I haven’t done shit today!
I know the answer will be leetcode if you are not in big N so I am targeting audience. Regarding question, what do you do to not be bored with life? What are your next goal(s) Whether it be career, relationship, or personal.
To work on longevity
My goal is to be a Principal Engineer. In the mean time I keep myself busy with a ton of crazy hobbies
I thought everyone at Amazon was trying to get into Google?
Nope, I quite like the AMZN atmosphere and I’m not sure Google is all it’s cracked up to be either. I see a lot of chatter about similar systemic issues. Happy with what I have for now. Maybe later
Finding a wife. Might leave the Bay Area for it (among other reasons) Career wise I’m not too ambitious. I’m already L5 and would be 100% happy with that comp outside of the Bay Area. Not sure if principal/L6 is worth the added stress.
I think I lost most of my non-work goals. Now I just want to change the world, for better or worse, doesn’t matter.
As random employee no. 4756 good luck..
What's big N
OP isn’t too smart. Big N is actually for finance. With N=4 OP means FAANG
Couple of people mentioned crazy hobbies. Any suggestions.
Pegging
Gloving Elbow deep
Retire?
Move out of the bay (already have a wife) to somewhere more interesting, ideally Zurich, Amsterdam or Copenhagen.
I want to play video game all day.
Me too. But it gets old fast. A year ago I had a week off when my wife was working so I stayed home and played video games all day. For 3 or 4 days it was awesome. Then I started to feel like I was just wasting my time and not getting anything accomplished. It's a great way to de-stress, but not a substitute for things to do.
You must be stuck in ELO hell...
This is a big problem in google. People do all sorts of weird hobby to keep life interesting. Facebook makes you work so hard that you won’t get a chance to get bored.
