Worked my ass off got bunch of SSA + promo + stock appreciation now in 2022 my TC is 1cr. For the past 3 months, day and night I have been int
- Why is Google put on a pedestal here? It's a glorified retirement home Nowadays everyone and their grandma gets in there. Every other LinkedIn post you see on LinkedIn nowdays is humbled to announce posts from music majors and bootcampers that are incoming SWE at Google. Most of the people I know who work there from college (It's USC or UCLA. not revealing which one)

- Promotions are not purely performance based but had to do more with your years of experience in the same role? Hi I feel more blind 8-) , coz I think I don't understand this notion. Am I wrong to expect promotions or at least appreciation if I am performing my 200% and don't get the fruits of it coz a slacker has been working for 3-4 yrs in the same role. On getting promoted my manager was like you know this
- Just do not feel like working. What to do? I tried taking vacays, sick days, motivating videos, awesome desk setup, pomodoro and what the hell not. Just the drive is not there. But still push myself daily for those 8 hrs and do my best. No complaints from team. Have been a good performer. I just want to do a mundane routine boring job. I do

- LinkedIn is the best tech company according to me Working as a Staff engineer in one of the data infra teams. TC 450k. Total years of experience: 11. Some of the advantages: 1. Awesome backend/distributed systems work. Good opportunity to design, code, learn and grow. Cutting edge work. 2. Very smart co-workers 3. I don’t have to work out of pressu
- vote Do you kind of love Leetcoding? I have been Leetcoding for about two months. I have fully completed around 70 questions or so in that time. I have spent a lot of time Leeting but have kind of come to enjoy it. The feeling of being able to understand a problem that you couldn’t even understand the solution for a month ago is an awe
- Becoming a Life coach love helping/motivating professionals Folks, Is there anyone here or someone you know that changed careers to become a life coach(can be a professional coach for folks in tech industry, don't have to give speeches) from Eng. tech ?

- Does your technical lead limit your growth? I'm in a technical role at work and my team is full of (super) senior folks. I'm probably one of the guys with lowest experience level. The team and my tech lead are awesome. However, my tech lead - being the wonderful person he is, I still feel he limits my growth by not pushing or motivating me. H

Whenever I request to connect with people that don’t know me, they almost always accept, EXCEPT for people working for FAANG. If I direct message them, they don’t answer. Why? Suppose my motivation is
- Motivate someone to meditate daily I personally gained lot of calm by practicing meditation. Now, I am seeing my wife suffering mentally and I have said countless times to do daily meditation. But, she doesn't see the point of meditating. Sometime she talks about her friend to whom she looks up to to get inspiration and she also tell
- vote I hate "constructive criticism" I know that we're all supposed to like it, because it helps us grow, but I think for the most part it's BS, especially at Amazon. Even if you're working your ass off and consistently delivering awesome results, it seems that managers are trained to always give you a bit of negative feedback from ti

- If you’re struggling with burnout or depression try a Walking Desk I know this might get laughed at since I probably would have too before I tried it. I didn’t exercise before, I’m a lazy person. This changed my life. Not standing desk - Walking desk. Counterintuitively, it is easier to walk than stand. I can’t just stand more than 10 min. I walk for hours without
- What is your best “I quit” scenario This could be real or imaginary (as in what you would do once you have the offer ) Back in my previous company, my manager calls me for the regular 1:1 to pass condescending remarks and threaten me with my job if I dont complete things sooner by working late nights/weekends for the next one week to
