How do you all deal with the guilt of leaving a comany/ team? I have been working at Microsoft for 1 year now, and seriously considering moving. I find the code base to be very legacy and I mostly work on obscure bugs that I spend so much time on, mostly due to navigating this large code base and not having much docs to refer to. Hence I find the job slightly unsatisfying, and that I could learn more elsewhere. However, I love the wlb, the team and company culture. The guilt stops my applying.
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?

Some companies differentiate between Lead and Staff - Lead is one or more steps above Senior on the IC (individual contributor) track, while Staff is one of two highest roles on the IC track (Staff vs Principal). Often, Lead engineers are embedded in a specific team, probably a PDE team (product - design - engineering) while often Staff engineers are not, they work on big cross cutting technical initiatives and consult with architects. Regarding seniority, Staff is more senior than Lead.
Engineering Manager here- keep in mind that different industries, or even companies can have different job titles for the same work. I recommend focusing on responsibilities, job expectations, scope of responsibility more than the job title! Feel free to DM me with more questions!
This is the best answer, thank you.
I’m a lead engineer. I aspire to staff.
