Exit interviews: Manager asks where you’re headed to / what you’re doing next... Not wanting to burn bridges, you say...?

Tell them the truth? And use your soft skills to explain why? Not hard. Definitely don’t lie.

I am leaving primarily because of my manager. The way I am handling is by letting everyone know where am I heading next but when he asked me, I politely said I will evaluate ones I move out!! Do you guys think I did the right thing by doing this ? (I wanted to keep water under the bridge but just can’t)

Ya if the reason is money, every one can usually understand and empathize

For a couple of people that just left in my group, they both said they had multiple offers and hadn’t decided yet. Basically, a polite way of not saying anything

I always ask because I want to know who’s hiring... I’m looking for jobs too, you know? Selfish.

funny

I am baffled by the amount of people on here that suggest not saying anything or claim to have not said anything when they have left a company. I have worked at multiple companies over 12 years, have had several people who work for me quit, and outside of this app have never once encountered or even heard talk of someone declining to say where they were going next. That would be more of a burned bridge from my perspective than someone telling me they were going to a direct competitor.

Hey All,
I finished a third round interview, and HR contacted me that afternoon saying I had positive feedback across the board and they would contact me the next day regarding next steps. It’s been two days and they finally get back to me saying they haven’t been able to sync with the hiring manager but will keep me posted. Honestly I wish they would talk with the hiring manager and then let me know the decision instead of checking in. It’s messing with my emotions.

Anyone have any idea when the hiring freeze might end within AWS ProServ? I’m currently at Amazon and have a TS clearance, PMP & CSM.

I currently work as an APM at a FAANG company but recently received an offer to join an MBB. I’m very excited about the role but didn’t realize I’d need to take a pay cut when I applied (~100k base + ~20k bonus + ~60k equity vs. 90k base + 10-20k bonus). Considering that I currently work 40-60 hours/week, I’ll be making significantly less per hour at the MBB. I’m very interested in the opportunity but also don’t want to make a poor financial decision early in my career. Thank you for your time!
