PM is irrelevant role and will die in next 2-3 years.
So here’s the deal. I started as a SWE for Boeing 6 months ago on the defense side. I am performing great, great reviews from my manager this end of year and I am already debatably outperforming over half my team. I have had multiple members of my team tell me how lucky Boeing was to have found me (not bragging, just relevant details). I really like my manager, my team members, and the work is... OK. Definitely not as mentally stimulating as I would like, incredibly slow, and working on very outdated software stack, but it’s super easy and relaxing, I have more time for family, extremely stable work, etc. I am anticipating an offer from a startup I applied to on a whim for a Senior Data Scientist role. I think the work would fit my interests and skill set more (I have PhD in Asyrophysics), but I am worried the instability of the young company (20 employees and growing). Question: If I took this job and left Boeing after only 6 months and the new company failed and a year later I was without a job, would Boeing be willing to take a chance on me and hire me back? Follow up question: What level of RSU (or any offer in general) would make you feel comfortable making this job change? I think there is significant risk in working for a startup and I want to be compensated appropriately for taking on that risk. TC: 109k Anticipated offered TC: 150k Base, 15k Bonus, Stock: ??? #engineering #software #swe #datascience #boeing
No, 6 months isn't long enough. 1 year min
Yeah, they’re desperate for any remote form of software talent. In fact, if you leave you can come back at a higher level so a lot of people leave for that reason too when growth stalls. 6 months isn’t ideal but just make up some excuse and I doubt they care
No it won't hurt you in the system. It may hurt you with the manager reputation depending on how you leave. There is no magical flag in the hiring systems that say don't hire this person solely because were employed for x months. However getting rehired will be dependent on job availability and hiring freezes and timing. I would recommend you don't burn a bridge on the way out. Make friends with the hiring managers and leave after transitioning what work you have. Then if you want to come back email the hiring manager(s) your interest and they may think of you if/when they can post a requisition. Boeing is actually a smaller company than you think and has a long memory of reputation, so good advice for any company you think you want to go back to is don't piss people off.
Not likely after bailing after 6 months. Its not the best look.
