- Which company do you want to talk to here on Blind? I recently saw employees from Palantir, Hulu, and Blizzard. It makes sense that some of the smaller companies won't have a huge presence here, but I'd be curious to see which company isn't here, that should be here. Does it make sense for us to invite friends that work at Zenefits? Slack? Or maybe
- PSA: ask your recruiter about salary bands upfront Not sure why people don’t do this more often but it’s saved me a ton of time and effort. If you’re TC chasing and want to optimize for time during interviews - ask about their offered TC. It also gives you a glimpse into their culture. Eg: asked about TC for a role today and when I shared what I ma

I have taken up some tasks on the side apart from my daily SWE job to get a glimpse of the same . I would highly appreciate it if anyone who has made this transition can share their experience w

Aren't the first two rounds giving you enough glimpse of my coding ability and problem solving ability. And what's this BS of writing code on whiteboar

- Amazon Recruiters What has happened to Amazon recruiters now? They have been spamming managers and directors with software engineer roles. Their email starts with “I had a chance to review your background and a glimpse of the work you are doing. Your background looks like a potential match and I would like the oppo
- Buy home in bidding war market or wait I started going to open houses recently and liked one house which I definitely want to buy. Same feeling from my spouse. So when I went to this open house and seller agent told me they already have 2 offers above the listing price( it was listed less than 48 hrs ago ) . Any thoughts if that was trut
- Rate my sabbatical plan Motivation • Currently “just” a generalist software engineer at Microsoft • Working on the same team for 6 years. Spent too much time optimizing for current job. • Struggled to interview externally (2018), struggling to interview internally (2020) • Idea: 10-month sabbatical to learn machine learnin
- How does it feel to have a true high TC (over 1 mil TC)? I am talking about the folks that really make > 1m TC (980k and above is ok) as single. If you are a couple, it needs to be 2m combined TC. And looking at people that especially have had this income for a few years (not those that hit 1m by accident/one time stock appreciation). YOE? What typ
- Amazon L5 to FB E5 expectations Hey all, Ive recently received an offer for FB E5 as a seasoned Amazon L5. Ive taken on projects of decent complexity as an IC and been project lead on a couple projects as well. I feel close to SDE3, if not at the bottom of SDE3 already. I always hear about how L5 bleeds into E5. Should I be hesi

On Thursday, though, the huge w
- Suspense in the Audit Room 2 Ok. I get in to work before 9 anyways. I have no problem starting my day before 9. But why do you have to book a meeting at 8am? 8! 8!! 8 AM!!! Why? For three consecutive days? We were silent. That's how confused we were. This time, even our super star senior couldn't stop the savagery. We just pr
- Hopefulness Worked at a tech startup for 2 years before getting laid off from covid. Really loved being at work, felt energized working in the tech scene. Ever since late 2020 I have struggled to find a job that gets me the same energized feeling. Luckily I have savings, but obviously I want to be making money
- Controversial: Only underperformers want to end WFH This is a common trend I’m seeing. The people who lay low, haven’t PR’d since last Christmas, randomly miss standups, casually ask “uh. does anyone know when we can go back to the office?” or “when can we stop working from home?” They know the optics are there with WFH, all eyes are on your story p
