Amazon work culture has burnt me out and planning to leave before year 1.

What’s killing me more is the perception future hiring manager would have if I make this move.

There’s a lot of expectation because people usually go to meta , google , stripe or hot startups like databricks from amazon.

So therefore I am personally conflicted whether this move is justified or not. Mentally I am tired working here but expectations from other folks who left for bigger gig is killing me inside

And personally I like laid back culture where I have enough time to learn new stuff and there’s no pressing deadlines dictated by manager.

As you know every tech company is taking 4-5 rounds of
interviews. I don’t think I will have enough time to prepare for next big gig if I wanted to if I stay here at amazon

So, I am thinking to work at intuit for 1-2 years and then work on my skill set and LC then jump to potentially google and then retire @ G


People @intuit do you get call back from other companies or not? Are exit opportunities good or not?

If exit opportunities aren’t good then I might have to deal with torture for 2 years at amazon before I can make a good move upwards ⬆️

    It sounds like you will greatly regret this move because you have heavily attached your worth and esteem to your work (more largely company prestige). You are young and have energy to grind now and coast later. On the other hand it also sounds like you don't have the stamina or capabilities to cut the cheddar at top companies. I suggest you either change your perspective or mindset or step up your game. Because you are so young, you will have that continuous fomo if you take the easy way out unless you have a paradigm shift in what is important to you (what you think is people's judgment vs your own happiness and wellbeing).

    Tip-- no one is "thinking" about you as much as you are thinking about them thinking about you.

    Peeps from Intuit, have some self-respect 😂 this guy is being an a-hole and calling out intuit as if its a dump and you guys still responding to his question with guidance?
    Are you serious?

    OP, lets talk technical depth and what you have achieved in your career. You sound extremely shallow and have too much pride attached to your company. Why should Intuit or any company take you in? because you think you are awesome? Too early in your career to let it get to your head buddy! if you can’t stand the pressure there, looks like you are mediocre after all!

    Lol, culture here is great.
    You will get calls from all big companies.
    And Intuit interviews are not hard, not typical leetcode type.

    Such shallowness.. Perception and all.. Don't chase FAANG, chase a good culture for long term happiness, health and wealth. I moved from AMZN to VMW, earning much higher and growing at a much higher speed with an amazing culture. I know many who went to non FAANG and are actually being valued much higher than you would at any Alpha dominated FAANGs.

    So you think working at Intuit is going to be a peace of cake and hiring managers are going to ignore your resume because of Intuit?

    The sheer vanity 👏🏻👏🏻

      OP
      Thanks ! Meta

      I am just paranoid as I can’t afford to get a kick early in my career.

      I want to work at supportive culture where I can learn peacefully before I can swing higher.

      Amazon is fine but culture is shit af.
      People are thrown out for set %age due to which my brain is always in danger mode and anxiety is always high during 1:1
