I heard a rumor that Amazon has a "5 year plan" for hires. Basically that after 5 years, you will need to find another position in another company. Is this true or only for college hires? TIA!

Most people don’t make it one year - it’s a miserable place to work in many orgs. If you make it 5 years, they have plans to keep you around.

It’s less the 5 year plan and more the 4 year vesting period for RSUs. When RSU vesting is done, so are most employees, if they weren’t PIP’d out or opted out beforehand.

Should I stay at a company I know I like culture-wise when my manager said they will try to promote me, but with no guarantee. Or should I take a job offer I was given with a nice raise, but is in consulting at Slalom. I have not worked in consulting before. There is no travel with Slalom, but the idea of being the new person all the time isn’t too appealing. Less pay and known culture, or more pay unknown job satisfaction?
