- Need help figuring the options granted in Start ups I received an offer in a Series C startup but I am confused about the wording on the offer letter. The offer says that I will be granted an option to purchase upto 0.05% shares of the company’s common stock. The wordings are confusing and it implies to me that I have to buy the options with my own m
- vote What kind of students do elite US colleges prefer? US university applications seem to want applicants all to be 'leaders' - team leader, project leader, community leader, founders of companies, etc. By demanding leadership experience on the applicants' resumes, is the US universty education implying that leader is uniquely superior to other roles so
- vote Amazon Really Sucks... but not this much. There was a post earlier copied below. It was deleted, and I call bullshit. It's my turn to cυck for Amazon even though I quit *without notice* the day after my final stock vest hit my account.

- LLC units (profit interest, units appreciation rights etc) Not too much info on equity that is in LLC units. I did some research and found there are actually a few types: profit interest, phantom equity, and units appreciation rights. Can someone who accepted a job with LLC units as equity or knows more about this topic enlighten me on this? I read that
- Consequences of mortgage default when personally liable If I default on a mortgage in Ireland (Europe), what are the consequences, beyond repossession of home? Since Ireland has full recourse mortgages, one is personally liable. What does this imply? 1. Can my savings be taken away for repayment? (This seems like an obvious yes) 2. Will my paper and rea
- Generic negotiating advice Let's say you have a few offers from decent companies. One of them is clearly where you want to work, but you want to use the other offers to make that as high as possible. What's your strategy? Do you tell the favorite company about the highest offer from another company, then ask for a higher o

- Dissatisfied in role, let skip or boss know? My skip has a reoccurring invite with me. Should I let them know I'm dissatisfied or passively imply interest in other teams? Not super happy in my role, but no idea how it can change. It's more of a support role. The skip and my boss are buddies and hang out outside of work. My issues: boss does n
- Intern referral Hi Everyone, I am currently pursuing MS in Computer Science at Arizona State University. I have a GPA of 3.44. I completed my under-graduation from NIT Surathkal, India.

- vote Blind Date? When will Blind start a dating app? As the name implies, it should be called Blind Dating. So no pictures required on your profile for anonymity reasons. For example I know a few single directors and VP’s on here. Also to protect the dignity of those who identify as ‘ugly’. It would be integrated w
- Can't do 2 jobs due to companies laws in Texas Some banks have an agreement you have to sign at the time of hiring to not be able to code as a part time somewhere else. You can do some other things like Uber and shit but for that too you'll need multiple approvals. So some of my questions are, why have that law? It implies that you are a modern

- Manager blocking promotion because I'm too young I joined 13 months ago at a medium sized company (fresh grad). I recently got offer from another team at a higher level through internal job posting. I prefer to work on my current project so I asked my manager to match. My manager said he wants me to stay but it looks bad to give someone so young
- vote Is it a bad idea to stay on a low scale team long term? I work at Amazon on a team of about 10. We build an internal web application for business employees. Maybe 5k users total. Work life balance is great. Oncall is minimal. Management overall is very good. I like my team members. Comp could be better, but hey that’s Amazon right now. All of our desig
- Is Amazon abusing willful candidates to justify internal transfers? I’ve gone through and made it to the final round an embarrassing number of times. No matter how well I think it goes I get the generic rejection at the end. This latest attempt had me pass a full hour system design only to be rejected as a result of my last interviews system design. I asked what my
- Three offers, or stay at my current job. I’m really undecided. What do you guys think? Current job: chill startup with awesome coworkers. Remote, with a HQ in my home city of Boston. Main cons: fairly “legacy” code base, lack of dedicated Frontend engineers, some frustrating internal libraries. All in all I am happy with it, but it doesn’t pay a lot for my level (175k senior Frontend

- Amazon 12 month cooldown?? Hello, I saw a comment recently that insinuated that if you did REALLY bad during an amazon interview, you would get blacklisted for 1 year. Well, this happened to me. I though that it was just for people who fail at on-site whereas any other stage would only be a 6 month cooldown. But then aga
- If you get high TC would you have crazy pressure? tl;dr Do you get more pressure if your incoming TC is top of the band? ———- Had 4 onsite interviews. Kicked butt at two of them (Apple/late stage startup). Did good at Facebook. No offer at another. Two I kicked butt at are competing against each other and TC is comparable. Apple is slightly high
- Salary vs. equity negotiation for early-stage startup Hi, I received an offer at an early-stage startup (10 people) with an equity package of 0.4% with a 5-year cliff. I would love some advice on what the pros/cons are of negotiating for more salary vs. more equity. I'm new to the startup world and from the few articles I've read online, my equity m
- Too specific questions here? Aren't people outing themselves? I'm entry level when it comes to using Blind and I'm genuinely curious why people do what they do here sometimes... for example, people posting very specific stories and situations that could imply which team or manager or individuals it is about. I have no problem with the app and even with these
- Recruiter reached out about a FT role but is claiming it’s only for contract. What gives? I recently found a job opening at a FANG company that doesn’t require 10+ years experience (closer to an NT3/4) Today, a recruiter from an agency reached out about opportunities in the Bay (didn’t mention anything specific before our call). I took it to hear what she had to say. She ends up pitchi

- vote Should I stay away from Facebook? I have a return offer from Facebook, which I'm happy about, but all the threads I've seen on Blind in the last year talking about how FB has the worst WLB of any company (even worse than Amazon) and is a pressure cooker where people burn out and get fired easily, is making me reconsider accepting.
- Equity review help!! Got an offer from a private company good growth, VC backing, $25mil in revenue for 2022 on track for $45 mil next year. The equity portion of the offer makes no sense. The valuation seems high and the revenue goal ambitious. Need help ladies and germs! What questions would you be asking here?! Be
- What's the deal with bias (racial or otherwise) in ML/DL? Lately I've noticed there's been a huge uproar over bias in ML models. It seems to imply that the algorithms themselves are racist, and that the data is irrelevant. Do you guys actually agree with that? The recent neurIPS talk only focussed on how it affected the black demographic. Eg how upscaled
- vote SFH in 95118 (Reed elementary school district) vs Townhome in good school district. Pros of SFH: own the land and everything (so easier to modify the house in future if needed), no HOA, generally interest rates seem to be lower for SFH (correct me on this one if I’m wrong), all in one floor so no need to climb any stairs, maybe better resale value? (Again, correct me if I’m wrong)
