Fresher offers at Amazon

I received a FTE offer for SDE 1 role from Amazon in September last year from my campus recruitment drive. How secure is my offer? Will I get affected by the ongoing layoff season?

Regarding what exactly? What do I ask? Besides we only get a helpline email id. We have no direct connection with the HR

One reason is they are hiring people at lesser pay by laying of one's with fat packages

Actually they're hiring us with higher pay. Higher than ever before specifically for fresh graduates.

He/she is referring to yourself after 5-8 years when you will be getting your ""higher than before"" salary. It's like they will replace you with someone at lower pay.

Ask the HR, how can people here answer this?

HRs are not connected to us directly. We need anonymous insider information to calm our nerves.

Not to spread panic, but the trend of layoffs is LIFO at Amazon irrespective of background, levels. My (practical) suggestion be, build a backup.
