- 28 & trying to switch careers into SD from Architecture Hey all, I'm 28 and working as an architectural designer and I'm paid more than a lot of my peers at my level (60k in IA), but I'm not interested in this field anymore and salary growth is close to peaking in this industry. I want to switch to programming / software development. I specifically wan
- vote Join startup to gain more experience as SWE? Hi guys, new grad here. I started coding later in my life and did a bachelor in engineering (not cs). I've had some experience in industry at not-faang big companies (less than 1.5 years) before my current master in cs. Now I'm interviewing and I have some onsites with both faangs and startups.
- Please Find Flaws In My Plan #engineering #software #career Currently new grad at Bananaland - Seattle. YoE: 0 (?) TC: 150k Want to minmax TC where I make as much as possible as early as possible for maximum opportunities. I feel good about my team, manager, and job stability for the foreseeable future at AMZN. Given these
- Questions about Amazon Onsite I had my interview a few days back, the standard 4 rounds + lunch with a person on the team. Hoping to get some thoughts about what the result might be, as its making me pretty nervous. All interviews had about 30-35 mins for LPs(Way too many followups on each scenario I spoke about) and the rest f
- vote Looking for guidance: AS → SWE vs MLE vs PM Hi! To provide some context, I'm currently an applied scientist with an MS. I chose this job because I wanted to get into ML -- however, working with almost all PhDs my imposter syndrome is going through the roof. Also, I've never been very strong in math, I somehow got through college and my master
- Team Dynamics question How do you deal with uncomfortable issues with male coworkers in meetings. I find my ideas and things I propose are looked at with scepticism by even more junior engineers, any architecture and system diagrams are pretty much questioned - a lot of the questions are even pointless, and in general a
- vote Do you love tech for tech? I genuinely love tech, computer science, coding etc. People sometimes meet me and say, "good choice - you picked a field that's high paying/in demand". Thing is, I didn't get into tech for the money. When i got introduced to coding in 9th grade, I had no idea what type of jobs there were for it or h
- vote How do you push back on over-working while maintaining a good performance evaluation? Hey y'all. This is a long post so buckle up, but I've included the tldr if you'd like to get straight to it. A little background on myself: I'm new to the corporate life halfway through an 8-month internship at MSFT. While I've been enjoying my work and thought I was just going through the typical
- Google L3 vs Amazon L5 First of all, thank you all for creating such an awesome community! From the last few weeks, I have been spending more time on Blind than on any other social sites :) About me: I am currently pursuing MS CS in one of the top US universities and will be graduating soon. This summer I interned at Goo
- Do not let anyone tell you, you are not worth anything - My Journey. I want to share my journey from absolutely nothing to something. Little background: Male 31 yrs old from India. 10th : 66%, 12th : 56%, UG(electronics): 67%, Grad(MS CS): 3.5. Folks from India would understand what 56% (~D grade) in 12th would mean. After my results, I wanted to hide from the world
- Will a PhD help my promotion to Principal Engineer? L4 SDE here with the hope of becoming a Principal at FAANG or equivalent status at a startup. For those unaware, at AMZN there are only 5 SDE levels (L4-8): Principal (L7) and Senior Principal (L8). There is also the hidden level (L10) which is for Distinguished Engineers. From what I've seen, in
- Just me or everyone desperately find ways to make themselves miserable Life's great, and I'm living the dream life that I had 5-6 years back! I work barely a couple hours a day and my pay is also higher than what I expected as a new grad, but I am not satisfied with myself. It's not about the pay or the work or the company. I keeping finding ways to make my life miser
- Anyone hiring for a new grad SDE? Referral would be greatly appreciated Hello everyone, I'm a new grad (Jan' 2021) with YOE- 2.5 years in India and an internship in the US.
