Yes. Agree with the above statement.

Stay Calm and Don't panic.

Focus on the things we can control.

One of many lessons that I have learned over years in the tech industry is that there's only so much we can control. Especially during the time of volatile environment, as a Senior Software Engineer, I would find ways to invest on myself. And it seems like that you are doing that at Taro Platform and connect with other engineers.

Sorry to hear that you are impacted by the Amazon layoff. It's difficult time with many people I know impacted by the tech layoff. How employer view the employment gap varies depends on employers and hiring managers. Some people may view a gap in employment as a potential red flag, but some would understand the reason for the employment gap given the current tech layoff.

If you've taken the time to focus on interview preparation or skill development, you can present that as a positive and show that you've been proactive during the period of unemployment. In my opinion, it is important to emphasize the value you can bring to a company and to be transparent about your job search and the time you've spent focusing on your career during the interview process.
