Try to take short term project.. if your utilisation low they will initiate pip

I am not aware much of pip.. they will set some checkpoint goals. You need to meet within the timelines.. otherwise they will initiate the exit formalities... But it's all depends on manager..

My company went toxic in the last couple months. Chose me and started interviewing. Had a very successful interview with Amazon but recruiter is working hard trying to place me and said there’s no knowing how long to find a team. Meanwhile I just received a Director offer for a company with a 29% pay bump July 1. If Amazon or any other FAANG/large co gets back to me, is there an acceptable way to not burn bridges with new job and accept or delay start date with FAANG? Or fuck it just hop?
