- vote Six offers: where would you go? As the title implies, I have six offers to choose from. The TC next to each is the total expected comp over 4 years, divided by 4 (including sign on and expected refreshers). I've negotiated a bit, so not sure if any of these can go higher. I'm leaning towards a smaller company after my stint at Go
- facebook preallocation Hi all, I just got an E6 offer at FB and several FB managers have already been trying to convince me to join their team. The recruiter seems to imply picking a team before joining (aka preallocation?) is not ideal. Could someone help me understand the pros and cons here? Thanks in advance. #facebo
- Feeling dead inside I'm not sure why, but I feel like I'm dying on the inside little by little. Happens more at work for sure. I'm frequently reminded of my mortality by a voice inside my head. I'm still in my late 20s. Should this be happening? Have you felt the same way. Does this imply I should change my job perhap
- vote Have you ever had a company back out after you verbally accepted offer? everyone on here seems to say “don’t put your two weeks notice in until there is a written offer and start date” implies to me that people have been burned in the past where they interviewed, were offered the job, they accepted, then the company ghosts them or backs out (never sending offer letter)
- What is the definition of executive? I have been offered a role that they categorise as "executive". They never mentioned director. Is it implied? What are the responsibilities of an executive? What is the difference with a non exec role? Thanks
- Instacart Equity Hi, Received Instacart offer letter. On the letter under “how my hire date impacts vesting” it says there are four quarterly service-based vesting dates each calendar year. feb, May, aug, nov 15. I’m wondering what this implies. I thought on blind some were saying that vesting is on a different sc
- Google Cloud customers confidential GCP talks often mention Spotify as "the one we can mention publicly", implying that there are others that want to remain anonymous. AWS/Azure, otoh, seem to have no issues listing their big name users. Why the secrecy from GCP?
- Quitting Facebook around Stock Vesting Time I have another job lined up and am planning to quit facebook soon. I was hoping to still get the stock vest on August 15th. If I give two weeks notice before the vest, but my last day is after the vest, would I still get it? e-nonmanagers had a comment that seemed to imply the moment you give two w
- How to ask for a raise My manager assigns me to only insignificant yet troublesome products that requires a lot of efforts which no one cares/appreciates except when they can bad mouth about the troubles the products cause. When i asked for a raise, my manager implied that the products i manage don’t matter and hence my c
- "work life harmony"? Apparently Jeff Bezos believes in WLH not WLB, curious how it works at Amazon? from jeff's wiki: "Bezos uses the term "work–life harmony" instead of the more standard work–life balance because he believes balance implies that you can have one and not the other. He believes that work and home life
- FB second chance I interviewed for swe role earlier this year, made it onsite but got rejected. Another FB recruiter reached out for a Production Er role, the role actually fits my profile better. Does this imply my interview last time was close, what are the odds second time around. I am wondering if it’s worth i
- Got a call from Google but asking for programming skill I am a systems administrator progressively become solution architect. I got an email from recruiter and she sent a skill discovery form. She was implying that I had to do 80% coding to even consider interviewing. Should I drop it, I can use some advise here.
- Your favorite FAANG? I’ve been at 4/5 FAANG (except F) during my 15 year tenure as a dev and my top two are #apple and #netflix (although not enough time at Netflix yet). My worst experience was at Google as I found my peers extremely arrogant. For those who’ve worked at 2 or more FAANG, which is your favorite and the
- Hiring via Referrals and its Impact in Diversity Yo! Have you seen these events where you show up to recommend your buddies so recruiters reach up to them? Have you heard when they say “referrals are the best hires”? What does that imply in terms of making the team diverse? How does executive search works? Do you just apply to a job like that or d
- vote Selling at a loss and a gain at the same time Noob question, but couldn't quite find the answer online: If I hold $X at an average price of $50 with these positions: 1. Bought at $40/share x 1,000 2. Bought at $60/share x 1,000 And sell all at $55 per share in a _SINGLE TRANSACTION_, these imply that there is: 1. A capital gain of ($55
- Coinbase Senior SWE Phone Interview My recruiter told me that I would have to design a "well-designed" system for my phone interview. This kinds of implies to me that I would have to use multithreaded/async programming and build a server during the interview. Would this be asked during this interview or would it be a simple algorithms
- Google L3/L4 vs YOE Looking for a typical headcount distribution percentage of L3 vs YOE. Something like below: 0-1 yoe: 40% 1-3 yoe: 40% 3-5 yoe: 20% And so on... This would imply that 20% of L3 swe have yoe between 3 to 5. Ofcourse above is just an example. Post what you think would be more appropriate.
- any non-SWE Netflix people here?? specifically studio creatives?? I know this site is VERY swe-focused, but im wondering if there are any studio creative peeps in the LA office that can speak to the culture / enviornment there. the glassdoor reviews seem to mostly imply that the culture deck is BS and not often followed, but i sense a lot of the people saying that
- Unconscious Bias There are people around me who say things that imply that men are innately better than women in coding. I actually don’t think it is on purpose, but they sort of slip out through conversations. For example, I have been told I am where I am because “I work harder than my peers” (male counterparts) as
- Am I understanding valuation and my equity right? Left a FAANG, joined a seed-stage startup as a senior IC. My new base salary is close to my pre-pandemic-job-boom total TC (~200k), with 5% equity. Fast forward a few months on the job, software is nearing launch for first customer, team is coming together decently, backlog of customers waiting to
- vote I want to be a manager at Google someday. If I get a promo from SDE to manager at Amazon, should I take it? Same question as title. Direct quote from my friend "Being an sdm at amazon implies you’re actively contributing to a toxic culture. If I was hiring anywhere it would be a huge red flag." Since I want to become an SDM in my career, wouldn't it be a good idea to get SDM experience? Or is Amazon so
- Uber will gradually be a company no one wants to work for 1. Rounds of layoffs and buying company at the same time has no problem from business perspective, but employees being treated like shit is another name for uber. 2. The reputation of this company is ruined so badly. It’s not cool to work for uber any more. It’s not cool to be an employee there mos

In the Software Engineering Intern job description, at Facebook, it is not mentioned that I need to return back to my university program.. does this imply that I can apply for the 2020 internship at Facebook (given that I will graduate in May 2020)? Thanks.
- GCP vs Google Got reached out by a recruiter from google. Wanted to work more towards distributed systems, so told him I want to work infra and core tech such as spanner et which may have implied Gcp. I didn’t do my research, apparently gcp doesn’t have the best rep. 1. Why is gcp getting a bad rep? What’s the c
- Google wants written proof of competing offer Google made me an offer for L4 but I also got a competing offer for L5 equivalent from a different company. Other company knows that I also have an offer from Google. They made me a verbal offer which is way over what Google made me. when sending the details via email they left out the numbers and o
- Data points in google interview What kind of data points are they looking for? Obviously fundamental cs knowledge problem solving skills but anything else? First time interviewing with google and got an on-site interview without going through phone screens. What does that imply besides "the team likes your resume"?
- link Cruise level and salary expectation I am talking to cruise for a staff ML role. I have 7+ yoe after PhD. Levels.fyi says people with 5 yoe got staff positions at Cruise, which implies title inflation. It also seems sr staff would be stretch (it is the top IC level at the company and I am 64 at MS). So the only option for me seems like
