Hey everyone I have worked at Google Microsoft and now DoorDash. I feel G and M are too slow for me and DD is too fast (don’t like so much of a hacky culture just pushing features out without testing) Anyone have any suggestions on companies which lie in the middle of the spectrum? Thanks Tc: 370k...Read more
L5 here. I see no path to Staff or better. Not unless I get really lucky for a solid 2 years and Lyft gets it $h1t together. I really don't want to be a manager. I am on the spectrum and the entire concept of social @$$ kissing irritates me. What to do? Lateral to PM? Be a code monkey for eternity...Read more

Hey. I’ve seen a lot of people treating it as a given that Meta stock will go back up. Am I the only one who this is not obvious to? I see popularity of FB/Insta declining every month with ppl my age. Can anyone actually say what the plan is to get users to spend more time on the platform? Nobody ha...Read more
Everyone compares Microsoft refreshers to other FAANG refreshers. That's unfair. I may be on the upper end of the spectrum at msft, but I am not a rock star. I consistently get 140% rewards, where 100% is target and 200% is max. If you work hard, 140 is guaranteed at MSFT, albeit a bad manager. Her...Read more

Just curious how people manage their money when you are not married and have no serious obligations (family healthy and independent). I’ve heard folks in different spectrums who are all in on crypto or all in on real estate with a mortgage. I have close to 400k allocatable cash including financial...Read more

FB approached about a bunch of IC PM roles that did seem interesting but the recruiter kept insisting I only qualify for the IC5 level which, from what I see, even at the higher end in London could amount to 100ish gbp salary, 15% bonus, 100k usd ...Read more
Waiting for the post- holiday party to start, might as well write a post. Amazon has been good to me. Learned a lot in two years, and got promoted 1 year in. Met awesome people, had unlimited booze access, and watched a ridiculous amount of YouTube and twitch at my desk. In many ways, AMZN re...Read more

Hi Blind Community! I'm trying to pick between some companies and I would love some input. Here's some context: I'm from a MCOL area, went to a school that you pry never heard of, and worked at non-tech companies that you pry never heard of. I'm attempting to getting into the tech industry and I'm v...Read more
