This is my first time working in tech companies. I used to work at non tech like banks before. Are tech companies just bad at managing expenses and doing forecasts? I feel like tech is going up in flames before my eyes. At banks, engineers were cost center and headcount allocation was way more con...Read more
I just booked my trip to San Jose/Sunnyvale with Amazon’s travel system and it said my max budget for hotels literally leaves me in a fucking motel off the freeway. I get it, frugality and all, but at least spring for the fucking holiday inn or something. God I hate this company sometimes.

I want to take a product strategy class through reforge or one of these other career growth programs, but they are expensive ($3k to $7k). I need explicit approval at Microsoft to qualify - do other companies offer an education or personal growth budget? Wondering if anyone has had success with reim...Read more
I hear a lot of different opinions on this. Most people say around labor day, but they aren't very specific. The day after labor day? The week after labor day? When is truly the best time to send out applications, if you are aiming for a reach? #swe #techcareer #interviewing #softwareengineersa...Read more
Does each product team go through different committees to show what they plan to do the next year on? Is budget allocated to a specific project?
Hello fellow devs! I'm curious about the investment companies are making in marketing their dev tools, especially at the top of the funnel (meaning new users).
