- Is it true Facebook doesn't negotiate New Grad base salaries? Received an offer for a University Grad design role (I think it's IC3) $32/hourly = $67k base a year which is amusingly enough lower than the compensation my past 2 internships (which also had the same slew of benefits and relocation too). This is well below the market rate on Glassdoor and for th
- How should I interpret “not only that”? Sometimes during my conversations people will respond with “not only that but..”. I am not a native English speaker and struggle to understand how the response should be interpreted. Is the person agreeing with me and furthering the discussion or implying something else? Please advise. Thank you.

- Security Engineers, what are some job description red flags? Security engineer is such a broad title, am seeing job descriptions that range in responsibility and seniority.

- Linkedin immigration I am negotiating offers with LinkedIn and am non-tech with an H1B. How is the immigration team at LinkedIn in general, and any recent insider news on green card filing?

- Non-compete clauses Do most engineers have to sign non-compete clauses? I checked over my contracts over and over and I've never seen any in mine. The reason I ask this is I potentially have the opportunity to work two tech industry jobs since the first one is extremely easy. I just wanna make sure that non-competes
- Interviewer mistake Hypothetical (maybe) coding interview situation: - Interviewer gives you a task - You provide an answer - Interviewer doesn't agree and provides their approach instead, implying theirs is a correct one - Their approach is invalid (both conceptually and technically) and you try and explain that to t
- Common to report to same level manager at Facebook? Got an offer from Facebook Recruiter scheduled 10+ different HMs to chat with me. Some projects are interesting, but most of the HMs are at the same level as me, a few are one level below me. Wonder 1. Is it common for IC6/IC7 reporting to EM1/EM2 at Facebook? 2. If common, would that imply somet
- vote Google HC Chances Just got off a call with my recruiter after my onsite last week. Recruiter said feedback looks positive and they will be submitting my packet to HC next week. They gave me a rough breakdown of my interview performance: 3 of interviewer’s scored me high and all had similar feedback , 1 interviewer w
- vote Is it just me or does anyone else also feel like they’re failing at their job whenever the workload is less? Working fewer hours than before. Work isn’t as hectic. Feel like maybe I’m doing a bad job since there is so much downtime. Yes I know I should ask for manager for more work. I have. They think I should focus on current task. I don’t know what that implies. Maybe he thinks I can’t handle more. T
- Amazon Virtual Onsite Had a loop interview of the Applied Scientist role with Amazon yesterday. Two interviewers saying "Good luck with the rest of the process" at the end. I heard about this was not a good sign from some folks' experience. Will the interviewer directly imply their feedback for the onsite interview? I kn
- How can I complain - Apple Apple folks I sent my MacBook Pro (has Apple Care) for repair and Fedex claimed they sent it back to me instead of sending it to Apple (there are two stickers and were supposed to rip off the top one but didn’t). I didn’t receive it so I’m suspecting Fedex lost it. The Apple Care rep handled my ca
- Walmart UX Designer Interview Hello everyone Recently I interviewed with Walmart for their UX Designer role.

- Layoffs at msft How common are they? If msft is a rest and vest paradise with devs having insanely good wlb that generally implies orgs doesnt have a lot of work to get done. Which generally comes at the expense of usual lay offs every few years to cut in budget/spending. Atleast at amzn ur certain of no lay offs s
- Google TPM PM I interviewed at google for a PM onsite (after clearing phone screen ) and didn’t clear it. Seems they were looking for a product specific experience.

- vote Doing Internships between BS and MS? Big tech companies want us to return to our degree after completing an internship.

- Capital One Incoming Layoffs? Anyone else get the vibe there will be significant layoffs at year end? And I mean in excess of the year end stack-based management cuts. So far I’ve heard of: - A hiring freeze (not sure of scope, but maybe enterprise wide) - Ending contracts of new contractors - Not renewing longer, existing cont

- How do you answer the question: When do you plan to wrap up your job search? I got this question from a recruiter and wasn't sure how to answer it.

I did some quick stats for homes nearby in the Bay Area - rent is around 3.2-3.5k whereas the payment after 20% down is like 4.5-5k. How do these folks generate cash flow? It seems like a loss. Also even if we assume re
- Contacting Google recruiters I’ve heard that the only way to be considered for jobs at Google is to either apply online or get referred. I’ve even spoken to Google recruiters at job fairs who’ve said the same thing. This would imply that reaching out to recruiters and sourcers on LinkedIn is useless, which seems kind of odd. Wh
