- List of gem 💎 companies Not super well known (the likes of FANG) Great WLB (<= 40h, no or low on call). Good culture, no stack ranking, nice people, family friendly. Ok salary, enough to live but not for the TC chasers. I’ve heard good things about Expedia, Salesforce, ServiceNow, etc. Can you share your gem company?
- Strange interview experience This has been bothering me for a while, thought I’d share it here. I was reached out by a recruiter from an early stage crypto startup - GM role for a region. I went through the process - screening > round with hiring manager > exercise (apparently they loved the deck I made) > next 2 rounds

I’m coming from a not-so-rich European country, so UK salaries are way better than what I was previously used to. I am still working, so I am unsure if I’m go
- Quitting a new job after 2 months I recently began my first “real” job out of college, and it has been by far my worst work experience. I work at a small IT company, directly under the CEO who is contantly critical, micro manager and known throughout the office as hard to work with. Two weeks into the role I knew that it was not the

- FAANG "Diversity" hiring programs for people with disabilities: what's the scoop? So a FAANG company that I'd _love_ to work for is advertising on Glassdoor for disabled people to apply to work for them. This is in Japan where a new government initiative requires companies of a certain size to have a percentage (I think it's 2.2%) of employees with disabilities, or face fines. I

- vote Thoughts on PAX Labs and cannabis? I'm weighing some offers - mostly from boring, run-of-the-mill tech companies. But one from PAX. I was excited at first.

- Bootcamp instructor role I've been invited to instruct a Trilogy Bootcamp at a local university. They say it's part time and I can keep my job, but they're cagey about both hours and pay.
