- Lost all respect for LinkedIn hiring bar! Came across a former colleague's LinkedIn profile and found out he is an "engineering leader" at LinkedIn. This individual commands absolutely sub-average technical competence (first hand experience) and more importantly, as a people manager was personally responsible for more than 3 employees quitt

- Should I leave a remote job making 110k? I love my job but we work 60hr weeks and I didn’t get as much stock options as I would like. I could command more salary. My current options are estimated at 600k over a 6 year vesting period. I only have the first year vested so 100k. I really love my job, the ability to work remote, and live in a

- Sharing my secret to FAANGMULASS interview success You need to find a way to calm your nerves and find inner peace to prepare for interviews. Nothing is worse than bombing a interview due to anxiety and mind fog. You can find your pattern or copy mine. First I go to Hindu temple to pray to the goddess of LC for 30min a day. Then while start doing LC
- Zoom - bizarre interview experience So I had an onsite with Zoom today. The recruiter and hiring manager I talked with previous to this were super cool. Then I talked to 2 people from the company. Both positive experiences and they seemed impressed by me. Then it all turned very bizarre. The last 2 interviews were with 2 Asians who b

- Suspense in Audit Room It was a peaceful day in the life of audit. Nice weather and AC made the audit room very habitable despite the profession we had. And guess what?

- Those in telecom, what do you actually do? TC breakdown? Sometimes titles can be ambiguous at best, inflated at worst. I’ll go first - I’m a switch engineer on the repair side of the house. On the surface, we mostly work call completion, audio, and IPTF/IPIVR issues that occur outside of a customer’s CPE. We check stats on LD trunk groups and if we see er
- 10 years work in tech…as a nobody I was born and raised in a small country in Asia. When I was in high school, my parents bought me a very low-end computer, which was my first tech product, and that was the year of 2000.

L6 TLM, 18 YoE, $630TC, 6 years at Google Posted this similar in Google lounge, want to get thoughts here too. Warning wall of text.
