Duniya me Vishwaguru ka Danka
Before Blind, I had one job with “decent” pay. Now I have two, the second being preparation for interviews. Before, I didn’t care about TC or FAANG. Now I’m obsessed with them. Every time I compare my TC with other people’s, especially SWEs, it kinda depresses me. Ideally I’d like to get into FB/G as a DS. Granted DS doesn’t pay as well (RSUs) as SWE, but sure as hell it’ll beat my current TC. TC ~ 142/20/20 ~ 170k - 190k PhD + MS + 15 YOE EDIT: 1) Anyone judging me on Blind for using Blind is a MF hypocrite. 2) Anyone commenting on TC, happiness, greater purpose in life, and so forth: Post your TC or GTFO.
It's kind a sad that you derive happiness by comparison with others. You should work on that.

Well said
Bigger TC? j/k
Nothing wrong in being 'motivated' by other peoples' TC, as long as you have a rational goal, a strategy and plans to get to that goal without ruining yourself or family. If it's all moping and no action, then you'd better try the meditation thing someone else suggested. Also, this is bullcrap: "It's kind a sad that you derive happiness by comparison with others". Fuck that. Go derive your happiness wherever you fucking want to. Why is it sad? Arbitrary value judgement.
Amen!
Where are you based? Your TC could be a lot higher than ours after taking cost of living into account.
Fremont. 😂 LOL. I wish I were getting that TC in Oklahoma.

Blind. The ultimate rat race app.
True
“Taxi drivers in rural Nepal...happiest people on Earth.” I challenge this assumption. Would you switch place with them? I hear the Nepali taxi companies are handing out H1B visas like hot potatoes.
Awww, how convenient for you. You love your family. All those people from India and Nepal who work their asses off leetcoding to try to land a job in CA tech sector away from their families, must not have heard about the local taxi companies. I think your post has good sound bites but generally devoid of substance.
