- Internal do not hire list @tdameritrade I recently was told by a hiring manager that this company has a secret do not hire memo that’s sent out to hiring managers with a list of people not to hire for internal roles. I am on that list, I’ve never had a bad performance review, I have not had any sort of disciplinary action t
- Are we in a state of deflation due to the pandemic? The money we have has slightly more purchasing power because corporations and small businesses are desperate to stay afloat, instead of focusing on large profits. eg. Rent, mortgages, travel, etc. Even food delivery services took a hit because people have more time to cook due to wfh. Does that mea
- GME will go up!! Keep holding guys!! Guys!! We're bringing down Wall Street!! Greatest wealth transfer in history! David vs Goliath! They HAVE to buy! I canceled by $1000 limit because GME will easily be 10,000!! Don't worry about the dip guys, VW dipped too before spiking therefore GME will also spike!! And if the price doesn't moon,
- Solar Inverter at Inverter.com If solar panels are the brawn of your solar energy system, the solar inverter is its brain, and they work together to ensure you get the maximum amount of electricity. Most people are familiar with solar panels because they’re the most visible part of a solar power system, but the solar inverter is

- United States Digital Service (USDS) Anyone know about these people or work directly with them? Wondering if the work they do is legit or if it's lost in bureaucracy. Worth ditching a Silicon Valley job for 3-6 months to do it? Theoretically the access to power players/opportunity sounds good, plus DC would be an interesting chance o
- How to get in early on a vaccine No, my family won't qualify by any of the standard priorities. Yes, this is incredibly selfish, but hell this IS Blind after all. We all know rich people and VIPs will somehow be getting the upcoming vaccines early. Money and power rules in this country after all. I'm in tech, I've got some money I
- Off topic - how to reduce Myopia in kids Different topic . But I am looking answers from people whom I trust. MY 8 year kid had a checkup and looks like his eye power is -3.0 . I am very worried . This could be genetic because I am wearing glasses since I was 9. Is there anything that worked for your kids ?
- vote Aspiring Entrepreneurs in blind Since a lot of us don't have enough resource to startup on our own, why not use the power of community? Are you interested in being a part of a community where people are passionate about building products, brainstorming on ideas, investing money, time,and skills to build something? If yes, DM me, I
- vote Netflix vs Apple vs Twitch Help me choose what’s best for my next step! I’m really ambitious, eager to learn and grow technically and in leadership. I deeply care about having impact. I am a SWE working on infra stuff. Twitch: Pros Company is growing quickly and I love their product. I guess since it’s Amazon, people want
- vote Anyone heard of never outshine the master? Why do people want me to outshine the master? Its literally the Number 1 law in the 48 laws of power (best selling book by robert greene). I am pretty shocked that no one feels this way. Wont my seniors hate me if I am way better than them? Can someone explain why these people are hinting that its
- Home gym vs membership I’m a skinny 31 year old guy looking to pack on some muscle and start weight lifting, now the new year is starting I will have the $1500 fitness benefit to spend. I want to do compound lifts (bench/deadlift/squat) which will require a bench and a rack (maybe power cage)? I don’t really live close to
- Let’s talk about facebook Facebook people, don’t you think facebook completely failed in their mission of making the world “more open and connected” and instead it’s one of the main reasons for how divided US right now? To be honest I feel really really scaried because if we learnt anything it’s that the only thing Mark Zuc
- Bullying boss - belittling and use intimidation tactic Will be quit soon. Reported this to HR but they ignored me. I have plenty of proof (chat messages) - should I send the proof to the CEO? I hate someone who uses their power to put down people. Examples bullying: - using higher/aggressive tone such as Do you understand?, or WAIT when we spoke at the
- will election unease cause big market dips? I know we’re mainly tech people here but many I know are investment savvy as well. I personally invest heavily in index funds and tech. I’m sure you’ve all seen articles about (potentially) not having a peaceful transfer of power if trump loses (or something of the sort) would this be a time to pull

- Unicorn in Cali vs Amazon in Texas Hardware Engineering NEW GRAD, can’t decide between 2 offers. California job is a design job where I’d learn a lot (PCB design, high speed design, power design), whereas Amazon is at Annapurna Labs and I’ll basically be doing remote support for their AWS servers before the possibility of designing P
- How do you keep up the LC motivation People on here casually throw Leetcode counts like 300 and even 1000. How do you guys stay motivated to solve so many? With job, gym and family in the equation, I find it hard to grind LC problems back to back. Often times I get stuck and sometimes simply too frustrated and mentally drained that I
- What does it feel like to take modafinil/armodafinil when you don’t have a sleep disorder? I’ve been reading a lot about people taking modafinil and other nootropics. I take 250mg of armodafinil daily (prescribed for narcolepsy). I still take a nap during the day and fall asleep within minutes at night. I see people saying that modafinil and armodafinil make them feel unstoppable, like t

- High integrity tech companies in Bay Area ? Most top companies seem to have a liberal face and pretend to operate with high integrity but the true north that the executives are chasing is just money. Is there any large company in bay area which has consistently operated with high integrity and stuck to good values? Facebook Fake motto - co
- Is DoorDash like Tesla 5 years ago? I’m curious what the sentiment around Tesla was like 5 years ago? Were they the laughing stock? It seems all so different now that their stock is through the roof. I remember even a year ago DD was a laughing stock and every “rate my offer between these companies” always had DD in single digit perc

- Best corporate power moves Any good corporate politics power moves? Mine is, invite everyone + management to a meeting but don't send the relevant documents to everyone. In fact, don't send separate invites to certain people and don't mention anything about a document (e.g. design doc). They come into the meeting looking lik
- Has anyone ever made a complete career change OUT of tech? I'm guessing these kind of people wouldn't be lurking here, but worth a shot. I'm thinking in terms of the FI part of FIRE, doing a job that you're passionate about without stressing about the money (if your passion is genuinely software engineering, more power to you). Lowkey thinking of quitting
- @Google HR - what can you do ( if u can do anything at all) for a shitty manager ? A star resource left the team as soon as this manager started as it was easy to c the incompetence, second on the door and the third one looking .. !! Management doesn't do much and that encourages these managers to continue being shitty people manager !!! Or maybe we know Google or no Google HR ha
- I need some hookups for FAANG or company with a good TC for Data Analyst or PM roles Tired of working at T-Mobile. TC doesn’t increase but workload easily does with the Merger and stuff. A lot of people leaving due to short staff, weird WLB and/or better offers somewhere else. I am really good at SQL, Tableau, R, Power BI If somebody can help, I’ll appreciate. #telecom TC - 100k
- What's up with Capital One? #capitalone I had my power day at Capital One. It was 6 hours long. It has been three weeks since my interview and they even did not let me know any feedback. The recruiter was very responsive until the interview day. Now he is not even replying any email. THIS IS SO UNPROFESSIONAL AND DISRESPECTFU
- People who went from Eng to PM Why did you make the move? PM job looks cool and they seem to have a lot more power over products than eng. So I talked about this idea to a few, and people say it's an awful choice - PM gets paid less with less job stability. Is it true? Anyone made a move like that and either loved/hated it?
- I think my team lead is a sociopath He has 3 yoe but managed to get senior position by threatening to quit, then got lucky with team lead position because other TL left. He constantly points out flaws of others, never his own. Hijacks meetings to get a word in and to look smart, without saying anything of value. Has shared plans for h
