If you're looking to coast like that then yeah, it's hard to leave it. This person actually got out from the PIP by transitioning to 80% (you work four days per week for 80% of the pay and equity). That's definitely not the direction they wanted to go. And it strongly limits your opportunities to advance. Nobody gets promoted unless they work on promo bait projects. Maintenance ain't gonna cut it.
You also can't coast until you hit a certain level (it used to be 5, I think it changed to 4).
Ultimately they were laid off, so was it worth it for them? I don't know, I didn't keep in touch. But maybe.
- uejfiweun 3y agoI wonder though. At a company like Google, you may well be paid more as a L5 than most CTOs make at most companies. There may be no way to "advance" your career by leaving if you're in this position. This may sound depressing but it seems like Google is essentially the peak of prestige and compensation and there is nowhere to go but down if you want to move on.
