Bowl Leader
Welcome to this referral bowl.
So I've had 2 hiring managers and several recruiters from Amazon reach out to me about applying for some open positions with the company (android). I completed the coding assessment and now they want me to go through a round of 5 hour interviews next week. Is there a good chance I'll be hired if engineering managers are reaching out to me? I'm really not sure how badly I want to work for them and I don't want to be laid off months after being hired on. Anyone know what Amazon hiring is like?
Hi all, recently in touch by Spotify recruiter for a Sec Engineer position for remote EU and was told that range was 60-80 out of base salary and equity. Had 2 years of security experience out of my 4 years. Was also told that there is no bonus scheme or no sign in bonus 😕 Not sure how I feel about this tbh.
What do you think?

I had an interview last week and I have been at my current job for 20+ years. the interviewer said the "boss" doesn't even look at resumes that have been at job less than 2 years. I'd say it is generational.

I’d personally recommend having 2 years of the same employment on your resume. You might be able to get away with 1 year but it just gives hiring managers an extra reason to put your application in the trash
I don’t see the harm in looking while you are still working. Most managers don’t see the harm in someone trying to better themselves. It really comes down to whether you have enough experience to be considered for their position. If you’d only been there a year and weren’t currently employed? That’s a whole different story. Good luck!

It does seem like the average time to stay in role is around 2-3 years, especially for the younger generations just starting out in the workforce.
Key Job Tenure Data (2024):
Median Overall: 3.9 years.
Private Sector: 3.5 years.
Public Sector: 6.2 years.
Youngest Workers (20–24): 1.3 years.
Oldest Workers (65+): 10+ years.
Trends and Demographics:
Industry Variations: The highest tenure is in manufacturing (4.9 years) and mining/oil (5.7 years), while the lowest is in leisure and hospitality (2.1 years).
Gender: Women tend to have slightly longer median tenure (4.0 years) than men (3.8 years), partly due to higher representation in public sector roles.
Generational Differences: Millennials (born 1981–1996) average 2–3 years per job, while Gen Z (1997–2012) averages 1–2 years.
Occupational Differences: Management, professional, and related occupations have the highest median tenure (4.8 years).
If you don't see any internal job openings at your current employer, then no problem starting to look elsewhere.
First 6 months to learn
Next 6 months to contribute
Next 3 months to top off
From there on I look for the next role.
When they don't let me move up or around, I go external, and get a bigger bump and better title.
To each their own. Many HMs are are not prepared for the evolving markets and human capital. 3 years is way too long, because at that point one can do their job on auto pilot, and their manager is also too comfortable to let them go elsewhere.
If it's your first job then no.
In your early career you usually get low hanging fruit and no reasonable person would expect you to hang around at that type of job. The longer tenures are suited for better, more desirable jobs, it's usually best to avoid hopping around once you reach those.
I’d give it another 6 months and ask around about your potential for promotion. It’s not too short but it’s not showing much loyalty and might scare off new employers
Wow you’ve learned it all already. Impressive 😀 there’s no upward movement as an option?
