Hi everyone,

I’m working as an SDE1 at Amazon India and joined around 2 months ago. Today something really stressful happened.

Some thief entered our place and stole a few devices including mobiles and my Amazon office laptop. The laptop is very expensive (around 2.5L+). The incident was captured in CCTV, but unfortunately the face is not very clear.

We already filed a police complaint and are currently waiting for the FIR copy. I immediately informed IT support, and they said they need the FIR details from my side.

Honestly I’m very worried since I joined very recently, and my mind is going into worst-case scenarios about whether employees are asked to pay for stolen laptops in genuine theft cases like this.

Has anyone working at Amazon India faced something similar before? How did the internal process go after submitting the FIR and informing IT/security teams?

Any current or ex amazonians who saw such situations, please tell what happened,how they resolved the issue.

Would really appreciate hearing from anyone who has gone through this before. Thanks.

My younger brother finished his class 12th. He didn't have any coaching and cannot join in IIT,NIT or tier 1 college.

Based on state level engineering exam result he might join in tier 3 college, where placements are less, mostly service based companies.

context: I joined engineering in 2021 in a tier 3 private college.I feel situations have changed a lot in past 5 years.

I worked very hard and secured an internship. later switched to another company.But at the same time, I’ve seen many talented people struggle to get good placements mainly because of being in a Tier 3 college.

I know how bad the market is , what struggles freshers face.The competition has increased. For ex: when I joined college , we had around 1000 students across all departments of first year. now same college has 1000+ only in CS branches.lot of competition has increased now.

Also, with AI tools,cluade code becoming so advanced now, I’m honestly worried about how things will look 4 years down the line. By 2030, will entry-level opportunities reduce even more?

So my question is:

By the time he finishes Btech , then will there be chances to join any decent service based company and work for few years atleast. then improve skills , switch to better roles after getting some experience.

I request people in this field, students to share their honest opinion.

Thanks in advance
