[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would not go to a place like Amazon if you’d be upset about being pushed out in a year.  My company hired a product manager from there.  He’s very good, which is probably why he lasted 2+ years, but he said after two years he was one of the most senior people on his team.

On the plus side, they are very good with their processes and documentation, which they have to be because employees aren’t around long enough to create any institutional memory.  [/quote]

It’s not Amazon, but definitely in tech.

I mean my plan was to work in my scientific niche forever for the Federal govt, but they are planning a huge change in my agency and the writing on the wall that I either will be done in a year or definitely within 3 years.

Maybe politics will change, yada yada, but we are both Feds so want to diversify our risk since the job stability has been nuked.

I think almost all tech companies are now doing annual layoffs, maybe not advertised as stack ranking (this company doesn’t explicitly call it that, but I know they have had annual layoffs the last two years despite rising revenue).  I think this is a risk at any modern private company now, except maybe defense contractors which are going to have a pipeline of work for a decade. [/quote]
