What is "corporate workforce"? I assume it does not include hourly (warehouse) staff. But AWS? With 75% of corporate profits and high growth I wouldn't imagine they'd want to skimp there.
Over the past two years I've gotten regular AWS recruitment emails, in fact for the last few months it's been every two weeks (from different people each time!) I responded that I had left tech, but if Amazon Studios was interested in an unrepped screenwriter I could be the guy. :P Some responded positively initially, though none followed up past the first reply.
I'll miss responding to those for a while.

Am I missing something, or are these contradictory?
I had an interview yesterday somewhere where they said they were really excited to move me forward, only to find out today that they're putting the position on hold :(
Man, it sure seems like the fed announcement yesterday spooked a lot of tech companies, eh? The thing I don't get is that the federal funds rate was also being raised in the mid 2010s, yet there was no corporate freakouts: https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/FEDFUNDS
Is the root cause of this really just overhiring during the pandemic? Or is there something else at play here?
