Quit
- Quitting Google Joined 2 years back L5 @ 370k. Stock appreciated + stacked refresher, TC is now ~650k (13 YOE, Bay area). Quitting because feel down-leveled. Scope of work has not much impact. No promotion in sight in the next 2 years. Team is good, but lot of work. Don't want to change teams. Got offers from Mic
- vote Quit Apple for family. I currently work in Seattle for Apple but recently they have asked me to move down to bay area office by September. My parents don't want me to move because they want a son around to take care of them. My mom had a heart transplant a couple years back and is now doing excellent. But she lives in co
- Quite surprised with after hours pop @Meta ? #metaverse Quite surprised with overreaction and unexpected pop after hours? Here’s why you shouldn’t hop on the bandwagon just yet: 1. Total revenue grew from 26.1B to 27.9 B (+7%) but Operational expenses increased by 31% 2. Income from operations decreased by 8% 3. Net income decreased. 4. Reality labs
- vote Why haven't you quit? It appears that TC for senior level SWE new hires have gone up 20-30% in the past year. (If you're entry level, never mind.) That's serious FOMO territory here. That is the kind of increase that you won't see with a typical merit pay increase (mine is already cancelled out by the US inflation rate).
- Ideas to quit the rat race I lost all my energy, I find working in tech way too draining, and I survived as much as I could. I see people around me being super competitive, highly motivated to do well and genuinely caring about the work, promotions and status. Junior folks with so much hunger that they’d eat me for lunch, des
- Can I quit my job at Meta after two weeks? Title says it all. Workplace is like slack on steroids. I’ve already been given work that has deadlines, I don’t even understand what I’m doing yet. Manager keeps talking about “impact” and how IC5 is a pretty senior role and seems to be hinting at starting to perform. My anxiety is through the roof

- Quit to leetcode I'm thinking 2weeks to take a break (travel) and take 2-3months to leetcode and start interviewing. Would the gap indicate a red flag to the hiring companies including small to large corporate? Reason why I want to quit to leetcode is I'm getting bullied at my current company. I tried all my option
- I rage quit at Microsoft. Can anyone tell me if I'm blacklisted? I'm genuinely just curious. I got screwed over and made a decision, I'm just genuinely curious. Microsoft TC was 150. Current TC is 250. I got gaslighted by my manager and team for 6 months after an investigation where I was proven innocent. So, I said fuck it, took all my sick and vacation time,
- After two weeks notice (Quitting?) I had a one-on-one with my manager to tell him I would quit after two weeks. Also, I sent an email to my manager and HR person to notify the termination of my employment. Should I get anything to do? If they don't accept the resignation, what shall I do? Can I quit after two weeks? #hrissues
