- Can we rank the NIQABS companies N- nvidia I- intel Q- Qualcomm A- ARM B- Broadcom S-Samsung #hardware #semiconductor
- We can only say good things about the company in the company I found that if we say anything not good, they can say we are "unprofessional" and fire us. If I say good things, bright, and flower, rainbow, sunshine things, they welcome it with a smile. So how are they different from North Korea or Mainland China in terms of "You can only say we are good". #t
- Can we encash ($$) our remaining time-offs when we leave the company? I’m leaving my company in a couple of months and have about 18 days time-off remaining. I don’t know if we can encash the remaining time-offs or do we lose them if we don’t end up using them? Any ideas? Tc: 145k Moving to UNITY

- Questions for our dear friends at the We company. What can you tell us about what you're working on? How about ongoing engineering initiatives? How are you feeling about this IPO?
- How come I get the feeling we are like wolves, hopping from company to company? I look at my past coworkers -- it seems it is hopping among companies, and try to get the most money out of it... and one company attack another one, like a pack of wolves against another pack of wolves, or against another dinosaur. It is really wild and cruel, and I don't feel the intellectual "le
- Should we invest in the company you work for and why? As for Amazon, I'd say shorter term top is in but we'll find new footing with Jessy and within a couple years its going to find new ATHs Tc 255k
- If we are the author of a famous npm package, won't we automatically get invited to join a FAANG company? Say, if we are the author of protobuf.js, or react-spring, or redux-saga, won't we be quite likely to be invited to join a FAANG company, instead of us grinding the problems on LeetCode? #faang #interviews #opensource #leetcode

- Why do we need to file for PERM again at the new company? I’m on H1B & have an approved I-140 from my previous employer. What is the rationale to restart the PERM process when we join a new employer? My priority date is April 2019. TC: 200k
- Does it help if we mention we are currently working as a contractor with the same company that we are interviewing for? Hi, I joined a company last week as a contractor and am interviewing for the same company as a Full Time Employee for a different location. Does it help I should mention my contractor role or does it reduce any chances for not mentioning it.
- Can we stop with the hypocrisy? No profitable company can really do ethics research! Google, Facebook, Nvidia, Microsoft, and all the big tech out there exist for the sole purpose of MAKING PROFIT! They could not care less about ethics or how their transformer models are polluting the environment or how it is trained on biased data. They are not interested in hindering their profit
- When do you tell about other offers to the company you want to join? What details we share? Company Name? TC breakdown? Also, does it hurt to share before the interview or works in favor? TC: 160K #tech #swe #faang

Hi experts, Wondering is there a trustworthy place where we can sty tuned on the most recent stats (e.g., series investment, valuation, etc.) of pre-ipo companies? I know crunchbase, y combinator.

- While switching companies, can we get the H1B transfer approved and still work for the old company for 2 months? TC:120k #h1btransfer
- Can we stop complaining about the 5 under represented minorities at each tech company now? Just seems like an easy scapegoat for people to cowardly complain about, due to their absence to speak against. Seriously tired of seeing "diversity hire" complaint post (le irony). There's barely any to begin with, and the industry fucks them over way more. I'm pretty sure incompetency is found in

If my H1-b transfer to Twitter is approved by mid December, how long can I s
- Can we kick all the recruiting/salary/interview/referral/which-company stuff into a sub forum? So boring.
- Which is the next upcoming tech company that we can invest in early stages to make millions ? Any pointers??
- Let's list stereotypical reasons for why each big tech company is bad until we find the best one to work for --FAANG tier-- Facebook: Too political, disorganized, elitist Amazon: 'nuff said. Harsh culture of algorithmic stack ranking, long hours, low pay. Apple: Secrecy breeds siloed culture, top-down tyrannical, cheap about pay. Netflix: ? Don't they do stack-ranking but it's not as bad as in Amazon o
- vote Are we in peak bubble when a billion dollar company pitches some Sims crap as the greatest thing ever? Along with many other companies pivoting to other useless tech #crypto #metaverse #nft
- What are the benefits of promotion if we plan to switch company in 2-3 years anyway? Title. Plus is it okay to just focus on working hard to get into FANG - (or change to other companies down the line), and not care about promotion at current company (Or any company). I particularly just care about personal development and don’t give a crap about title, or a little bump in salary. A
- We quit the company in December and move to Washington state to sell the RSU in January, then no state income tax? Sadly, I did the opposite... I worked in WA state for a few years and come to CA to work and sold those stocks after coming down, and for no good reason I am paying all the tax in CA when those are really WA state income. #stock #capitalgain #taxes #rsu #options

- Why are we cool with salary cuts? I don't understand why we aren't pushing back on WFH-related salary cuts. Why does it matter to a FAANG company where I live? The value of labor is the value of labor. If you're producing at the same rate in Boise as you would in SF, why is that suddenly worth less? People have lived in Bay Area sub
- link We did it!! My wife and I started preparing for the interviews a couple of months back. We aimed to land jobs at the top tier companies.

- Bloomberg green card fees to payback can be HUGE, beware After over a decade at BBG moved to a new company this year.

He is not interested in anything else, even things related to his career but
- Rippling: please STOP So many things going on where to focus? End of the day feels like I barely did anything today. Really tight deadlines from business and tech leadership.
