What do you do when you feel the goalpost has been/is being moved re: billable requirements? Like there's a spoken vs unspoken? I chose this job based on billables vs salary and what I'm being told I'm expected to do now is 20-30% (at least) > than what was initially agreed upon. Given my other life responsibilities, this is creating a huge strain & I feel like this is slowly getting harder & harder on my spouse & kids. I'm grateful to have lots of good work but not sure how to course correct.

Was originally told 150-160. Then minimum 167. Then 180. Then 200. And yes, as I hit each tier, it was revealed to me that “actually we expect more and you’re underperforming.”

I'm hearing "well the initial number is ok if you only care about doing the bare minimum - if you want to succeed here and demonstrate that you're partner material, you're going to have to do more." (He would not clarify what "more" means.)

like

I'd just do the minimum or slightly more. Say they require, or expect 1800, I would not do more than 1900 at all, and even then I'd probs sit pretty and be fine around 1850.

Hi All, I recently interviewed at Amazon and Google for software engineer and passed both interviews. I have an offer on the table from Amazon but with Google I am officially in team matching and my recruiter tells me that the queue is pretty backed up now and it can take a long time. My question is should I take the Amazon offer now or decline Amazon and hold out for Google? I have heard that Google has better wlb/benefits. But I'm scared to decline Amazon without a guaranteed job offer.
