I'm sick of Facebook. My work is boring and I'm working with internal tools with no bloody documentation. Stack overflow is pointless here. Yet they expect us to move at the speed of light. My team members don't care much for me. I plan on moving to Google/Airbnb after I hit my 1 year mark. I'm pretty good with Leetcode. Would these problems be better there?
Why not change teams?
Wondering the same. Is it hard to change teams at FB?
most teams are similar
Come to Google.. it's way better
Yes, join G and make them reach 100k employees soon.
Haha that stat is totally irrelevant. You actually have staffed teams for infra and frameworks.. so you're life will be much saner. But if you want to do hacker nights with 21 year olds without family or life and glad that you had more impact by getting some 60 something grandma addicted to a dying Facebook app.. go ahead..
But you make so much money...
If you are complaining about not being able to rely on stackoverflow I don't see how joining google will help
I heard they have incredible documentation there.
Lol. Most things are either in beta and have documentation “planned some time next quarter ” or already deprecated. However office hours are really helpful.
I work four times harder in fb than in google, and I make twice as much. So worth it or not depends on who you are.
For the sake of clarifying, that means you’re making half the money! (on a per hour basis)
Yes. But the problem is that the time is wasted if not work.
We work really hard at Uber but the problems we get to solve are incredible, and the people are all great imo. You should try interviewing here
Why are the problems incredible at Uber? I’ve already heard the revolutionary transportation pitch. Is there more to it
Running a distributed dispatch system at scale is no easy feat..
Airbnb is pretty solid (some bias 😄). The engineering problems you’ve described im sure is in every company
Come to Uber 😀.
Join us at Airbnb. StackOverflow is not useless here. I used it today. Admittedly it may be getting less useful as we move more to internally-built tools and frameworks. Our culture is good—internationally, not accidentally. Our CEO is sharp and is an excellent leader. Our tech stack is Ruby, Java, and JavaScript if that matters to you.
Come to Uber
I don’t think the $900M loss last quarter is gonna help recruit anyone haha
