I know blind complains about pay a lot, but isn’t it more financially sound for a company to retain employees? Assuming $150k salary, if someone leaves they: 1. Leave with all institutional knowledge. Probably at least 1 year of knowledge. 2. Takes 3 months to hire replacement 3. Takes 3 months to...Read more

The title is pretty clear. Throw in your thoughts. Having the best school for kids at the closest proximity to work saves a lot of time for employees and attracts prospective employees.

This is largely due to our impact driven culture in which only high impact deliverables are rewarded and addressing technical debt or p...Read more
Let’s say you’re an IC whose job is to write code and fix bugs. What is the incentive for providing your company ideas worth potentially tens of millions of dollars, when your comp will stay virtually the same whether the idea is implemented or not? I’m just trying to understand what goes on in a ...Read more

Hey all, I had exercised some ISO at a startup that went belly up. Do you know how to claim these on taxes ? I couldn't find any literature if this is a bad business expense. Basically I never had a chance to sell them and they were worth 0 at the end. Thanks in advance
I know all that amazon gives is bananas for taking interviews. Curious to know if it is same across all other major tech companies as well

This applies especially to large enterprise projects where there are lots of moving parts, and lots of business logic to learn. You are brought on a team, and you are told that there is a lot of load currently on the lead, and ideally, you will be helping alleviate some of that load off the lead. T...Read more
I want to know what the actual compensation is, career progress, work life balance
Can we please stop calling it “The Great Resignation”? People are tired. Companies are still trying to return to pre-pandemic practices that weren’t even working prior to 2020.
