Can’t think of any due to executive level leadership. It was once a great company that was culture and people driven. That has been gutted with 2 major layoffs in the last 4 years.
With recent 12k layoffs, have to do more with less. Incredibly stretch goals that are unattainable which makes me think they are using it to justify further layoffs. Recent change in RTO policy = 5 days a week.
how is the experience for people with ML backgrounds at startups such us convoy, outreach? does anyone have info on TC and interview experience? I have been contacted by these companies, but not sure if it is worth to pursue. I am mainly targetting G/FB. TC: 230k yoe: 10

I grew up in USA and I see so many posts about civil services like UPSC UPS Officer and movies like 12th fail or shows like Aspirants. In America government jobs are no where near as prestigious especially a police officer lol. Even though tech is supposed to be the big career in India, why so muc...Read more
Hope the extra money you make is worth the families you've ruined by derailing careers for thousands. Life isn't the same for most since over a year. Many took shitty jobs, and now are being questioned for hopping within a year; many are making less or no money. Please feel free to goof around with ...Read more

Very new in my career, didn’t receive this since I didn’t know to ask. What gets you a sign on bonus? How to negotiate it? Should you get this even from start-ups? How much should it be? Anything you can tell me about it would be helpful
I’m relative new in my career and I’m unsure what I need to talk to with my manager in my 1:1s. We have daily stand ups so he does know what I am working on on a daily basis. Also he keeps cancelling our 1:1s. I’m confused as to how to take charge of my career. And how to work towards a promotion. H...Read more
I see people around me who strongly align with stupid ideas/visions of higher ups. I am sure they realize the technical flaws but they still very disturbingly align. Is this a good strategy for career growth or will it fire back?

Would you leave your cushy corporate job to go to a start up?

We've all heard the: - network - show your face to the higher ups - grow your impact 🤮 - learn new languages and frameworks - just be 'nice' But what's some non trite career advice ...? Sick of this gayle/lamefluencer type advice
