Blind College
- vote Blind is like college confidential Used college confidential in high school. It was toxic addictive gossip forum to see other kids with lower SAT score getting admissions at elite colleges. 4 years later, using Blind. TC: 2400 SAT, 2380 SAT 2 (Phy, Chem, Math 2), 5 AP, 3.99 GPA, Valedictorian, Science club president, Chess national
- Blind for colleges? What do you people think? Would someone use it? What can they use it for?
- College Confidential -> r/cscareerquestions -> Blind This place seems like the logical endpoint for all the overachievers in school. Now instead is obsessing about SAT scores and GPA, it's all about the TC. If this describes you, what's your plan after this? I highly doubt VPs and CEOs have time to hang out on the Internet to brag about their total n
- Blind is College Confidential for adults Its the same kids now as adults. Swap GPA, SATs etc with TC. TC 120k
- vote Blind, when you were a college student what was the biggest headache when moving? What made moving at the end of each year a headache or obstacle?
- From 75K to 290K! Thanks to the Blind community! A friend introduced me to Blind at the beginning of the year and I quickly realized that what I previously thought was out there was way below the reality of what people were actually getting paid. Im a first generation college graduate so I didn’t have anyone to advise me on the realities of what i
- vote Am I making enough? Title says it all. Thanks Blind 😊 Tc:75 lpa Yoe :10 Btech from tier 3 college, started career from WITCH at 3.5 lpa. #tech
- Is joining google out of college a bad idea? Tell me if reading blind just has pickled my brain or if I shouldn’t take a job at google right out of college. Reading these posts makes it seem like you never get promoted, never work, and don’t get paid as much as other places. Is this just blind propaganda or is this actually how it is? Would it
- vote Does college prestige matter in tech? I often counsel high school students who are applying to college and I’m often horrified by how much debt students are willing to take on because of rankings. I teach that there are only three fields that prestige matters for law (grad school), IB, and consulting. If you spend any time on r /applyi
- Why is Blind so toxic? When I was in college, computer science and the software industry seemed far more welcoming than it is on Blind now. I feel like people here only really care about TC. Whenever I see Blind posts, they berate people based off TC, where they live, maybe even their race, etc. Even advice seems to be de
- Blind is an echo chamber, no you do NOT have low TC. It seems almost no one on Blind actually knows what low TC is. You have people with 5 YOE claiming their 200K TC is low. You have new grads expecting 150K TC or more fresh out of college, this is getting ridiculous. The average US income is around 60K. And some people like to argue that they live i
- Where will the leetcode bar be in a few years? Bar keeps going up. When I graduated college Trapping Rain Water didn't even exist, now everyone in this swe interview prep group I've joined has it and its related questions mastered. For the Blind 75, will that hold up in 5 years time? Will swe interviews pivot to a different format? Edit: TC 10
- How does recruiter feel when extending offers that pay much better than what they make? I am curious about how recruiters feel when they extend an offer that pays much better than the salary they make as a recruiter? Maybe recruiters on blind can shed some light? Did you regret choosing the wrong major in college or wrong career? Of course money is not everything, but I think it’s hu
- vote Do you feel happier living in the Bay Area? I have seen many posts on Blind people stating they are extremely unhappier in the Bay Area. This can very well be a volunteer bias (people who are sad will post more I guess including me). Personally I had a really bad QOL in the Bay, regardless of weather, TC, working at G, etc. Anecdotally, also

- vote 500k TC with 5 YOE the norm on Blind nowadays? A couple of years ago when I was still in college, I remember setting a goal of reaching 350k TC by the time I hit 5 YOE based on the numbers I saw on Blind then. Now that I’m actually working I see so many people at Google with 400k+ TC with 2-3 YOE and 500k+ TC with 4-5 YOE, and most senior offers

- vote FAANG obsession I have worked at multiple FAANGs and non-FAANGs. They are just companies ffs. You can do interesting and boring stuff at either. I really don’t get why Blind is so obsessed with FAANGs and putting these companies up on a pedestal? Is it a real thing or are people just going with flow like the Alber

Also vice versa.
- From 100k to 260k .. thanks to blind for the motivation AMA Blind motivated me to prepare and try to get to the faangs, i’ve always thought Its hard to get into a faang but once I joined blind it made it much easier. I prepared for 2-3 months ( really slow about 1hr a day ) Did around 40-50 leetcode. Interviewed only for SDE 2 positions. Did like 5 interv
- Blind should stop letting us post our TCs Don’t you realize that seeing these high TCs makes some people feel bad? There’s clearly some mis/disinformation on here regarding TCs too. Blind should do something about it. It is their duty. I hope that some brave soul at Blind comes out and blows the whistle soon! TC: $7m ($5m base + 40% targ
- Some questions on how real are Amazon PIP stories Hello All, Sorry for the long post. Wanted to get some genuine feedback from Amazon folks especially managers. I have an offer to join Amazon.

The overall cost for a ~1300 Sq.ft apartment is around ₹2.3 Cr. Is buying an apartment at such a high cost a good idea? This would be my first house and I plan to live in that house with my parents
- Don’t let Blind TCs get you down, everyone is on a different journey. It can get overwhelming to read super high TCs from fellow peers on Blind. New grads out of college making 200k+ in their first year in LCOL cities can really weigh heavy on your mind if you don’t put it in perspective. My wife always reminds me “who are you comparing yourself to?” every time I com

- FANG India. How realistic are these FANG and high TC offers for people from Tier 3 colleges in India? I've been going through posts on Blind for a while and have seen crazy good India specific TCs and offers out there for SWEs of all experiences. Are all of these for people from Tier 1 institutes like IIT/NIT/BITS ? What percentage of this lot are from Tier 3 institutes? Or does college really not m

- vote Recent Grads and College Students, do you want WFH? All I see on Blind is adults who want WFH, but I'm really excited to work at an office/campus after I graduate. Online school quality makes me resent WFH. #hybrid #remotework #wfh #college #students #poll #remote #grads
- vote Will Google & FB resume new grad hiring in 2021? Based on Blind, it seems FB & G have been on a hiring freeze for new grads for a while. Is it likely that they resume hiring new grads in 2021 (i.e. for those graduating college & starting work in 2022)?

- vote [India] Is Rippling the best? Been reading a lot about Rippling on Blind. Looks like the TC they offer is more than any other competitor in all cases. Also, I am not only taking about the TC, but their rating on Blind is also great (everything except WLB is rated almost the same as Google/Facebook and the likes). Is Rippling th

- Can the job seekers please stop tagging companies in the post ? When you search in Blind about a specific company (to learn about their interview process, comp) all you see is a bunch of referral posts. To all the people seeking referrals , please stop having mass tags (#compa #compb) . Add your college, work experience , job description. That should help us ke

- Unable to land job outside Meta Joined 3 years ago as returning intern. Want out of Meta, don’t enjoy it anymore. TC took big hit with stock drop.
