I noticed this while at Amazon two distinct cohorts, many who quit within a year and those who don’t tend to stay 6+ years. This could be the case at other places too.
But at Amazon it’s super critical and luck to start off in a team that’s supportive, isn’t in critical path and isn’t struggling with operational/oncall load. There are teams I had seen which would chew out new hires within 6 months.
- sshine 3y agoThe team is definitely a big factor. But the mental mind game that the individual brings is just as important. I joined a moonshot factory once, the boss had rampant ADHD, I switched projects 6 times in 6 months until I pulled the plug. Got my friend hired just before that, and he’s been there for 3 years now.
