Hey everyone, hope you are well. I have a question, is it normal for companies to require new hires to do a 6 months probation period? And what would job security look like doing that period?

I also had to go through six months of probation and I was a lateral hire. However, it never was mentioned and it does not change much. However, go through your offer letter to see if any benefits change.
