- Want to talk to gig-company PMs! heyyo, graduating senior who's always been in love with the mission of ride-share/gig companies (yes I know how the economy is but I'm too young to not be optimistic) anyways, I'm looking to learn more about what life at a company like lyft or uber is like; it sounds like it's grueling and rewardin
- $1M Net Worth!! Finally hit the $1M net worth milestone! Celebrate with me! :D Age: 28 YOE: 5 TC: $300k EDIT: Copy pasting my approximate asset allocation and some of my financial strategies below. No Crypto. All my sign on RSUs are fully vested at this point, but with new stock awards, I am vesting $100k+/year
- Multiple Referrals I wanted to ask a question - Multiple people I know well want to refer me to the same company (Google). If multiple people refer me, who gets the rewards, and do the later referrals (after the first) count for anything? Would it give me a boost in the interviewing phase? Thanks!
- Most incredible companies to work for? Which company would you target for your next role and why? I am looking for a change and trying to create my target list. Looking for following 1. Best for overall financial returns, massively growing companies. 2. Best for career growth/personal brand. 3. Best culture, benefits, rewards and pro
- Good time to join Abnormal Security? E5 at Meta, thinking about trying for ML eng at Abnormal. For someone who has never worked at early stage startup, I’m trying to understand the pros and cons of leaving Meta RSUs to join Abnormal or a similar stage company that gives ISOs. If anyone in Abnormal from a public trading company woul
- Companies service awards Microsoft gives out these service award crystal after certain amount of years (5,10,20..). I think they give some petty cash too. Amazon id cards change colors depending on the amount of years. So what do other companies give out? I know its not important, but curious. Besides stock awards, what el
- vote Wastage through PIP I've previously worked at small companies and built small teams, including inheriting employees and also hiring from scratch. Small town USA, young kids from no-name schools. Dedicated and smart, develop and refine over time. Surely my experience is not unique. Given this context, enforced PIPs imp
- Zillow vs Credit Karma I have offers from both the companies for backend engineer - both have same TC. Help me choose! Zillow - friendly team - high impact project - public company - latest tech stack - deploying ML models + feature generation for internal customers - good sign-on credit karma: - not a public company y
- Which company has the Product Design team? I’ve been a top performer (top reward & multiple promotion within a year) in my current team and has been advocating design process and effectively working with engineers and PMs. I’m looking for new opportunities outside of Microsoft. What company has the best/mature product design team and culture
- vote How much lower can your income be until you start your own thing rather than working? We calculate the risk vs reward in our head, and then due to inertia we never really get out of working class. As a worker, you get paid less than what you make for the company. That's how a company is able to pay you. Since you are underpaid in comparison to the value you create, how low can a pay
- Friend has 600k TC and cannot solve any LC I have a friend at a AANG with 4 yoe and TC 600k They interned at the company and didn’t need to solve any LC to get the internship. They started at around 140k TC and have been a top performer every year and gotten large raises and refresher every 6 months for 4 years. Now they are at 600k TC and

The selections are: - Azure Lab Services - Visual Studio SAAS - Azure SDK What I am looking for are: - Impact (Business/Company or Developer) - Growth (The need for more senior role) - High technical challenge. - WLB (Le
- What’s the internal transfer like in FAANG Internal team transfer and job family change in Amazon is very common, even encouraged, this has given me chances to learn different businesses, and rewarded my learnings and improvement in different skillset. I wonder what it is like in other companies, particularly intereted in Fb cus im currently
- Which companies allow you to choose your comp allocation? Netflix gives you a target TC number and lets you choose your cash vs. NFLX stock options mix (adjust your slider from 100% cash to 100% options as well as anything in between). Spotify gives you an incentive mix where you can choose cash, RSUs, ATM options, or OTM options for some, but not all, of
- What makes a good leader? Every company under the sun today boasts about promoting leaders. How do you define and measure leadership? What makes a good leader? My boss is a leader, he 'leads' us and we still do whatever the fk we decide and want to do. He gets rewarded like a leader. How can I become a leader and get a slice
- Hate on FAANG Recruiters. Hey guys, Lately I have been seeing a lot of hate on various forums on recruiters. Call me naive but I thought working as a recruiter was one of the most rewarding careers. For context: I have been working as a recruiter for last 6 years and often considered my career to be very rewarding. From l
