Working At Gap
- Libraries are now better to work at than Starbucks. Even McDonald's is closing the gap. There was a time when Starbucks was the only place to work outside home that was cheap and had wifi > 1 mpbs. That time has changed. All the libraries have > 10 mbps, most are standard 30 mbps or more, which is far more than anyone needs for standard work. Better yet, you don't need a winter j
- Background Checks Does your company’s background check look into your resume gaps (and if so, how do they do so)? I worked 7 months at a company to get me through financially during the pandemic but it’s irrelevant experience and quite frankly I hated that time there so don’t want to touch upon it during interviews.
- Instacart just doesn’t give a shit about its current employees - People joined at 39b are leaving left and right. - Company morale sucks. - Huge pay gap between new comers and current employees who have been working with literally no WLB. - Asking current employees to refer more so the company can replace themselves when they leave soon. If you think IC throws
- What does Jane Street look for? Hey everyone, I’ve applied to Jane Street online in the past and didn’t pass the resume screen so I’m curious on what skills or attributes they look for in experienced hires so I can try to see where my gaps were.

- How to reduce drinking Advice please. It feels like alcohol fills in the gaps of loneliness and the general shittyness of working at Google. I’ve been averaging 4+ beers per night since joining G a few years ago. I never had this problem working at startups even when averaging 70 hours / week.
- Having to be endlessly productive It’s tiring. In school it’s grinding just a few years for college. In college it’s for a good GPA/internship/job. At work it’s for career growth/rewards/promo. So when can you actually take a break? When you retire? I want a long break where I can do absolutely nothing productive. But seems like ev

It seems if you've only worked 3 months at a company before leaving, you should not include it in your resume. what is the minimal amount of a working period that would be acceptable to include in your resume? Does it change if that company is a FAANG company? Please keep in mind that for the amou

- Gap Year or FIRE Anyone else out there burnt out after working from home this last year? Feel like I worked more than I ever have in my life and it’s all just starting to feel like a blur of wasted time. Not sure about you, but when I was a kid I never aspired to stare at a computer screen 12 hours a day. Seriously
- vote Is staying until reaching L6 worth it? Hello Blind, I have been at Amazon retail for 3.5 years. I have been working on the L6-scope work for a year now and my manager believes the remaining gaps to L6 can be closed in the next 1.5-2 years by delivering more projects to fill up the gaps. Is this worth the effort to get promoted and join

I used to be very excited but now it's just work work work, alarms go off, COEs raise, manager gets annoyed, etc. I no longer find fulfilment in life besides working everyday from 10a-11p.

- Product Analytics / DS at FB or Google, as a lead or higher? I would like to pay you for a mock interview. I get asked to interview for Product Analytics Lead roles at G and FB, unfortunately I have bombed each of them 3 times, at various stages in the process.

- Is TC cliff a thing at FB? I am wondering why people working at FB continue after 4 years if they had vested all their initial grant. Does FB refill the initial grant after completion of 4 years to avoid TC decrease? Or so the refreshers essentially fill that gap? Why would someone continue if the comp reduces after 4 years?

- WFH has one advantage: we can interview with another company It seems WFH has one big advantage, we can join a company first, and then even within the first couple of months, interview with other companies.

- Data Analysts vs SDE - Compensation Disparity I’m seeing a big big gap between Data Analyst vs SDE salaries. Most of which is justified with the unique skillset SDEs bring and the nature of work being more technical.
