked the potential manager a lot from our discussions. I decided that I couldn’t not tell them that I’d be gone for part of that time. I said I thought i was a great long term hire but a shitty short term one. So if the coming year vision was critical - they should go with one of the other candidates. I said I really wanted to work at Google and I would wait for another role to interview for instead. They appreciated the honesty (it felt Googley - which is one of the dimensions assessed), and I guess I made a good case about the long term. It was early in the process so I still had to win the role at that point, but I could do it without feeling sick to my stomach about it.
Do you know what their mat leave policy is? Sometimes it’s not great if you’ve been there under a year (if anything). I’m in agreement that it’s usually best to wait - but I’d want to know if you don’t already. At my current job i told them during the interview process. It actually ended up working in my favor, but it was not an agency
@Google1 This would be client side not agency. I don’t yet know their mat leave policy but I get no mat leave where I’m at currently so not a real consideration factor for me. I was thinking waiting for an offer would be best. But happy to hear someone mentioned it during the interview process with a positive outcome. Curious why you chose to mention it during the process, if you don’t mind sharing?
I’m in a bit of a different boat because i was hired to be someone’s partner but i waited till there was an offer on the table and then told them
I wouldn’t say anything till you have a written offer but would ask detailed questions on all health benefits.
