Median tenure at Google is about a year: http://www.slate.com/blogs/business_insider/2013/07/28/turnover_rates_by_company_how_amazon_google_and_others_stack_up.html http://www.slate.com/blogs/business_insider/2013/07/28/turno.... Amazon is famous for burning out some of its employees very quickly. Why do you think 7.5% is a reasonable number?
- vonmoltke 9y agoYou seem to be agreeing with me, so I'm not sure if I understand you... I was addressing Patrick's numbers (50k software engineers per year and >90% retention rate). Your link provides evidence that the latter number is incorrect, which was part of my point in both posts. In fact, it demonstrates that Patrick's 5-year scenario is the exception rather than the rule.
- JoachimSchipper 9y agoI'm sorry, I just misread your post - I am, in fact, agreeing with you. (Of course, both you and Patrick can be right if the typical 5-year trajectory involves only well-paying jobs, even it's usually more than one job.)
