To all blind parents: We are expecting the second child in 8 months. I am Currently L5 at aws. L6 promo just got rejected but the gaps are small and can cover before the birth of baby. Does it make sense to stay in Amazon and take the paternity leave TC hit then jumpship after L6 promo ? TC bumps in the poll are estimated. TC 280k Yoe 7
*If* you're sure you can get the promo next cycle, it makes sense to wait. Are you?
No. It is not entirely in my control although my manager pretends it is all in my hand.
So you’re going to leave immediately after paternity leave? Feels cold lol. Also, second child so you know what it’s like but a… how many LC you think you can do on paternity leave? No sleep or free time.
I hear you it is not very realistic
I don’t get it. You currently have a 1.5x TC offer? If not then stay until paternity leave and LC during leave
It is not hard to get 1.5x TC offer and jumpship now. I am interviewing now but I am not sure if it is a good move given my family and promo situation

PM is irrelevant role and will die in next 2-3 years.
What makes you think the additional 8 months will double your TC compared to 1.5x for leaving now?
Cracking more LC during the paternity leave and apply with L6 status instead of L5
Companies don’t really care if you are senior or not. It’s all about interview performance, being senior doesn’t automatically get you a senior+ offer..
