Target Hiring
- vote We've been asked to target LCOL areas for new hires. With this new "Virtual First" WFH mantra our directive for new hires is to exclude HCOL areas. We're being asked to not hire in San Francisco, New York, Seattle... at all. We're even being asked to not look in lower-than-high COL areas like Austin, Chicago, DC. So the list where we should be looking

- How can Amazon find enough people to hire given the URA targets? Amazon has ~70000 devs. Let’s say 10% get PIPed or leave on Dev List every cycle, then that means 14000 people are marked as not eligible for rehire every year. The US only confers ~ 65000 CS degrees annually, and that figure includes all the low-tier universities and community colleges. Only a fra
- vote Do Amazon SDMs get pipped if they can't meet hiring targets? Wondering why Amazon SDMs are sending so many messages for open positions. Do they get pipped if they don't meet hiring targets? Or are they just looking for hire-to-fire scapegoats so that they don't lose their current engineers.

- With Amazon’s high hiring bar and rigorous promotion criteria’s, is 10% LE a good target?

- Amazon to increase Focus quotas in 2022 I heard from a friend who's a Director up for VP promo at Amazon. He said that S-Team is requiring every org in the company to increase its Focus (aka Dev List) targets to 15% in 2022. This means VP orgs should place 3 in 20 of their total headcount on Focus at some point in the year, which increase
