Fresher with Oracle CSS Associate Engineer offer (Joining in June) . Should I be worried about the 30,000 layoffs and What should I do now?

Hi everyone,
I’m a fresher and I’ve received an offer from Oracle as an Associate Engineer (CSS team) with a June joining date. I’m super excited but also stressed because I’ve been seeing news about Oracle layoffs (~30,000 employees) and it’s making me second-guess everything.

I have a few specific concerns:

  1. How safe are new graduate offers right now?
  2. What can I do between now and June to improve my chances and security (e.g., skills, certifications, interviews, networking)?
  3. Has anyone here recently joined Oracle or been in a similar position?

I really want to start my career strong, but the current situation has me anxious. Any advice, experiences, or insights would be super helpful!

Thanks in advance 🙏
