- Bloodbath ensues on Wall St. It’s happening, the bubble has started to burst.
- vote Do you support the protests and ensuing destruction? Be honest. What do you truly feel? We are anonymous here, so no need to hide and play nice.
- link Stripe Dumpster Fire HN Thread https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29387264 TL;DR - Stripe interviewed and made verbal offer to L7 equivalent and then ghosted them. Ensuing discussion on HN brings out a lot of unflattering comments about founders and culture.
- Kids on the plane... ...are annoying as fuck! I would pay extra to not sit near one. A 16 hour hell ensues 😢 The wails of this kid manages to seep through the noise cancellation in my earphones (a bit exaggerated, but can’t put the earphones on for that long).
- Speedy Recovery The rate at which the market has fallen is unprecedented. Is an ensuing recovery, whenever that might start, likely to move as quickly back up the other direction?
- Google S / Facebook RE Is it true that Facebook gives way way way more comp to top performers? Can folks who've gotten RE at FB or S at Google share the details of the ensuing refresher (your level + refresher amount)? I'll start: - L3 S got me a $100k refresher 3 years ago - L4 S got me a $130k refresher 1 year ago
- Just one of those days? Weeks? Year? When in a slump and nothing seems to go right, is it better to just play defense and set expectations low? Brace yourself? Or try to combat the ensuing waves? Look for that one change that will turn things around?
- Will Lyft survive? Hey Lyft employees, I have an interview opportunity @ Lyft. Would appreciate some insights from you about the future of the company. The stock has taken a nosedive. Uber has its own problems, but it is bigger, more international, has diversification in other areas like Eats, freight, etc. Waymo i
- vote how much did ur weight inc since covid lockdown? How much weight have you put on since Covid started and the ensuing lockdowns. i was good ( <2 lbs ) the first 2 months but the last two months i put on almost 10 lb as my exercise time is down ( as gyms are closed) and i am eating more and more junk food. #weightwatchers #health #lockdown
- vote Your hypothesis of Market going to 💩 or 🚀? Here is mine: Market will not crash unless there is a Lehman moment in Big tech. Unlike 2008, banks are properly leveraged. Big tech and small tech are bloated. Lehman moment will most probably be in Meta (stifling regulation in 2022 or 2024 with Republicans taking back the majority or/and Metavers
- How did you give your two weeks notice? What was your manager's reaction? What ensued after? Did you tell them where you were going next? Edit: I did it. My manager was super bummed out and tried to get me stay within Apple but in a different team. I politely declined since I've made up my mind. Man I really love these people, break ups
- link Leetcoding success story Not even an year ago I was making 85k/year as a software engineer at a small company in east coast. 3 months of leetcoding and I landed a job that paid 3 times what I was making at the time. I couldn’t even believe my ears when the recruiter told me my offer. I hadn’t done a whole lot of research on
- link Retiring Early On $870K In Arizona Courtney Adcock, 36, and Steve Adcock, 39, retired in their mid-30s with a combined net worth of $870,000. This FIRE couple lives off the grid in the Arizona desert and spends $40,000 a year. “In my early 30s, I came to the realization that I just could not spend the rest of my life sitting in fron
- What to do when being layered as a PM (at FB)? Joined a new team recently as a IC6 PM reporting directly to a D1. Was told and saw a clear path to scope + becoming a manager. Then as happens here, org chaos ensued with leadership leaving and a reorg. Now I'm facing the prospect of having to report to a first time manager who's either a M1 or ju
- Facebook to Uber? Fun little tidbit: We have an internal group titled Former People of Facebook where posts are made for people who leave the company. The running joke is that the first comment is "uber or not uber?" due to the insane outreach by their recruiters. Second fun tidbit: An employee shared an email from
- Pandemic Positive: Less pressure to be social For me, one thing emerging from the pandemic that’s kind of nice is that there’s less pressure to be social. I’m an introvert. But of course, I enjoy interacting with people (in moderation) and I can’t wait until we return to a world where we can all do that again, physically. But pre-pandemic, it
- vote Are SWE interviews through zoom harder than they were in-person? Now that everyone has transitioned to completely virtual onsite interviews, I am wondering how that affects candidate AND interviewer experience. With coderpad and zoom, there's added pressure of having your code to compile perfectly, getting all the test cases right etc. On top of that, it's harde
- do all companies try to fix what's not broken or is it just Intel ? (Manufacturing) I've seen this a lot at Intel during my time here (less than 10 years). Recent examples are 2 task forces , one where the "issue" was proven by modelling to not cause impact to performance but the lead says "if we don't fix it we look bad". Second instance , a minor issue was found that can't even b
- vote when does FAANGMULA Salary Market See Correction??? So COVID-19 is fucking startups as VCs are changing their investmenr decisions and those who may need more funding later this year are going to have a hard time raising capital relative to the market pre-COVID-19. layoffs are ensuing at companies that lack strong balance sheets. and for the most p
- When do/did you know, that divorce needs to happen? Blinders, I'm posting to you all with 100% sincerity and humility. I'm about to turn 39 years old and am a father of an amazing 3yr old boy whom is the best thing that has ever happened to me, i love him so dearly, words cannot explain - the dads on this forum will understand. I've been married f
- Systems Design reading group As a lot of you here might agree, building up your systems design muscle for interviews can be challenging...more so, if you are doing this in isolation..why not form a community and help each other grow in this area...I have created a reddit community - https://www.reddit.com/r/Systems_Design/ The
- My parents think it’s my responsibility to pay for my sister Just coming off of an emotionally winded text between my dad and I. Long story short, I recently took a trip across the country to send my sister off for college. Alone. She is an incoming freshmen, 5,000 miles away from home and the least he could have done was attempt to come. But because he owns
- link (India) Astounding PhonePe Interview Experience What on earth is happening exactly in Indian tech scene? It's getting to the point of purest luck. 1. Machine Coding Round - I read everywhere that I don't need to focus on the "algorithms" in MC round and that you can discuss optimizations in discussion. So, I used a simple brute force approach to
- 4.5 years in, am I done? I know that ultimately I can only answer that question however some insight from others with experience in this situation would be more appreciated than I can say. I'll try to keep this shorter, here is my situation. I became determined to make a sales career work for me 5 years ago. I came from an
- Netflix is a truly great company Netflix really has the best culture for at least senior engineers (I know only about engineer roles). If you are contemplating switching companies, you should seriously consider Netflix. Netflix tries very hard to set up coherent policies to properly incentivize its engineers, and it executes them c
- Ever have a panic attack during an onsite? I just did TLDR: After showing up 45 mins late, had a panic attack and walked out during a stupid simple code interview. Title says it all. I'm looking to change companies because I'm totally miserable at my current gig. Have been doing phone screens and they've been going TERRIFIC. So much so that during t

I was lucky enough to receive an offer from one of the FAANG companies, and the transfer is currently in progress. All these rumors about the new Ex
- link HBR: Diverse teams less comfortable, so perform better https://hbr.org/2016/09/diverse-teams-feel-less-comfortable-and-thats-why-they-perform-better It's obvious for people who've worked in diverse teams before, but some folks still think "diversity of ideas matters more." --- In numerous studies, diversity — both inherent (e.g., race, gender) and ac
