So the US start up is expanding into the EMEA region and I’ll be coming in as the second senior SE on the ground and growing the business, I see this could be a good opportunity to further my career/ get promoted etc. But it’s definitely going to
- Signed at a new place, but another interesting opportunity is coming up First, I'm not from the US, I live in the Middle East. A few days ago I signed at a company which I was interested in working at for a while (Microsoft), I was pretty pleased with the offer and in general I'm looking forward to start already. "Problem" is that I got an online assessment from Amazo
- Does working full stack open up more opportunities than backend? I have two offers, one that advertises itself as a full stack position that pushes a lot of small features quickly, and one that makes the backend to a huge distributed system. Which helps my career the most?

Tech stack Golang, Python, Postgres, Docker, Angular. I have over-all 5 years of experience in product based companies. I would prefer a remote opportunity but if hybrid then based out of Hyd/Pune.

- At a new job, but an opportunity to make a career pivot came up. What to do? Took up an offer through a known friend / ex-coworker who is one of the cofounders at a Series A startup. They just raised their first funding and hired me as their first product manager (given my niche background relevant to their product). After putting in my resignation, my manager and I talked.

- I fucked up my tax. Advice needed Dear blind community, I need your help I joined DoorDash pre-IPO and I made a stupid mistake by not selling RSU when DoorDash IPO. I was taxed at $212 per share (25%, 1 year cliff) Now I owe a ton of tax I can’t even afford. I’ve been beating myself up for (1) not knowing I should better sell (all
- From 60k to 185k Just wanted to share my journey here: I started my first job after graduating from college last summer, and my initial compensation was 60k. This month, I got an offer to join another company and they offered me 185k, which is even more than what I asked for. This company is top-tier in the industr
- vote Would you join series D without prior FAANG experience? FAANG likely would have more cutting edge tech stack while Series D would have the opportunity for you to build the foundation from group up (but would be a catch up with lagged tech stack )
- What are the best companies for designers? In terms of culture, up leveling skills, leadership opportunities, and mentorship. Less concerned about compensation but job security is important to me. Basically I want to be treated as a human and not a cog. #design #ui/ux #productdesign
- vote Did I make a mistake? Over the summer, my wife and I had the opportunity to buy our dream home for $750k but ended up backing out because we didn't think it was affordable ($215k salary, $40k RSU, $255k TC). We were renting a condo at the time, and shortly after we backed away from the deal our landlord decided to sell
- San Francisco is heaven on earth I was stoned in the shower and had a realization about all those posts about SF being a shitty city and the fake-news exodus to shitholes in fucking Texas or whatever. If you're in software, nowhere else on the planet will give you the opportunity to be surrounded and learn from this insane amount
- Interested in working for pre IPO AI startup? DM me Sparkcognition is aggressively hiring across all disciplines. Checkout our career page and if you need referral DM me. TC is pretty moderate for Austin but imminent IPO could change that. Great WLB if anyone is looking for that. We are very aggressively looking to fill up Sr.Software engineer role.
- vote I’m being offered way too much money, what do I do Work is taxing on my mental health, it is extremely hard to see an opportunity and not drop everything to take it. I end up working 60-70 hours/week to chase promotions when I should be enjoying my life. I made the decision to pursue smaller opportunities and relax, take some vacations etc. I have
- vote Would wearing teeth braces affect my career? I'm 28 and thinking about getting my teeth straightened. Growing up poor i never had the opportunity or money to do it. My biggest concern is that it will make me look stupid and not taken seriously at work. My job requires meeting with customers from time to time, and im starting to take on manage

- AWS people, is it really as bad as they say? Expecting offer at AWS for L6. Team is growing rapidly but I’ve heard too many horror stories about PIP and awful WLB. Are PIPs really that common? How much learning/ramp up time will I have? Is the on call schedule as painful as they say? Are the work and learning/growth opportunities as good? O

