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.
I got X amount of taxable relocation benefits this year. My employer (not the one tagged on blind) grossed it up. The gross up amount is Y (Y is pretty similar to X due to the tax bracket I'm in). Is Y, itself, taxable? I would owe $10k+ in taxes for Y if it is taxable.

I always wondered how equity provided by startups is taxed. Equity vested is illiquid, are you supposed to pay taxes on paper money which you can't sell in open market? What happens if the equity value goes down after you pay taxes (as it happened with many start ups in 2022-23)? this makes me wond...Read more
We need to implement that you have to do the same amount of push-ups as your TC every year. Aka if you earn 100k post tax you have to do 100k push-ups in a year to maintain that TC. If you only do 80k push-ups that year, you have 20k withheld until you do the amount. TC: 220k
For folks in start-ups, what are the tax implications when you decide to buy your vested ESOPs at a particular strike price (company decided).

During 1-on-1’s with your manger, what do you discuss? The ones with my manager are purely screen sharing progress reports and priorities (similar to stand ups), but curious as to how many people share this set up and if it’s a red flag or not that mine is set up this way. Blind tax: 175k #tech
I typically tip fairly generously ~25% when there’s a driver for delivery, but I’m pretty inconsistent on when I do pick ups from a restaurant through DoorDash or just ordering ahead through the phone. What do you usually tip the restaurant if you’re just picking up? TC Tax: 425k YOE: 2.5

I was just going for a walk minding my own business and saw a large dog spraying human sized piss in middle of the pedestrian street. I'm getting sick of dog piss and shit everywhere and it smells like dog piss in almost every street now. There should be a special tax for dog owners to fund more ci...Read more
In the past, I have interviewed multiple candidates who perfectly ace the LC questions I throw at them along with subsequent follow-ups. However, they lack hard/soft skills such as communicating or domain-specific knowledge. In 99% of the cases, I usually just give them a hire rating as long as they...Read more

I am an introvert and am unable to take part actively in design discussions and this hurts my visibility. Also, if I do ask any questions and it gets answered, I am unable to think of follow ups as I am more focused on just getting it over with. I think this can harm my career in the future. Any adv...Read more
