- vote Manager called me “Lazy” because I asked to be fully remote Ever since working remote due to pandemic, I feel like my productivity has gone up and I’m better able to balance life and work. They are requiring everyone to be back in the office soon. I requested to be fully remote and got DENIED. Manager said that those who want to be fully remote are “not driv
- Don’t lie if you’re a contractor for a big tech The hashtag #metalayoff is trending on LinkedIn today because a recruiter coordinator was hired to work for Meta via staffing agency as a contingent worker. Her contact was rescinded before the start date. She lied about the company that she works for. She can be sued by Meta for defamation. I wor
- Spending your 20s in a desk job. I am in my thirties and spent most of my 20s working as a server and bartender. Only got in to software after going back to school. I see younger guy/girls I work with, and sometimes I feel bad for them. I know they will be in better financial shape when they are in my age, but I can't help but fe

Recently inherited a ton of money, >35M and now I don’t know what to do (this came as an extreme surprise). If I quit work
- WLB at Qualcomm is $hit! Working at Qualcomm for about ~2 years now. WLB and work culture is shit. Lot of micromanagement. My manager expects me to be online even after the regular work hours. She expects me to attend meetings and work until 1am. People do not hesitate or give heads-up before calling on teams even at 11pm

- On Call is a trash practice that should be illegal not to provide compensation for. My team at amazon is generally really chill. Im in canada so that may explain it. But on call fucks everything up. Why the absolute fuck am i required to stay home or close to laptop for a whole motherfucking week? And then go back to working as usual next week like a fucking idiot. The whole weeke

- 4 offers, all non-FAANG, but reasonably good companies I wasn’t aware of Blind when I joined Amazon. But once I joined the community, I realized how badly I got screwed over with my Amazon offer. In these past years, I’ve benefited a lot from the information which has been shared in this community and wanted to contribute back. I recently received offe

I know a lot of young people on blind are ambitious and want to optimize for highest TC but I don’t really care about having a high TC as long as it’s $100k+. Some people want to
- Citi, BoA paying record bonus this year Wife work for Citi and has bonus 300% higher than last year, her TC is now higher than me! Cousin work for BoA and her bonus is 2.5 times last year!

- link DM for Atlassian referral. Remote work, great WLB, and HUGE growth plans to come. Atlassian is rapidly growing with ambitious future goals (planning to grow headcount from 7k to 25k over next 3-4 years). We offer decently competitive pay (going up lately so hard to narrow down on exact caps), a remote first culture for all roles, and great WLB. Honestly the best company I've work
- Companies paying 400k+ for L6/L7 I am actively applying for SDE L6/7 remote US based roles. What companies still hire and pay 400k+? I can work as a manager as well, I've been in executive positions at smaller companies. I had meta lined up but that's cancelled. I have Google and Reddit lined up (Reddit seems under 400k).

- vote Is now the time to get into Twitter 6 months until elons purchase goes through, plus another 6 months before he's able to remove all WLB and remote work. Plus lefties might be exiting soon so lower bar to enter. This all could add to a decent opportunity to level up in company and TC for a year. TC 175
- WLB at MS Was talking to a principal PgM at MS today - he’s been at MS for 5 years now. He mentioned that he cannot remember the last time he worked > 30 hours a week. How tf is that possible?! Unless the wlb there is super chill. Or is he just making things up? TC: 🥜
- How people get mindblowing TC of 500K and more? I have seen bunch of posts on Blind where people have crazy TC like 400K-500K or even more. Not sure if these are mostly FAANG TC.

- vote Eval Doordash offer I joined Uber during a peak last year and my 4 year RSU got destroyed.
