Feeling stuck
I am stuck at l6 without promo for 8 years. Net worth is $1.7M. No line of sight to get to 7 for next two years too. I want to jump out of Amazon but need another 6 months to get out of golden hand cuffs. Around $200K in stocks until November. What to do? Feeling stuck and horrible Tc 411K this year and project 300K next year
You’ll get paid more when you jump. Big companies match the vest. Leave if you aren’t happy.
Prep for interviews for the next 6 months and then jump. If you are ready, start interviewing and jump as soon as you find a better deal. What’s the issue?
Build an interesting life outside of work. It’s a job. You have money now figure out what’s next in life.
...Teal what is with these comments? Like seriously, are you okay? Please let this be some blind inside joke I haven't heard of yet.
What’s your yoe?
This is shitty job market. Even if you find new role. Chances are you could be targeted for URA.
URA?
ChatGPT is smarter than me. In this context, "URA" likely refers to an "Unplanned Reduction Adjustment," a term used to describe layoffs or job cuts that are not scheduled or expected. It implies a sudden change in employment status, typically due to economic pressures or organizational restructuring.
Are you an SDE or SDM?
OP, the earlier you leave Amazon, the happier you will be, you've been L6 for too long and did you noticed the title inflation, your value is actually going down, after a couple years everyone will be senior SDE from Amazon in the market
Dude ! Are you ok ?
It’s literally what your post sounds like too