- Do Not Join Stripe! If you are interviewing at Stripe - stop the process. If you have an offer from Stripe, leverage it to other offers, but do not accept. You have been warned: - forced 15% Partially Meets Expectations quota (Needs Improvement equivalent) - PiP Fodder - New joiners 2-3 months in are getting PME’d an
- link Ask me anything about Google’s interview life-cycle, work and culture. 15+ years of engineering and leadership experience in the industry, most recently at Google across multiple teams. I have domain expertise in machine learning and large scale distributed systems applied to ranking and personalization problems. During this AMA, I can help shed light on the life-cycle
- Microsoft 61 to E5 How difficult will it be to perform at E5 ? I feel under levelled and not challenged enough at my current role. Worked at startup+ big tech so i think im used to the speed of execution at a company like Facebook. What do you think ? Should i even attempt E5 or just get an E4 and try promo ? Why
- Thoughts on Nuro for new grad Currently have two new grad offers from Nuro and Lyft L5 (returning intern) Nuro's cash portion of comp is higher then Lyft, but it is private and Lyft offers ridiculous amount of stock. Anyone have any thoughts on Nuro in terms of work culture, eng teams, etc. Is it worth taking the risk to join
- Which company is it? Capable people left and everything is politics. People are rewarded for stealing other people’s results and there is no word called “business” in this company. People are promoted simply because other people “say” they did a good job, which could be totally political or corrupted based on their simi
- My bonus this year was a box with a doily in it Recently joined a new startup. The CEO is super energized and friendly. He keeps telling us it’s all about merit. Big rewards. This is why I joined in the first place. So been in the new company about 6 months. Was told we’d be getting a bonus. Didn’t hear much about it. Got home on Friday and ther
- What do you like and dislike about your performance review process? I do not think intuit does a very good job. There are a lot of opinion based decisions or rewards for style over data and outcomes for example. Rather than complain I want to put a proposal together for improving it. What do you like best and hate most about perf review at your company? What do yo
- Oracle Public Cloud Got an offer as an IC3 but was wondering how the yearly performance rewards work. What can I expect as far as stock grants, bonus, and merit increases if performing well? I've heard the bonus is the same company wide? Just trying to figure out if my on hire bonus and stock grants are going to be a
- vote Reward Needed to Join Startup? Not a thread about never assume stock is worthless, or more experience gained from working at startup. Purely about risk/reward needed to join if successful exit. For those who are/were already well paid and in good companies (post IPO, or all cash comp). If you joined a startup to ONLY make more m
- Any Moveworks employees? Please offer details I'm interested in interviewing with Moveworks (as MLE) and few other startups since I'm bored with low risk/reward job at Google (as MLE). I'd like to know the following about Moveworks since I'm not able to get the overall sentiment of the company, TC, WLB, etc from other posts. So, I'm creating th

- Looking for referrals in various companies Had a bad rewards session, even after good connects and was told today after a small vacation that im getting IR. Manager gave timelines to start lookingg elsewhere. tried negotitating but he says nothing is in his hands. Any advice as to how do I prep in small time are welcome. Any referrals to an
- LC Culture Is Stupid to start, I've always been a good performer (140%-180%) rewards. but when it comes to applying to companies like google and facebook, I feel so discouraged to interview because I think solving a 100 LC hards to prepare is just a waste of time and doesn't represent how good you are at all. like I g
- Pros and cons of joining series D startup I'm looking at the possibility of joining Fintech company Greenlight. The company has raised $260 million Series D funding with a valuation of $2.3 billion and appears to be looking to IPO in the next year or so. I don't have an offer for comparison yet. Obviously the risk reward for joining now is
- Invasive over board contracts (NDAs) I have not worked as an employee for many years because I have been a contractor. Rightfully so, the large company I am working for with well-known client brands is cracking down on their security protocols. Their contract is super overly broad and invasive. My gauge for how normal and acceptable t
- Stupid to quit 3 months away from next vesting? I wanted to quit after rewards but as it happens my start date for new job got pushed to early January which is less than 3 months from my next RSU vesting. I am expecting 45k this vest and will lose it all, my sign on for next job will be slightly less than that.. Is this a stupid move? Should I as
- Should I consider Plaid or other late stage startups? Current TC: ~200k (base + profit %) Any suggestions on startups that deal with integration platforms (Plaid, Zapier, Stripe, ...) that would pay better than my current TC? I'm worried any companies I talk to will be a lower base but make up the difference with pre-IPO RSUs that won't mature for ye
