Do people leave FAANG jobs every three months? I thought they stay there for three years to get promotions and then leave

  They take three years to do the three months of junior-level work.

    The ones who do 3 months of actual work get fired because their overperformance scares the boss. But less than 2 weeks of actual work and you're an underperformer. The sweet spot is probably the geometric mean of the two.

      > their overperformance scares the boss i just don't understand this at all - why would someone who is working for you be a threat? They cannot take your job - it's not like them being a good programmer would somehow make them a good dev manager or "boss".

        It's common for high performers to get promoted as a "reward" regardless of management ability.
