I think key to retention today is Work Life Balance and firm's culture (barring exceptions). If an employee is treated as an equal partner (ofcors without equity😉), s(he) wont start looking out in the first place. While all seem to be talking of promoting this, very few practice. I dont think am going to ever leave Google just for sake of higher compensation.

Bain & Company Boston Consulting Group is too slow. For anything you wanna do inside the organization, 12 months of tenure is required. Even for promotions its the same no matter hoew exceptionally you perform.
Whereas Bain & Company has no such minimum tenure requirement. My colleague got promoted in 4th months of joining right out of college.

Until I get into any such good company...
my idea is, if I am not being respected at my workplace, let me get disrespected at higher compensation.
Would you be willing to refer me to Google? Tbh, I didn't do Google specific preparation. Should I first prepare for Google and then apply?
Thanks!
I totally agree with views of Googler#1. And yes, I too was hired without any referral, so definitely it works if you have enough conviction.
First, definitely mention it in Googlegeist, it does actually help change things. Also are you thinking of specifics? I personally don't expect to be a "partner" in all things, that wouldn't be sustainable, but I do feel like my opinion is valued and people try to solicit ideas and opinions from others on a lot of things.
Best part of interaction with a fellow colleague is that its always backed by specifics 🙃
