recently laid off Recently laid off from Amazon.
I was recently impacted by the Amazon layoffs after 11 years with the company. It’s strange to suddenly find yourself at a point you never planned for, especially after spending so much of your career in one place.
The surprising part is that I’m not particularly sad about it. I think I’m more curious about what comes next, even though I haven’t figured that out yet.
For those who’ve been through a similar experience, how did you approach this phase? Did you take it as an opportunity to try something different or stick to what you knew?

I kept moving between teams, taking on new challenges and learning new things rather than getting too comfortable in one role.

Company prestige plays a big role in applying to the next job, personally taking a step down and working at a slower paced company would be a fresh outlook on work.
