- Go for PM Manager vs. IC First, I’m grateful for all the generous contributors at Blind, I really learned a lot from you. I’m a G12 senior manager of a SaaS PM team at Cisco. I’ve been approached by AWS, Amazon, FB sourcers but are all for IC PM roles. When I asked to be interviewed for a manager role, I’m not getting gr
- Should i apply via linkedin or search for referrals I am applying for ML and new grad roles in various companies, right now i am just exploring opportunities on linkedin and haven't applied. I am confused while applying that should i find some referrals first and then apply or i can just apply for the roles without any referrals. And if i apply via l
- Is this manager micromanaging? So I have this new manager who keeps pinging for updates even after giving updates on stand-ups and team meetings. And his tone is usually like “PR should be ready this by day X” even for very little things, than “Can we have this by X?” or a more lighter tone — for pretty much any little thing. I
- vote Should I wait for F and G? I did a large round of interviewing and was able to secure offers from recently IPOed companies and soon to IPO companies. Also very optimistic in receiving an offer from LinkedIn. One of my biggest regrets was not being able to try Facebook and Google. I was told by Facebook that they are out of e

- Angst after positive hiring manager interview for DS role Hello, Is this angst justified or am I being unreasonable? Had a hiring manager interview on Monday and I felt that it went very well. At the end of the interview, the hm told me that he would be moving me to the next phase, which I believe is them providing me data and having me build a model. M
- vote Why do I have nightmares Blind is full of shit posts about amazon. Lots of posts mention bad WLB. I don't think that's case. I worked much longer hours at another FAANG before amazon, and I was excited, productive and happy. At amazon, I finish my work in at most 25-30 hours a week and play video games for the rest. Recent
- Apple Paris general question Found an interesting offer at Apple Paris for a position similar to the one I'm currently in, before applying I was looking for some general information: - How is the office space?

- Work culture at Roku and VP of Search-Recommendations Roku peeps, I have been reached out for positions at Roku twice. Initially I declined the recruiter interest as the role was in the search-recommendations team. Apparently reviews about the VP running that org are really bad. Some Roku peeps also pinged me and talked the reality and scared me off

- Recovered from burn out? Can anyone share their story of burnout recovery? Context is my job is good, pays well, and consumes relatively few hours (though lots of pings), I'm grateful.

- Is this discrimination? I work at tier 2 company wherein we have crazy workload often. I am in Team A while we support Team B in the operations.

- Stuck with unresponsive Amazon recruiter Amazon recruiter reached out to me a few month ago and asked if I'm interested in a certain role at lab126.

- Recruiter stopped emailing me? I'm in a strange spot. I was chatting with a recruiter for a company I used to work for in the hopes I might be able to land a job back with them.

- Stress and fear 24/7 at amazon Always scared and worried around the clock of getting a pip plan, a LE rating, deadlines pushed earlier I couldn't meet.

- Do NOT JOIN TEAMS IOS Hello, not sure if it’s just me or other feel the same way, but I moved to microsoft thinking I would get great WLB. Oh boy was I wrong. I joined in December last year.

- How do I deal with this colleague? I started working with this new colleague who joined newly in our team. This guy pays very little attention in the KT. Later he calls directly and spends too much time over the call. A few days back I gave a kt on a codebase and gave very low level details regarding that. I even recorded that sessi
- Working on setting up a Leetcode workshop - Any Interest? As a part of my l33tc0de adventures, I spend quite a bit of time exploring leetcode. What I felt was that in addition to "solving" it there is a method to the madness of internalizing the approach. Solving 5/10/50 or 100 questions is irrelevant, what seems to matter is how you are internalizing the
