Culture went bad?

People at A want to move to B, because culture at A is bad and B seems good.

People at B want to move to C, because culture at B is bad and C seems good.

People at C want to move to D, because culture at C is bad and D seems good.

And finally

People at D want to move to A, because culture at D is bad and A seems good.

Includes everything from Google, Atlassian, PhonePe, Swiggy, Microsoft, Amazon and everyone.

People leave mainly because of their managers. Or people just want a reason to switch and get a hike. Or just want not to miss out on fomo at other companies.

You've just given the textbook definition of a clusterfuck. It doesn't matter which direction you turn in, you are screwed.

I believe instead of people chasing dream companies, if they can identify that one or two teams that they want to work at, irrespective of which company it is, it would be relatively better. Getting onboarded complete to what is being done may help people be better 💁🏻‍♂️

Jobs are a continuum of learning. Especially in the first 15 years. Title and TC chasers lose sight of this reality.

Too many people ask for WLB, growth opportunities, Comp vs YoE and other things that don't matter. Definitely not in the first 10 yrs.

The grind in the first decade of your life defines the trajectory of your career. If you don't go through that hardship - invariably most careers will peter off into mediocrity.

Thats when the A> B > C > D merry go round starts.

People are in search for the ideal company but sadly it doesn’t exist.. (unless it’s yours)

Every role (be it dream role or night mare) will have some aspect that you will love doing, some that you're fine with, some you're not fine with and a few that you will dread

Correct.

Depends on what you need - Great Work, Work-Life Balance, Colleagues, Learning, Target Industry, WFH, Flexibility, etc.. I've worked for decent stints in 2 companies where I enjoyed multiple aspects and left only because the money was way better. So yeah, it's also about getting exactly what you're looking for.

Perfect workplace that checks all boxes does not exist.

Still the concept of dreams companies are glorified a lot 😂

Companies copy each other's practices, including the ones that are dubious with uncertain outcomes, which is why you see certain bad practices getting more prevalent. Take Amazon, for example, which has the reputation of being cut throat. Their PIPs are copied directly from Jack Welch's management philosophy (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vitality_curve). If you're a CEO of a budding e-commerce startup , want to be as successful as Amazon, chances are you too want to implement similar management style to the one at Amazon, including stack ranking.
