- Capitalism 🍌 Venting out. Capitalism will kill this planet and living beings are already dying. And guess what who will be the first one to board the life ship? The top 1% who lead this all and made it a second priority. No longer motivated to grind and make those top 1% more rich because it's all relative and n

- vote Gates Tops Bezos Bill Gates has just surpassed Bezos as the richest person on the planet according to Bloomerg. Pretty good effort since I thought he was giving all his wealth away. Seems like he needs to try a bit harder. Will this lead to banana rationing at AMZN in an effort to get back to #1? Poll options are
- How is wildlife thriving in Chernobyl? Just finished Ep 8 of ‘Our Planet’ on Netflix. Highly recommended. In the 8th episode they show wildlife is thriving in Chernobyl but don’t explain how. Most likely because the absence of humans, but if humans can’t live their due to such high radiation levels then how are animals doing just fine?

- Where do you see yourself in 5 years? I was asked this question during managerial interviews last week for a senior role at MSFT. I answered that I would love to have my own business, have the experience of using multiple hats, facing customers day in and out. Everyone frowned at me like I was from a different planet. Anything wrong in
- vote Lyft Level 5 Employees — Should I join? I heard Level 5 is getting new comp packages from Woven Planet after the acquisition. Any Level 5 employees willing to talk about what’s going through your mind? Are Level 5 people quitting / looking for exits en masse? What’s the morale like as a whole from ICs? I have an offer as a SWE and I’m
- Language agnostic — not so much Recently interviewed with Linkedin, chose Python. Interviewer wasn’t familiar with Python. Used heap and he got all confused with its api. Eventually started giving me hint on how to do it using Java. My python solution worked but couldn’t convince him. Of course not supposed to hit the tun button
- vote Lives do not matter at Amazon? I joined Amazon last year. I was given heavy workload and unusual meeting timings with away team in other countries.

- Tax on global income Do you think US will ever stop or provide relief on tax on global income to citizens? We are one of the only 2 countries in the planet who does this to their citizens. When corporations pay zero tax on earnings in tax havens, why would people be penalized if they have earnings there? Many US citize
- Why do Microsoft, Google, Uber etc give projects to service based companies ? Hi, Microsoft, Google, Uber & other top product based companies out there have thousands & thousands of engineers working as full-time. But still they give projects/work to service based companies like TCS, Infosys, Yash technologies, Wipro, Cognizant etc. That is why these service based comp
- Meaningful work at Tesla Currently at Amazon TC 400k YOE 15 Been in conversations about a role at Tesla. So burned out in my current role. Feel like I’m just working on technology that contributes nothing of substance to the world. Enticed by the dream of working on a mission of real meaning and saving the planet. But is
- Should I have a second kid? My 6 year old boy doesn’t want younger siblings, he says they are annoying. My husband kinda wants a girl but he has left the decision to me. I would like a girl but I am not sure I will get one. I like playing board games with my son or reading. Basically I like to do things with him that I enjoy
- Earnings Season Predictions With earnings season upon us, what are your predictions? Tech, Non Tech, anything. I think CROX will beat estimates. Though it has been on a tear, it’s only recently reached its pre covid share price and has room to grow. Personally, I think theyre the ugliest things on the planet but for some reas

- Bay Area homeowners - do you worry about climate change? We are now in the biggest drought of the last 100 years, and expecting a horrible fire season. If the planet keeps warming, we may see the Bay Area becoming increasingly water scarce, and prone to long fire seasons with the possibility that your home will be impacted. Even otherwise, the air quality
- Harassment at Adobe / Forter I hope this post can help others not be in the same situation I was in. I was sexually harassed, bullied, and had a smear campaign ran against me during my time at Adobe. Adobe uses a third party fraud vendor called Forter. An exec from Forter sexually harassed me on multiple occasions and tried st
- link Those going to Canada… Before you go you should check how much houses in Vancouver and Toronto cost and how quickly they rising… For the slightly cheaper cities like Ottawa you should investigate if you can stomach a -25F weather as a common norm during winter and 80-90F in summer.

- vote Chances of WFH through all of 2021 due to covid? How likely is your company to allow you to keep WFH through 2021? After you factor in taxes, my 100k TC at home with parents and no rent is at least equivalent to 120k TC while living with a roommate. I'm hoping WFH is here to stay for all of 2021. The money saved helps me and many others pay off
- International remote jobs that pay US like salaries? In a few years I’d like to work remotely from wherever I please on this planet. I’ll even work at nights if I must so that I’d be aligned to North American work hours. Are there any companies out there that pay at minimum 150K USD and let you work anywhere in the world?
