Let's grab popcorn and check out my PIP story. I was hired as New grad SDE in 2020 year. Everything was going good until the manager changed. The new Manager was SDE2 in the team, and they became a manager. This new manager was incompetent, and never talk about anything except work in the 1:1. First, I got NI ratings. Manager told not to trust on any teammates of what they say, just listen to what manager says. I was put into focus in 2021, and was given bunch of projects for next 3 months. I woke up at this time, and looked up into blind to see what's going on. After reading bunch of posts I realize that it's not worth to go through focus. So, I listen to blind folks, and did LC, and got an offer in a month. Now, I was relaxed and ready to resign from Amazon. But people told me to get severance. So, now I was just doing LCing and doing lots of interview’s in the meantime. Then, on my birthday my manager told me that they're extending the focus time, and they felt so sorry to share this news on my birthday. That manger doesn't know I have already offer long time ago, and now I decided that I'm not leaving without tier-1 severance. Then, come the day of meeting with HR about the PIP. I got option to either leave or go through PIP. It was my exciting day. I didn’t gave a shit about options until 5 pm of the last 5 business day. Then, suddenly I chose to leave Amazon. And guess what, my manager was surprised to see that, and they setup a meeting to understand why would I leave amazon. First, they asked where I'm moving to, and I said I just want to get a break, and they asked if I’m on Visa / GC / US citizen, and asked me how will I get a new job in 60 days as I’m on Visa. What a d*ck. That’s my little story. TLDR; I was hire to fire. TC : Before PIP 140k New TC : 180k YOE : 1
Everyone should just leave Amazon

I'm glad you enjoyed.
How can an sde2 become a manager?
SDE2 -> SDE3 -> SDM
Kids are purposely made managers because kids can be easily threatened to meet the pip quota while the tenured manager protects his devs
I have noticed that immigrant managers who graduated from foreign universities usually tend to have the slave master mindset.
Lol isn't this racist
you rock 🙌, where are you going to?
Classic example of how to leave Amazon. Good job.
🍿
How long have you been working at Amazon before applying for another job? Also how would you explain the reason to join another company within short period of time?
I applied when I was into 8 months into Amazon. I would just explain that I want to work in new technologies and explore new opportunities. Although, I just focus on what the new company is looking for in these questions. Don't bad mouth the current company.
So is your next company FAANG based? Or slightly less popular than Amazon
Kudos man. Inspiring story. Kick that bastard balls while coming. What a d**ck he is. Pathetic
Lol
