- Balancing Your Workday As a software engineer, staying up to date and learning new technologies is important. But so is completing your feature work. How do you balance the practicality of working on features/bugs with stretching yourself to learn new things that may not immediately benefit your work. Thinking of P/PC
- Average programmer, looking to be better. Hi, Lately been doubting my coding abilities a lot. I have a masters in CS and 2 years of work exp back from India and 1 year in USA. If I do an LC problem, I am sure I can solve it if It comes up in an interview. But if it's something else, even if it's similar to something I have done before, I
- How to tell manager that I expect a higher hike this cycle? Had a 1:1 with my manager today when he unofficially told me how the new comp is going to look like. He said that I can expect a 40% bump where 25% comes from base and 15% comes from stock (which will be vested over 1-2 years - he wasn't very clear about it). While it may appear as a big bump its ef

Industries of interest, Automotive, gaming, PC hardware. Software, banki
- Dev Plan and Managers' Role After PCS discussion, my manager puts me in Dev Plan like hundreds of other folks. Now the idea is to help me improve my performance. But very less people seem to be coming out of it going by the trend on Blind. Is there any incentive (or threat to their job) for managers that they almost always mo
- Smartsheet company Guys, Is it good time to join Smartsheet as Senior Software Engineer ? Hows overall culture and product’s vision. It seems competition is quite tough as Asana and Trello are also similar young products. What salary i can expect with 12 years experience ? Just finished an onsite and feeling good abou
- Confused! DevList and PCS(salary hike) together? Am I safe? SDE 2, 10 months into Amazon India. Previously: My manager raised performance concerns, sent 1:1 notes to skip manager, blocked my movement to other team. I feared I was devlisted. Worked hard, leetcoded harder per advice from fellow blinders. Now: Today(22 April 2020) during 1:1 manager told that

- vote Should I move away from software engineering? Amazon's SDE I. I've been studying CS and coding for some years now and I like it overall. I get a bit annoyed by the fact that I spend like 12+ hours a day on a screen: work, phone, tv etc. It feels like it's too much. I've not always been the nerdy/pc guy, got into coding since I was analytical

Need I have a personal laptop as some answers on this topic previously mentioned running a virtual machine before receiving the actual laptop.

- Clueless about Career | SDE 1 I'm fresh-grad who joined amazon 8 months back in india. I am clueless about how/what should I work or improve upon. Currently I'm just doing the tasks my L6 manager assigns me. I feel like I'm not learning anything! I have not written a single design doc for any feature till now, my manager is ha
- 2022 PCS into effect I am an SDE II in SEA, TC ~200k (bottom of band), projected TC is 200k for 2022. Let’s say I get TT (would be my first one, I got promoted in April of 2021), per my understanding that brings me to 70% of the band (if we consider 270k the top of the band that would be 249k TC). That means for 2022
- vote Wanting to tradition to SDE - best path? Basically the above statement, but I’m wanting to transition to a more SDE role with goals of FAANG or Disney streaming (this one preferred) . What’s the best path to accomplish this? Currently I’m trying to learn android dev as I know Java and learning Kotlin have been super quick so far, but woul
- Snapchat interview I've succeeded the phonescreen for a senior sde position. They now wants me onsite with... My laptop. First of all i think asking for coding on a laptop is really not a good idea. Not only i had to practice on the 450+ leetcode and hackerrank questions (haha), read introduction to algorithms twice
- How long do we need to wait for Autocorrect to accept Indian (and many more)names? Genuine question and concern so please no trolls. I like “Spelling and Grammar check” and/or “Autocorrect” feature of software applications such as office suite, browsers, etc. However what I have seen is almost all those applications suggest or autocorrect most of the Indian names (applies to lot
- Amazon L6 PMT - Ready to GTFO and leave toxicity behind Got my PCS yesterday. I'm an L6 PMT based in SoCal working for Devices. I started at Amazon as an L5 SDE. It was downright insulting. Base pay increased from 160k to 180k but overall projection decreased from 252k in 2021 to 231k in 2022, an 8% decrease. I got promoted to L6 in Q2 2021 and got 5 RS
- Looking for a mentor Due to COVID and remote working, I got to spend only a month at office. My long term goal is to land at FANMG. (ideally A for Apple instead of Amazon) I am looking for a mentor in the software industry who would help me achieve this goal. I don't need a lot of help but I need some direction. A lit
- I'm feeling trapped When I joined Amazon at the start of 2021 it was the first "real". Job I had ever had. I was being paid 240k as a software engineering manager and it was double the most I had ever been paid in the past. My new pcs came out and I'll make 220k next year. (significant pay cut, plus inflation is 9%)
- Good resources to learn computer hardware? I’m a couple years out of college CS grad who only really knows about software, algorithms and theory. I’ve taken 1 computer architecture class but it barely scratched the surface on hardware. Getting interested in building a PC myself and been watching various videos on motherboards, RAM, GPUs, SS
- Comp Increase Through Stock Increase When I joined Amazon the stock price was $700 ish which has basically trippled now. I am a DE. I get base + RSUs now only. When I do the math, after tax, this takes my salary beyond the normal ranges of what is available outside the company. All the base salaries are higher than what I get now, but
- vote Mac + Gaming(Dota2, EU4, Red Alert) - Which option to select? I heavily use company Macbook for almost everything, but I have plans to change that. I am planning to buy a new mac. I am an iOS developer + I really like Macs and Apple ecosystem. So buying just a PC is not an option. I plan to do iOS/macOS hobby projects, so I don't need super performance (like

- Excuses which can be given to the manager while interviewing in office time? Experienced Software Engineer from India. Manager is weird and want everyone to sit in front of PC all the time, despite having no work. He calls anyone anytime and if someone doesn't pick his call or reply to his email immediately, then he complain about that person to the director. Even if someone
- Meta Background Check Help Hi everyone. I recently signed my New Grad SWE offer for Meta. I am currently going through background check verification process and its giving me the biggest head ache and causing me more stress than the interview process itself. So I’ve never worked for a traditional company or ever had a tradit
