Crazy how in 2022, I had such a positive perception of all these big tech companies, how secure they are, and how well they treat their employees (not you amazon)

How times have changed

I suppose they became "big" highly profitable organizations not for their people first mentality, rather a profits over people thought process. (former Amazon employee)

You should have known better in 2022. Tech companies are the worst of work life balance. The high pay isn’t because they loving giving back. It’s to drive massive profit and then drop the dead weight the second they decide they don’t want it.

I still remember a tour in 2012 at Google with devs sleeping on the floor and empty energy cans everywhere and the person showing us around talking about the urgent deadlines. Yeah no thanks. I will stick to my lesser pay and Coach my kids play soccer thank you.

I don't like my job, the responsibilities and tasks aren't right for me or my lifestyle.

Key positives for my current employer are pay and security. But my new role within the company isn't working for me, and ultimately I don't think it is for the company either.

A much much smaller (20 people) company offered me a role.

With the global economic situation as is, is it worth the risk to change to a job I know i'd like more with less pay, and potentially less job security?

T.I.A.

I interviewed with a company last week and the interviewer said he would submit my notes to the hiring manager and I would hear back this Monday from HR on next steps/if they want to move forward. I didn’t hear back yesterday so I emailed HR and she said she wasn’t part of the hiring decision so would reach out to the initial interviewer for his feedback. I haven’t heard from her and it’s been 24 hours - starting to get worried. What should I do? Does this mean they’re not interested?
