Thoughts? Regrets? Recommendations? My 4 year it's coming up.. Need too make moves soon.
Guessing not. But that does not mean you shouldn’t. Depending on what you bring to the table, you could be a big fish in a small pond. Probably more individual ownership and accountability. Show up, deliver some huge wins over a few years, get paid, and move on.
Don't do it
Why?
I think depending on their services, there is a lot of ristrictions like registering new customers, this reflects their vision and the way they work. (Customer opinion)
Its an excellent company to work for. You should make the move.
Name one thing we do better than competition
Replier is negative in every post I've ever seen. Take their advice with many grains of salt.
Yes people make the switch to DO and are happy
Some people leave for AWS and come back and vice versa. So I’ve heard. All depends on the team. Both are amazing companies, but both are exceptionally different in terms of internal structure stability and finances. Obviously the latter.
Yes people have. People have also left us for aws and been unhappy and even come back. If you want to work with actually genuine people and you care about work/life balance it’s a good switch.
Out of college hires maybe? Otherwise who’s gonna take a more than 2x pay cut to go to DigitalOcean and work with C players?
No. Really more family people actually who want to work whatever hours are best for them, be home for dinner, not have to go to an office if they don’t feel like it but still work with brilliant people and make an impact at a smaller company. Not everyone wants to work double the hours to make double the $. They definitely pay at market. But nothing compare to faang comp-wise.
For a second, i thought this was about moving your workloads over. Probably not that many people for workloads or for careers
