It’s better to have loved and to have lost than to never have loved at all.
I would much rather have been hired at AWS in mid 2020 (which I was), make over six figures more over the next two years than I would have anywhere locally (I work remotely) and gotten laid off (I haven’t) than not be hired at all.
What makes you assume you wouldn't have simply found another well paying position, and still had it, since in this scenario companies are now thinking about hiring sustainably?
I too work remotely making more than I would locally, and I left my previous company for a new place only to be laid off six months later. I would far rather not been hired into the new company and still be where I was at than suddenly job hunting (I have plenty of runway, I should be fine).

Well, in my specific case do you know of any other major tech company that would have hired me to consult other enterprise companies on how to develop on top of AWS?

I changed jobs 6 times between 2012-2020. I stay prepared to interview.
