I get the same question multiple times. How do you account for that?

I know the sample size is small but the fear of PIP and firing at MSFT vs. other big companies is nuts.

What is the URL for this post, and how do I find its web URL within the Blind app? Wanted to send this to a friend who isn't using Blind. EDIT: thanks for posting the polls, and this summary. It confirms my hypotheses, and helps us select the best company/companies to join next.

Is Salesforce part of this poll?
