- Looking to get into PM roles in tech Hi y'all, My current company took me up part-time, promising to convert it to full-time once COVID calms down. However, now they are backing out on that last-minute after squeezing out as much work from me as possible. Feeling down, but not out. That said, I'm looking to get into tech - big tech,
- vote Is Two Sigma still a top company for engineers? It's no question that Two Sigma pays engineers as much as Google and Facebook. There have also been a few anecdotes in the past that its culture and general treatment of employees is excellent and quite similar to Google's. However, Glassdoor seems to tell a different story, especially recently, wi
- What software do you use for financial planning / budgeting and why? Personally, I use YouNeedABudget (~$85 per year) for monitoring monthly expenses and identifying problem areas. I think it really excels at that and has helped me identify and cut out about $1000 in monthly expenses in just two months of using it. I have my regular accounts and credit card linked to

- L3 New Grad -> L5 in ~2 years, AMA! Promo'd to L5 today, just over 2 years after starting, post-masters. Google treats BS and MS candidates the same.

- vote Great Offer. But keep interviewing? Hello everyone, After many job applications and lots of LC, stressing, and interviews I managed to land a great new grad offer at Capital One in my desired location.

- Jane Street Phone Screen I had a phone screen at Jane Street for their Software Engineer Role. Wanted to know how long before they get back and how was my performance I cant share the question, but one thing that came up was the interviewer was directing me quite a bit to what he wanted For example I assumed the two lists

- Mutual Fund TRBCX (Growth) vs VTSAX (total market) I have large % of my 401K in TRBCX from the company I was previously working at. They didn’t offer any better options besides this one so I had no choice but to put money in this. TRBCX gave out large capital gain distribution and since than price has been dropping continuously. Drop is double than
- Which opportunity is better? Been a SWE for 12 years. I was at Wells Fargo for first 11 years and could never find the right opportunity to jump to tech manager.

- I’m conflicted about my 2-3yr career goals. Need advice? So I have all these goals that conflict with one another in multiple ways. For example: I aim to target Netflix next summer 2021, and will heavily prepare in order to maximize my chances. I’m genuinely very excited by the culture memo & deck. Netflix is in Los Gatos/LA and not in the South FL area
- Student loan interest rate The interest rate from Fed is almost zero now. In my understanding, the near-zero interest rate is not for regular consumers but for the large banks. One justification is that large banks are less risky than consumers. Still, I have ~800 credit score and never missed a payment for the past 10 years
- Investing/finance tips for a new grad? I started fulltime earlier this year and realized that I had ~$100K just sitting in the bank and collecting dust.

- Get bonus in RSUs or Cash? My company offers us the ability to receive our bonus in 100% vested RSUs in lieu of cash.