- vote timed software coding interview are horrible Imagine being a super great car driver Or an F1 driver. Then showing up for an interview and you’re being tested on a tiny kid’s 12v toy car. This is how software coding interview is. You’re a high performing coder using a nice IDE. In a coding interview, not only are you timed, you’re asked to code

- Leaving American tech to go work in Japan. Has anyone else done it? Yes, I speak some Japanese; I’ll be picking up classes again over there. Yes, it’s a huge paycut (50% down from JPY to USD). Yes, I won’t have the same opportunities there as in America. But for what you sacrifice, you gain safer communities, better transit, a less sectarian government, more afford
- vote Is engineering manager a dead end career path? I mean there are exceptions but here is my thought process: It’s a pyramid as you up. Fewer opportunities are further limited by promoting from within. So if you lose you job as an EM you could be looking at a long wait for the next gig. Tech skills waste away to the point of becoming a jargon s
- In Defense of Leetcode Interviews Before you start hating, I'm not a fan of Leetcode interviews but I don't think it's entirely bad (for candidates). Here's why: 1. It opens up opportunities regardless of background. In many other high paying careers (wink wink Finance), good luck coming from a no-name school/company and joining a
- Pre-ipo companies to join Staff level web developer here, focus on front end. Would like to explore opportunities in the start up world, can you binders recommend some good companies?
- What are some “good” companies that have lowered their hiring standards over the years? Due to so many other more prestigious companies coming about, people doing FIRE, etc that they have to consider lowering their hiring standards to keep up with the number of people leaving for better opportunities #tech #swe
- AWS VS Google Cloud and Azure Given that somebody don't mind the bad wlb and they are hyper motivated to work hard and climb the career ladder no matter what, tell me why that person should choose Google Cloud or Azure over AWS? AWS is miles ahead when it comes to cloud services and it is unlikely that either google or microsoft

- vote Waiting for real estate plateau to start and end? Probably going to be years if not an entire decade of flat or negative housing returns once interest rates start going up. Would be a horribly expensive in opportunity cost to have money tied up by real estate then. I think it’s smarter to let this boom fizzle out and then wait out the entire plate
- vote How much would you give up in TC for fully remote work? Assuming the same city/scope/WLB, up to how much in TC would you compromise to have a fully remote work? For example, would you take Square's 450k TC (full remote in SF) over Amazon's 480k (Hybrid in SF), compromising 30k for the full remote opportunity? Blind tax: 430k (8 yoe) #hybrid #remotewor
- The real reason home prices are insane Incomes have moved up so fast and people are making a shit ton of money without any sense of what it takes to actually make that much doing anything else. So they pay thinking that money grows on trees. It’s not always this way regardless of who you think you are or what you do. Once capital mar
- Moving on after fucking up I was in a really good spot as a quant trader and had a good opportunity. For various reasons, my performance was bad, and I was understandably let go. In a new job now and doing fine, but only fine. Pretty plausible that if I hadn’t been a screw up I’d be making 3x my current TC, with room to grow

Lots of learning about ways to get ahead in general, from getting more out of current company to finding new opportunities externally, to really
- Get out of FAANG and boost you career Title pretty much sums up it all. FAANG companies were the dream companies of the 2000s / 2010s and were very fast growing with exciting career opportunities, bringing many innovations to the world. As they became huge companies they have become the equivalent of past corporate companies, with emp

The letter mentions that I “will be granted the opportunity to purchase up to 1,875 shares of Common Stock…at the FMV of the Company’s Common Stock as determined by the Board” 1. I was verbally told by the recruiter that the current value per share/preferred

I always jumped ships with significant pay increases but to the same levels. But for the first time, I moved one step up the ladder and I now got direct reports. This scares the shit out of me. I can’
- Benefits of joining Google I am seriously considering to interview for Google in the near future and was weighing up pros and cons about the same. Google lowballs + downlevels (particularly if you mess up interviews) and needs you in office at least 3 days in a week. So was the pros really apart from the fanboy stuff (whose e
