Biden’s new tax proposal is wild
The only benefit of working at Li is good work and life balance and high hourly pay. However, LinkedIn is part of MS now, and MS is good at controlling ROI.linkedin is a low frequently usage website and technically don’t need to deal with scalability challenge, and you won’t learn any advanced technology or engineering best practices at linkedin. To be honest, Linkefin technology/infra/tools sucks. And I believe the Li will not able to keep low or negative ROI under MS. You don’t have any chance to even use the engineering best practices you were asked during li interview, with low qps, what ever you design will work. I personally regret joining Li so my opinion is biased. Please do your own research.
The more you know 🌈 ⭐️
It is matter of time when high compensation practice of linkedin will come under microsoft radar. Usually that leverage is given for 2-3 years and i think that honeymoon period is coming to an end soon.
LI Is overall overstaffed in many orgs/teams, so be prepared for layoff or political war.
I feel like we are working at different companies. I came home exhausted after another day of 12 hours work. Projects are challenging in our org. And you got so much time to write these? I’m jealous. lol
What do you do that’s so technically challenging?
Distributed system. To be fair part of the reason is time constraint. Most of the days are like 9 hours.
Linkedin is on par with Google Facebook
No one forces you to stay stop bitchin
I think you meant Bitch[in]
Looks like you need to resign rather than complaining
Something about the way you wrote this makes me think that you're a so so developer and they have you working on lowly tasks.
Good work, balance of life and good money... and you kinda sound like you’re complaining.
Lol, take it easy man. It can’t be that bad.
Waiting for my one year cliff and will run. Li is not a place for engineer still have tech passion and want to achieve engineering excellence. I was fooled by their craftsmanship interview model and I think this is the company cares about craftsmanship. After joining, i realized the company don’t need craftsmanship, it is low qps site, whatever you do will work. And the reason they promote craftsmanship is because they don’t need it. With high qps sites such as google, amazon etc, you have to design it using scalable way with best craftsmanship, otherwise, site will down. Yeah, li is quite bad place for any passionate engineers
Interesting write up, none the less. What do you mean by qps? It does make sense that scalability isn’t as big a deal there as say google, amazon, etc.
