But this offer is unacceptably low given level 5 at a lot of companies is near 500 now. It’s also less than what I make now as a T5. I haven’

- Is Google the only company with good pay + WLB? It seems like Facebook, Amazon and Uber can be put in the same bucket as they're all stressful places (Amazon is probably more noisy due to lower hiring bar and more people struggling to perform, and bigger size thus more people complaining). Then there are startups which can be good but there's a
