- vote Do Blind referrals even work? Seeing a number of people getting referrals through their "Please refer me to company XXX", when people are writing "DM me for XXX". Wanted to acquire some stats on whether an HR contacted you after somebody referred you in such a way (Obviously, it's implied nobody ever stated the candidate is fro
- Assignment of Inventions I’m being asked “ASAP” to sign an Assignment of Inventions legal document. The language used in it is super sketchy. I know a lawyer and will try my best to have him read it over first. I love developing software in my free time. How dangerous is this for my personal projects? What if I want to pr
- vote Devops Vs Data Engineering Hey y'all, As my username implies, I'm not quite interested in being a SWE. Based on my interests, I've narrowed it down to SRE/Devops and data engineering. Among devops and data engineering, which should be the path that I take? Priorities: 1) No LC type interviews when switching jobs(or atle
- Terrible Google post-interview experience I interviewed for a new role with Google about 4 months ago, as a manager in a specialised area of engineering. Every few weeks, I contact the recruiter to ask if a decision has been made, and am told that I'm still very much in the running, but they haven't managed to collect feedback from my inte
- uber recruiter no response Finish my onsite two weeks ago. Got response 2 days later saying my 2 coding are strong, but there are some concern on system design, so they gave me an additional video interview last Friday. It's a bar raiser. The interviewer's level is very high at Uber. I think I had a good conversation, and I f
- Average stay in Amazon is less than 18 months. Median is significantly less. In my opinion this recent post is spreading misinformation of long tenure based on no data https://us.teamblind.com/s/5NH0GsY6 Amazonians, if you use data from old fart tool you'll get the calculation of less than 18 months average tenure. It's the best tool created by a Principal Engineer at Amazo
- Joining a newly acquired company, with a lot of 'migration' work ahead I'm potentially looking at joining a team that's part of a company that was just recently acquired by a much bigger tech corp. From talking to the interviewers they seemed to imply most of the work right now has to do with integrating with the new parent company, and moving their monolith into micro

- My husband wants me to learn LC Hi blind community. I am a non-tech mom doing some secretary job at a retail company. My husband works at one of FAANG companies . He frequently quotes some ‘Leadership Principles’ namely ‘frugality’ implying that I could earn more by learning coding to land a job of tech role at FAANG. So that I co
- Business Analyst vs Digital Business Analyst at McKinsey A few months ago, I heard about a massive hiring spree McKinsey was going through, so having applied and interviewed in college, I decided to throw my resume in as well. I didn't hear back so I assumed it was an implied denial. I just heard back from them today asking if I was still interested and
- What field studies applied data science systems? Is there a name for the field that explores the tooling? Looking for something to call this, and got feedback that "quantitative systems" just sounds like generic "computers" Possible contenders and my reservations about each... - Applied math; almost entirely math and not much CS as far as I can
- Is more people joining your team okay? I'm new here! Before I used to work at a moderately sized well know company where the team size and the team remained constant for many years. As soon as I joined my new team I've seen many people leave and many people getting hired in the last 2-3 months. I'm really confused about what to think
- Recruiter asking for salary and current level I'm working with a recruiter in a FAANG company who is asking for my current level (saying I can only do a lateral move vs the level am targeting which I interviewed for) and my current salary. I don't want to provide it but I really want to role. They are being a bit brisk at taking no for an answ
- Internal Hiring I work for Perspecta. (there apparently aren’t enough employees on this app to have their own page yet). I applied to a job opening with the same company, and it was offered to me, and I accepted. All verbally of course, because I wanted to have my manager’s blessing before moving forward. I told m
- Why are biotech companies crazy about return to office ? I recently jumped over from consulting to a growing biotech company on the west coast. They wanted someone who would relocate but I negotiated for a remote role, verbally saying I would eventually move. Now, my manager is constantly implying or asking about when I would move and it’s getting a littl
- 'Bullied' by a coworker I used to help a coworker on the task that he's working on. He's more senior than me, but he wrote some messy and hard-to-understand code. (not only myself, but another senior coworker has also mentioned that same) One day during the stand-up meeting that has 25 participants, manager asked that per
- Feels like I'm drowning... Exactly what the title implies. I'm technically heading up my team of one right now. I have no idea what the hell I'm doing some days and it feels too much some days. I get pinged left and right with analytics requests, access questions, etc. It's just too much for one person. We have some people co
- mindset(open to learning + relentless focus) == FAANG I have been training people for the past 1 year to get into FAANG. I worked with 113 people in total and 27 people were successful. All these successful candidates had 2 things in common a) They would always follow up on feedback, implying they listened and acted to correct. In the following sessi
- vote Is it rude to not ask questions? Grew up in a non US culture where we don’t ask questions. We just listen and learn. If we have questions, it implies that the presentation/course/whatever you listen to was incomplete. Or you were not focused enough to get it on your own. After 10 years in the US I still have to force myself to ask
- Definition of taking ownership? My manager seems to think just because I’m relatively senior, I should “take ownership” which I don’t have problem with. However, what he meant by ownership seems to be I should not bother him at all and when I propose solution the guy seems to always not agree and even imply that I should do work
- Cisco Vs. Microsoft Was it a mistake to come to Cisco over Microsoft? Edit: I am an intern. I was at Microsoft for 2 summer's. I still have time to switch companies but wasnt sure if I should stay at Cisco. I'm in software dev and off the bat they're implying that my entire intership is centered around taking the CCNA

- Why are Netflix shows so much worse than HBO? I have had Netflix for many years now, but by now i keep it mostly for the kids shows for my child (Octonauts, PJ masks, Hello Ninja, Earth to Luna, Cleo and Cuquin, Storybots...), but the adult shows are just terrible. I like the British bake-off (but that one is bought), and money heist (bought),
- Do companies have a hiring blacklist? I had a phone interview scheduled with a company this week but I never received the call. I emailed the recruiter and phone interview coordinator only to never hear back again. I did interview with this company in the past. Maybe about 1.5+ years ago. I didn't do too well on the onsite. I applied a

- Why does good chunk of medical doctors focus on reactive (💊/operation) approach and not changing lifestyle/foodhabits ? #health #healthcare I even see doctors who venture into unhealthy lifestyle as norm, which just implies that even medical education is centered around dealing on fixing the problem and not on working that problem doesn't show up. I understand that big pharma lobbing has a lot to do with this(cours
