WHAT ARE THE BEST OPTIONS FOR AMAZON SDES THINKING ABOUT LEAVING OVER RTO POLICY (HACKER NEWS THREAD)

Summary from the TLDR newsletter

This thread is for SDEs thinking of leaving Amazon over the 5-day return-to-office announcement. It discusses the best options for work-from-home, flexibility, interesting projects, and salaries. There are a lot of good options out there, but workers may have to accept lower pay. Talented Amazon engineers should basically have the 'pick of the litter' and companies will likely be fawning over them. Amazon recruiters periodically ping previous employees to see if they're interested in returning, so it's worth leaving the company on good terms.
