It's true that the talent at Amazon is far lower than Google or FB or trading companies etc (nobody turns down Airbnb for Amazon) but in terms of customer improvements/products it seems like Amazon is doing a lot more. Google has uniformly brilliant engineering Ubermensches but cant even make a soli...Read more

And there were comments saying that academia is OP’s comfort zone, but he is not solving real problems there. Spent like 20min trying to find this, I know it’s super unlikely but does anyone remember it and has a link?
Between virtue signaling on LinkedIn, complaining in Blind, and whining at the beginning and the end of every meeting, it looks like a large group of techies and mainly Googlers forgot why the paychecks arrive: WORK! I'm not suggesting RTO. On the contrary: getting a bunch of complainers together i...Read more
During the dotcom bust plenty of my coworkers (at various companies) left tech entirely. Law school, dental school, nursing, etc. In total, maybe 40% of the people I ever worked with left. The percentage was substantially higher for certain job roles. e.g. probably closer to 80% for QAs & DBAs. Now...Read more
If the gaming industry is so profitable, then why do gaming companies pay less compared to the rest of the software industry? FYI: I’m not complaining about my pay. Roblox pay is pretty good, but it’s not a gaming company either. I’m just curious to know on what basis do gaming companies justify l...Read more
Is Marshall Wace a good company for a software engineer? Any reviews/complains? Had to find info about TC/WLB in London. TC 105k, YOE 5
I was chatting with my school friend who is a Gynaecologist (she lives in Varanasi with her joint family). She was complaining that she has to work even during weekends, but she's ok as money is good. I asked her, the money she makes in one year. She said, about 100L. Now I've a lot of questions on...Read more
Don't believe haters. I'm sure some in bad teams having a bad time, but those having a bad time are much more likely to be vocal and complain. I work 40 hours a week and have done so for past 3 years. Pay is amazing. My thoughts on Amazon negativity: Lots of people at Amazon complain over trivial ...Read more
How are these guys still complaining about how woke the tech industry is when they haven’t been able to get a job at any of the companies?
Just saw a post about TikTok, complaining that it was all Chinese. Saw another post about a team being all Indian + Indians managers (from an Indian). Also see constant complaining about companies with diversity quotas (which prevents above). #misc
When I joined a few years ago, this was the best place to learn about interviewing, negotiation, TC, company culture, promos, career goals, etc. It was toxic but in a "TC or GTFO" kind of way. Now every other post is about Rajesh, how to date X women, "woke"/DEI, or complaining. Within the past yea...Read more
I am a girl with a “diverse” background and even with 3 years of experience, I struggle to get call backs. According to Blind I should be getting lots of LC easy interviews!!! Can y’all who complain about “diversity hires” please send me a referral or post here? 🥺 … I am curious about these “dive...Read more
Notice how quiet and nonchalant they are when others are hiring and firing. No one there complains about the CEO. Things keep moving along. What a cool company.
Hello everyone, this is a warning post to make you aware of the toxic culture that exists in ByteDance/TikTok. Our company is unquestionably on its way to becoming one of the worst places to work. The sad part is that every issue here could have been prevented, but the leadership simply fails. The ...Read more
My company specific blind is just people complaining about C level execs— like this exec said this or that exec did xyz… or people complaining about some aspect of the company. Are all other company blinds this bad ? Is this app creating a toxic atmosphere ?
All those people complaining about H1b visas and immigrants taking your jobs, this is about to get much worse. Companies realized they can hire more people for same money and pandemic showed that location doesn’t matter. I know it is not going to be sudden but it will happen. Harder it gets to hir...Read more
He immediately jumps into action mode suggesting why am I not switching companies. If I am complaining about my manager, sometimes he tries to ask me details without immediately siding with me first. In my mind, he should immediately take my side without trying to ‘analyze’ the situation or be logic...Read more
