- Toxic “diversity” culture hijacking SV companies? There seems to be a trend in Silicon Valley - some companies are hijacked under the pressure of workplace diversity. In order to compensate the minorities, companies consciously or unconsciously lower the hiring bar for them. Recently I've seen and heard a lot of female candidates get hired much ea
- Sexual Assault and Harassment at KPMG This woman bravely posted her question about sexual harassment in the workplace in December before there was a #MeToo channel. She deserves to have her voice hear in this space, too: “Does KPMG have an atmosphere that promotes sexual assault and harassment in the work place? Anyone else have bad ex
- vote Buy the fear, sell the greed I believe current Nasdaq is over vaccinated by Fed and some external factors.( interest rates, Russia, supply issue etc) IMO, it's time to buy the underestimated Big tech stock, they still shows strong profit margins and cash flows. Buy the fear, sell the greed. The fear&greed index is 37 now, it's
- Have you lost friends ? After landing a job at big companies (like FAANG), have you lost friends because you smelled jealousy, felt insecure with them or like being judged etc ? Story - I slogged my ass off to land a job. It was my personal decision. Once I announced this news, people who I called friends looked very diff
- Blind should stop letting us post our TCs Don’t you realize that seeing these high TCs makes some people feel bad? There’s clearly some mis/disinformation on here regarding TCs too. Blind should do something about it. It is their duty. I hope that some brave soul at Blind comes out and blows the whistle soon! TC: $7m ($5m base + 40% targ

- Basecamp buyouts are the model of privilege The fact a bunch of SJW employees took buyouts from a company whose values they disagree with is the model example of privilege. How easy it must be to quit your job with a golden parachute and then go to the press and opine on values. What a luxury it is that you work in an industry where you’re co
- vote Recruiters on Blind - can people DM you with questions? I've seen a few posts where recruiters will state they are recruiters which I think is pretty brave but appreciated given confusion about certain topics is rampant. Just wondering, once you put your role out there are you ok if people DM you with questions? If you say yes, what kind of [relevant] q

I'm a recovering alcoholic and fell off the wagon yesterday
- link Indian Doctors Making Ultimate Sacrifice in the US Remember these brave men and women from India who are fighting on the front-lines. US has treated us like family - it's time we give back to the country that treats us as its own. All we ask is fairness and compassion. We will happily die fighting for this country - just like any other American! h
- link YouTube's Captions Insert Explicit Language in Kids' Videos The AI that transcribes spoken dialog on the platform's standard version can render “corn” as “po&n,” “beach” as “b&tch,” and “brave” as “rap&.” Had to scramble to avoid getting flagged. Parents… watch out. https://www.wired.com/story/youtubes-captions-insert-explicit-language-kids-videos/
- Toxic Boss? Need concrete feedback #culture #officelife #workplace I received a call for a great opportunity with a company I admire. The BIG CAVEAT is the person I'd be reporting to. Former disgraced CFO from Brave Software, first name is Holli, last name begins with a "B". Word on the street is that she is awful, toxic, rude and o
- Apple careers site error I am trying to apply for a job on the Apple website, but whenever I try to submit, I get an error message that says "An error has just occurred on our server, please try again later" It doesn't allow me submit.

- link Blind is the modern version of the mini msft blog. Wonder what happened to him or her? http://minimsft.blogspot.com/?m=1 was an anonymous blog run by someone who worked at Microsoft, verified by their descriptions of working conditions. It was kind of amazing and brave to do that in the early 2000's when Microsoft seemed all powerful. it was a fantastic outlet. Blind is the modern inc
- vote Are you a spineless coward? Many of us see corporate malfeasance or unethical behavior in the workplace, but turn a blind eye to it because we have to feed our family and don't want to get into trouble as a snitch, we think every company is the same, we think that nothing will happen even if we voice our concerns, etc. That ma
- [Evil Minute] US work culture SUX Corporations ate us guys. Where is the freedom everyone talks? You can't even open a mouth due to a risk of being blacklisted. While this is became a normal to have unlimited overtimes, trade your life and families for work. Corporations compare you by performance while nobody limits the time which
- Pivoting as a DB admin? Hi, so I have a friend who's been working as a Teradata DB admin for about 20+ years. They've been working with SQL primarily and now they're curious to see how they can increase their skillset in this brave new world. How should this person manage their expectations?

- iOS Facebook app scrape browsing history from non-Safari browser? I use Brave browser. Recently, I searched for a car. Started seeing recommended ads for the specific car model on Facebook. I thought the iOS app could only scrape your browsing history if using default Safari browser. Was that a totally incorrect belief? I also use adblocker (so if the site I visit
- link The sexual assault stories will start to come out soon I was inspired by the former Hootsuite employee who bravely posted about her experiences while working there. One specific quote resonated with me: “The sexual assault stories will start to come out soon.” https://us.teamblind.com/s/KrhzqRHX I don't work at Hootsuite, but how right you are, amiga,
- What's with the crypto bubble? Stock bubble I can understand. There's a ton of fundamentals and a ton of speculation that fuels stock bubbles. The fundamentals provide a solid launchpad for the rocketships. And when the rocket burns out, the fundamentals provide a reasonable baseline around which the rocketship can plummet. Cryp
- I’m jealous of people who can quit their jobs I have a startup idea but I’m not brave enough to pursue it. It’s insane to me how some people can be so bold in life. Steve Jobs went to college, just smoked weed and chilled on the lawn, going to random classes and messing around, and then somehow still started a successful company, he was not wo
- How do you learn new things at work when your job isn’t teaching you anything? I’m not learning anything new at work in terms of technologies or technical skills, and spend most of my day fixing bugs. This is really boring and killing my motivation because I want to code and not just fix broken shit. I’ve been leetcoding and interviewing at other companies, but the day to day
- How should I set my budget for home purchase I'm thinking of buying a house. Most of my NW is in stock and it's about 1.2M (200k in 401k). My TC is historically about 500k due to the stock application but I would be conservative and assume my TC for the next couple of years would be around 300k. I am the only source of income in the household.
- What do you, engineers, do outside of work. Inspired by someone's earlier post about the boring Seattle engineering men dating scene, was wondering what kind of gigs engineers do outside of work? Asking this because I recently came to the same realization about myself - that by working at tech I almost forgot about how brave and inspired I