- vote Stay at startup or look elsewhere? Series A atm and onboarding a bunch of big enterprises (ML space, B2B SaaS platform). Seems to be going okay overall, great people, users seem to like the product. Got slightly shafted on equity due to low xp, so I'm only vesting ~0.5% worth of post Series A equity even tho I joined at Seed (compan
- Transfer vested stocks between banks I am planning to move my company vested stocks from Charles Schwab to Chase YouInvest. Could I transfer the stocks without selling them(to avoid short term tax)? Are those rewarded stocks treated exactly the same as other stocks that I purchased in my brokage account? Or is there any restrictions? A
- how do you feel about no promo / same performace review for everyone because of covid 19? how do employees with companies that are giving same performance/rewards for everyone this year due to covid? facebook is giving EE to everyone and no promo until next half. goog doing no promo this year. at microsoft, we arent doing that this year but lots of other companies are doing it. not
- Why don’t employers demand performance reviews from past jobs? Seems like such an easy way to filter out all the low performers. There is no better way to assess a new potential hire from Amazon than looking at their forte. Leetcode skills mean 💩 Edit: I don’t think people understand what I’m saying. I’m saying that companies should use your entire performan
- Hot startup people! Have you fail G or F interview? Those can do hardest questions get the most rewards. That’s just natural. G and F are top tier companies have picky interviewing. Yet recently there are many startup people who made way more than the people in G and F with the same yoe, DoorDash, coinbase, you name it. So here is the question: are
- How much time it took you to prepare for a switch I am soon to approach cliff and will need to switch if I do not get good rewards this time. How many months did it take for you to prepare and switch to a tier A company? How many leet code questions did you do in a day? How many hours in a day do you dedicate to preparations? Yoe:7 I haven't done
- Stepping away from signed offer Recruiter friends, I had signed a fang offer just before covid-19 issue started. Understandably, the new company could not do in person joining during lockdown. Now looking at situation and the impact it can have on health, I think its better for me if I stay put and use the familiarity/ vacations
- vote Why kudos is good for company culture I dont understand why kudos is good for company culture. I feel kudos is a more of a corporate cringe rather than encouraging teamwork. If I receive help from John, I would feel obligated to send John kudos because everyone else sends kudos and I dont want to be the one that “does not appreciate”
- vote Transition from web design to product design I have a BS in design from a traditonal 4 year university, and I've spent the last 6 years (seriously) at an ecommerce company doing web design. Very experience-driven with lots of testing, iterating, and optimizing. And I've done a few more interactive projects in that time, which you could almost
- What is the fault of employees without kids? So many companies are canceling their mid-year perf/promo cycle because they think that employees with kids can not give their 100%. ---- Agreed. But then what about the employees without kids? they are working their ass off to compensate for the colleagues with kids, and yet they won't be rewarde
- RSU... are they given yearly? Hi everyone, So IBM doesn’t normally give RSUs out to non-execs... but I was lucky (or maybe rightfully earned) 100k in RSUs, so I got my first taste of the golden handcuffs. My question is... when people say 200k base and 500k RSU vesting over X years, does that mean they get 500k RSUs every year
- link Pre IPO startups are Overrated? 80% of the startups will fail to succeed in a lucrative manner, No IPO or acquisition.

- vote How easy/difficult it is to crack Google like company second time I recently was able to clear swe interviews for Microsoft, Amazon and Google. Google has been a dream company for me, but due to them not being ready to come anywhere close to Amazon offer I had to let them go. I am thinking that I will join Amazon and work for 3-4 years and unless its very reward
- MSFT to AMZN? Am I nuts for wanting to switch to Amazon from MS? Love the company, the people, I just hit target rewards, but ultimately the product I work on does not interest me so much. Amazon offer is higher and the product seems more interesting to me. Anyone ever work at both places? Is it really as bad as
- FANG vs Startup hedge in marriage Wondering if any married couples set up their careers where one person has the stable FANG job and the other takes on the risk (and reward) of the start up world. SO and I are considering this as a more established arrangement after both being at FANG-level or "close to IPO" companies. Any tips or t
- How much one can earn via outsourcing? Is it greater than salaries of big tech companies Software Engineer employees? Is it good idea to start an outsourcing business then to work in top companies in India? I am fed up with the manager's control in deciding your work, rewards, promo, and it seems to me a rat race. I think if big companies are offering this huge salary to SE, then in outsourcing business one will b
