- Please explain crypto/blockchain benefit to me Not being sarcastic. I just want to understand how crypto/web3 is the new internet because I don’t get it: 1. Blockchain technology. I get the transparency aspect. But the transaction run time/resource seems cumbersome for real life purchases? Roblox has a virtual currency without using blockchain
- How to fix Edge! I keep seeing a trend where Edge keeps coming up as one of the worst products Microsoft has made. Instead of piling on, here is what I think JoeB should do. 1. Fire all but the 10 best engineers (1 PM, 7 Devs, 2 UI/UX) on the team who understand customers, agile development, and how to build cross-
- Hiring Manager said "If I could change one thing it would be to stop hiring" during interview TLDR - Had to chase down Coinbase recruiter on LinkedIn to get next steps after positive intro call. Hiring manager cut presentation short because "has everything shes needs... and just a gatekeeper". After asking one thing she'd change - she expressed "it would be to stop hiring". Had pretty poor
- Hey Jack. Are you here? Heyo, Jack. Are you listening? I used to be an admirer, but haven't been so much lately. As much as I love working at Twitter, the stock prices aren't doing any better. And chasing some irrelevant DAU and small metric movements isn't getting us anywhere. My PM if frustrated by how incompetent the
- Hard work/Smart work is overrated in tech The great apes – gorillas, chimpanzees, bonabos, orangutans – live lazy lives. They typically spend eight to 10 hours a day resting, eating and grooming and then sleep at night for nine to 10 hours. Chimpanzees walk only about 4km a day, gorillas less. Male lions spend 18 to 20 hours a day snoozing
- Amazon The scale and innovative products of AWS keep me amazed. But so many bad reviews about this company. But why? Right now having a semi chilled life. And I have two options - either move to fast and dynamic world in the companies like Amazon/Facebook that I admire or move back to a more peaceful life
- vote Amazon PM-T down leveled from L6 to L5 - Evaluate my offer - Also sharing my experience. I interviewed with Amazon for the L6 PM-T role but was down-leveled to L5. The interview went well, the recruiter told me that I did good and mostly had a hire decision 4 v 2 for L6 and all hire for L5, so they decided to down-level me. I have 7 years of experience 5 in strategy analytics and the
- Feel like I’m missing something I’m a software developer at JPMC and honestly, I feel like I’m missing something. My manager doesnt like me even though I’m a “top contributor” and have gotten numerous awards at the firm. I’ve never had a manager where I feel like they’re out to get me fired. I’m a question person so I think he mis
- Right time for job switch? Hey, folks! Looking for general advice. Have recently transitioned into PM from Dev (completing 1 yr of exp in PM). Just went through latest appraisal cycle and not satisfied with the result. Manager great, team is great, work is also really good, but pay is way too shitty. Long term plan is to set
- Feeling pretty despondent I use to think working in a Bay Area tech company would be fun and productive. But three years here and all I find are big egos, unqualified and pompous and highly paid upper management . Every one is out for each other’s throats every single day. You keep chasing the mirage of having a stable settl
- Disappointed with Uber Engineering Culture of a pirate ship. Stock goes down - lets fire the execs, they all suck, our product is shit, etc! Stock goes up - we are going to the moon, all is great, we are crushing it! There are lots of over-leveled engineers due to poor hiring pipelines and promo mismanagement. Good work ethic is rar
- Performance marketing vs account strategy (sales) I would like to work at FAANG. A friend wants to refer me to FAANG for an ads strategy/sales rep role serving smaller companies. However, I just started a role as a non FTE for FAANG in an area I’m more interested in. I don’t think I want to work in a sales role. I don’t want to chase down clients
- Truly need career advice to move to Tech Plainly, I’m miserable in the banking industry. I’m an Investment Product Manager, so we have very limited tech/software exposure. I am in a unique position that allows me to work with project managers, program managers, and developers, but nothing close to the responsibilities of a tech PM. I am a

- Senior/Principal PM Referrals for Bangalore/India/Remote Hello everyone! Thanks to starting my first job in a service tech industry, along with local hiring policies that ask for your current TC before dispatching an offer, and to most parts my naïve belief that hard work follows pay irrespective of where you are, I am at a place in life where I look up

- vote FAANG employees are you assigned work by your manager or team? I have been fortunate enough throughout most of my career to work in teams where the manager does not assign me any work, or even knows what the hell I'm working on for the most part.

- With great TC comes great responsibility People who say they increased their TC multiple times in last 1-2 years, sometimes stop at that and don’t mention what changed in terms of work, in terms of WLB, what changed in their personal life with that TC.
