I have been put on pivot . As usual, I have 2 options : severance or work through the pivot process. However I'm on an F1 Visa (I haven't got my H1 yet) and it's only valid till mid next year. There are very slim chances of companies taking me in if I have to move companies at this time. Anybody here who has been in such a situation and any pointers as to what can be done ?
Can you pivot to other team?
being put on pivot means?
PIP
Oh.. thanks for the info
I know someone who joined Amazon in August 2018 and got into pivot in November 2018. This guy was F1 and no h1b on hand. He decided to take the severance and within 3 weeks got another job in a tech company. I still see him around which means he got h1b from this company...in other words, while the chances are slim i still think you can get it. If I were you I would start reaching out to your network ASAP. I am sure you will get something.
How much is the severance typically ?
Based on what he or she stated in the comment it seems OP comes from grad school. If this is correct OP will around 20k and will not need to return first year bonus and relocation expenses.
That's really sad. Try fighting. There is nothing to lose. It will hard to get an offer externally with your immigration situation.
Work through it. It will be difficult but start licking your managers AH. Document every thing, all positives, talk to a lot of people, don’t be ashamed. All the best.
YOE at Amazon?
