> I have to call bullshit on this. Either you play that out in stealth mode... Again, that depends on your org and team. I know many people(including PMs, UX, Data Science roles, etc...) who have jumped between teams in the first few months of being hired, and even after several years of working at the company. That doesn't make it "bullshit" , your experience is just different. Before I was hired, I read all the horror stories in TeamBlind as well, and I was surprised to see a different environment. Maybe, is survivorship bias, sure, but it just haven't been the case. For example is well known, that AWS is way more cutthroat than Devices, Retail, and the other orgs, but again, depends on your team as well. Most stories come from people who were PIP-ed. As I said before, Amazon is no Google or Microsoft regarding how they treat their engineers, TC, or WLB, thats for sure, but I have heard first hand stories at Facebook(for example) that are way worse than OP's. You can switch teams very easily, even across countries, my manager was able to move to a team in the US from India, being L4, so, there is definitely opportunities.
