You will learn life skills with veteran microsoft politicians. It will help you to become better leader in future. Better join politics after this.
Less stocks and stupid level system. Less growth after principal.
1. Bunch of liberal arts majors getting hired as PMs fresh off college, who can't even fucking run a simple script. These arts majors dipshits delegate everything to engineering teams who pick up the paltry work the dipshits were hired to do. Overhiring leads to deflated wages and higher layoffs. 2...Read more
The smart way to keep people passive and obedient is to strictly limit the spectrum of acceptable opinion, but allow very lively debate within that spectrum. That gives people the sense that there's free thinking going on, while all the time the presuppositions of the system are being reinforced by ...Read more
People in the tech world should know that this is the raw reality of Microsoft. A few days ago, I glimpsed one of the most hateful individuals I have ever encountered in my life....during her lunch...probably spreading more hate in her wake. Some time ago, the horrific behavior of this person and he...Read more
To Satya and the senior leadership - when you choose to retain the clowns and bullies who took over by backstabbing lies, intended malice and gender-hatred into the company, it does not make them leaders (as since 2019 are all unearned, not on merit roles) - it just makes the company a circus. Is p...Read more
Could someone please explain to me the differences among these roles - Microsoft Director of Engineering vs Senior Director of Engineering vs Principal Group Engineering Manager vs Partner Engineering Manager?
This is super funny. RBC had an “innovation” summit with Noelle Walsh, Val Walsh (not sure if they are family!!!), and Jennifer Weitzel. This was in Chicago - never mind that people can’t travel for their jobs at MSFT - but CVPs can travel business class between Boston and Chicago - but I digress....Read more
I have data engineering leadership interview coming up with Microsoft, appreciate any input and help towards preparation. I learned that Microsoft doesn't have a different job role for data engineering (I think it is bundled under SWE), I am assuming the interview process may still be focused on dat...Read more
Very soon we all r screwed. Specially Microsoft where 40% are rest and vest/ Coasting. We do code reviews now but Musk taking this to another level. Musk ordered employees to email him a summary of what their software code has “achieved” in the past six months, “along with up to 10 screenshots of t...Read more
I have been seeing Microsoft titles go from Engineering Manager to Group Engineering Manager to Director of Engineering. From looking at LinkedIn, people seem to be using these titles interchangeably. Specifically, how does a L67 Principal Group Engineering Manager title differ from a Principal Eng...Read more
What is the Microsoft's version of Amazon's leadership principles?
Currently M2 at meta. Was L7 at Amazon for many years before. I’m happy at meta but also itching to work for Microsoft if the right opportunity was there. I know it’s a long shot but are there any senior Microsoft leaders on here that are hiring a leader of leaders and opening to talking?
Agree? If you agree you’ll also have to agree that Sundar Pichai couldn’t even do this 😂
Very few job postings at Meta point to leadership positions. I currently lead a team of 50 engineers, looking for same at Meta or ideally a bump in organization size. How can I find such opportunities? Only via recruiters? If via recruiters, does anyone have any pointers on landing a leadership r...Read more
Curious to know if/how AWS and GCP view candidates with 10+ yoe selling enterprise software and Cloud at MS--successful both as an IC and sales leader? What are the biggest perceived Strengths and concerns?
I recently received a ppt circulating in Microsoft titled "Women in work place." (PFA). It was primarily focused on How diversity representation is less on leadership level in comparison to Males. And that is something WRONG and needs correction by achieving equal representation of black, asian, lg...Read more
I know Google allows "WFA" for fixed number of days each year. How can I make the SLT aware of this request ? #hybrid #remotework
FB will be larger next month What a great leadership #facebook #microsoft #google #apple
Elon made a power move and fired Parag as soon as he took over Twitter. Given how Google currently lacks vision, focus, and execution on its strategic roadmap, Sundar is no different than Ballmer who drove Microsoft to ground until daddy Satya took over. Given the opportunity, would you fire Sunda...Read more
Heard some news today that msft leadership is thinking of cutting a bunch of engineering manager roles and possibly eliminating PM and PgM job category. Changes to roll out soon. Anyone else heard something like this?
Is Microsoft a good place for designers? Do you think they are placed equally as other engineering or PM counterparts? No senior leadership talks about design, no one in senior leadership is from design background. Do you think Microsoft is design driven in any product?
