To be a bit clearer; two years of strong performance. Third year was the promotion cycle, including lining up endorsements, being put on “the list” business cases, panels, background checks, etc. Notified before the end of that year. Rinse, repeat for partner.
Better?

Hey Amazon 🐠

Would love to get an opinion regarding flexibility for working parents at Amazon. I’ve heard quite a bit of negativity about working at Amazon, but wanted to get a broader perspective particularly about work-life balance for Sr Tech Product Mgr roles. I understand this is team dependent but the more insight/opinions I hear certainly helps.

Thanks!

Parents who have or have had a baby. How was the first year or two for you? Was it awesome, was it terrible, did it change your relationship with your partner? Did you regret it, did you want out? I've heard that having a baby can really change things between you and your partner and that a lot of marriages fall apart at that point. Just interested in stories and feedback.

Also curious if one partner kind of pressured the other into having a child/was driving force in wanting the baby.

What is the partner compensation like at BDO? Base/equity as well as pension. I heard there is 5 years as fixed partner and then 10 as variable partner before you can earn pension. Say you make partner at 40, so can’t earn pension til 55. If you retire at 55 does that mean all you have is whatever you’ve contributed to 401k or otherwise saved? Or is there a lifetime salary if you’ve been partner a certain duration?
