What are the best options for Amazon SDEs thinking about leaving over RTO policy
186 points by aws_throwaway 3 days ago
Any SDEs who are thinking of leaving Amazon over the 5-day RTO announcement, what are the best options for WFH flexibility, interesting projects, quality of colleagues, and salary? I'm a DB-focused SDE3 in the Seattle area, but am open to general systems programming projects, with 0-2 days/week onsite.
(from my peers) the MO for those who want to leave seems to be slacking until PIP/Focus/Pivot (for the payout) while looking for outside opportunities. There are a ton of companies out there that meet your criteria, but you’ll have to do some digging. YMMV
