You stated “give them time to settle”, can you break that down a little more on how to avoid the fall off? I would say I’m in that position with plans to do the GT OMSCS then try to exit with that, but would you have any recommendations

I dont' see any single pattern. 1. Some people leave in the months timeframe (which often is not a good sign) 2. Some stick in the same role for a few years, fail to get promoted, and when layoffs happen they are the first to go. 3. Some do ok and even get promoted, but are still the first to go in layoffs 4. Some don't do so well and jump ship as soon as they can, and then keep jumping until they find a stable position long term, or learn enough on the job that finally find a position that clicks.
