- Uber code quality culture? How is the culture at Uber for code quality and engineering standards? Does the performance review system reward engineers for focussing on quality of code, design ? If so, how ?
- RIP Uber Credit Card Was nice while it lasted It will now reward 'Uber Cash' instead of cash back (only useable on uber services). They are also converting your current points (real money) into the new system (lol) Redeem for real cash while you can and cancel. And fuck those sleezy conversion tactics, time to defaul
- vote Does your company significantly reward high performers? In Facebook we have the discretionary equity (DE) as a tool to reward top performers, as picked by the director, by giving them additional equity to vest over 4 years. The DE is 3-6 times the value of a typical refresher of that level. This makes a good performer have a compensation well beyond com
- vote Take a paycut and leave FB? Blinders, what you think? I have been at FB for ~2.5 years and this place is too stressful. Constant rat race, working 55h+/w. On the flip side, I have been rewarded very handsomely. I have offers from G, Microsoft and Uber but none comes near my TC. I am E6 making ~$680k (due to D.Es). My offers are: Microsoft - L66: $525

- Tired and need a change Tired of slogging all day and night. Working without breaks. Extremely burnt out and want to quit. No rewards or recognition for the hard work. Do New Grads working at other companies feel the same way ? Doordash has bad culture towards new grads and dump loads of work with no rewards. Should have
- What stocks will 5-10x in the next 5 years? There are so many stocks that have risen 5x in the last 5 years. Including most of the FAANG companies. Many tech IPOs in last 2 years did 30x,50x, or even 100x in some cases. If you picked almost any of them and put $1M in it you’d be set for life. Will this happen again? Curious what companies ot
- Are Bolt valuations realistic? I have been at Amazon all my professional life, so I have no idea how startups work or how they should be valued. I just learned about offers from FB(L6 at 530k) and G(L5 at 380k) and I have MSFT and Uber interviews lined up for next week. I have also been hearing about Bolt (the e-commerce startup)

Tried to represent

- link Predictions for Changes At Uber I’m a Dara believer. I suspect with his experience and travel chops, Uber will finally introduce a proper loyalty and rewards program, they’ll improve their terrible, over-designed mobile app, and create tighter app and business integrations for travel, dining, and hotels, as a company like Pricelin

- How much does reputation matter in tech vs talent for a software developer who is relatively new to industry? I joined Microsoft at India office out of college 2 and half years ago and have got great work and team to work with. I have been rewarded with two straight promos 59 to 61 in 2 years and would mostly likely get another one during this years annual review. My question is whether it's good to switch
- vote Next Credit Card: Amex Plat vs Sapphire Reserved vs Venture X It's been a while since I've added a new card and I have some expenses coming up so I figured now could be a good time to add since I should be able to hit the sign up bonuses.

- Anything competitive with Google? I am leaving Uber. After multiple startups I am finally seeking work life balance. I borrowed time from my family and myself for too long and the reward doesn't outweigh the risks and the toll. A lot is already written about best employers for developers, but not much is said about managers. Who
