Is 50k really that much?
IIUC, Google's attrition rate is ~1/3 and they have ~250k people so each year there are ~80k people just from Google looking for a new job. Then take into consideration there are a lot more companies with their own attrition rate.
- spacemadness 4y agoSure, but that’s presumably a stat from a potentially more favorable hiring market.
- toyg 4y agoThose are insane number, do you have a source for them...? 30% yearly attrition rate is the stuff of call-centres, I find it hard to believe 1 out of 3 googlers quits the free-everything "googleserf" lifestyle (@ Douglas Coupland) every year.
- lbrito 4y agoGoogle's attrition can't be 33%, did you mean 3%?
- ghaff 4y ago33% seems high but 3% seems absurdly low. FWIW, this article puts the tech sector at a bit over 20% in 2020. One would think Google was on the lower side given that at least on the engineering side is probably going to find it hard to walk into a higher paying role from Google. (Though obviously people leave for other reasons.)
