My SO moved dept at work; industry. His boss is begging me to leave consulting & backfill his role. Is it weird to worry about his full transparency to my work life? I’m a diff person in the office.

You need to assess it very objectively - would you consider the same role at a competitor? Does this present career growth? How’s the culture of that team?
I think that backfilling for your SO will always add an element of drama “he used to do this” and by default, compare you to him. Also, why add the travel burden on yourself if you don’t need to?

How does his boss know you’ll be a good backfill? Have you worked together directly or is the boss getting info from your SO?

We wouldn’t cross paths much. - Huge company, campus, no direct dept interaction.
It is a great, chill job (We both work in my system & process)
I don’t ‘mind’ traveling but I know it gets to him.
He is legit friends with old, and new, boss outside of work. It has potential to be the best or worst situation.
SO built what this role is maintaining, so immediate support and shouldn’t take long to master the learning curve.

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?

My cleaning lady now drives to our apartment and finds street parking. She got a ticket last week for not seeing the signs. I suggested to her if the signs weren’t clear she could contest it. I’m struggling here - should I pay for the ticket? On one level, she has worked with us for a long time, but I also don’t think it’s necessarily my responsibility. I give her a nice bonus and raise each year. Do I pay it once as a good will gesture? She has other clients too that she drives too.
