- Is there any team in Amazon India which does actual work and not just maintenance 🤔 ? I have seen a lot of teams in Amazon India and not a single one of them has innovative work. On the contrary, I have seen some developers who have not even coded for months. Just wondering if there is any team where there is actual innovation going on? #Amazon#AmazonIndia

- What is this behavior called If someone does all kinds of shit to someone, and when pointed out, not only denies it but makes it seem like the problem is with the other person for interpreting it that way and humiliate them despite all contrary evidences.

- Managers - how do you rate ones with family vs. no family Curious how you would rate a person that can’t take on as much workload because they have kids vs. a person that is single or no kids. The ones in the latter category may have bandwidth to do a lot more and get a higher rating. On the contrary a manager may feel the one with kids is doing great (but

- Which companies have interview processes entirely focused on leetcode type questions for mid level engineers? Kind of like Google and Microsoft, I find those types of interviews far less painful than having to deal with behavioral and resume based questions which are so much more boring (seems contrary to the popular opinion here on blind though). System design I don't mind but am not that great at so prefe
- vote Rush a Competing Offer Hi! I got an offer from company A and waiting to hear back from the On-sites of company B. Should I tell company B I got an offer already?

- Uber will gradually be a company no one wants to work for 1. Rounds of layoffs and buying company at the same time has no problem from business perspective, but employees being treated like shit is another name for uber. 2.

Have a team interested in pre-allocation; like the folks quite a bit but not 100% sure if the project would be a fit. On the contrary, can do bootcamp; but not sure how much headcount would be open.

- Resign or accept a counter offer from current employer? I've typically read that if your current employer tries to counter an external offer when you resign, you should generally still resign. This way there is no bad blood, and your management chain doesn't have a preset head to chop when layoffs occur. Contrary to this, has anyone ever actually accep

I am of the opinion that buy Tesla if you like
