- Are you stuck in a social tech/class bubble? Is that bad? I've realized since working in tech, more and more of my social circle is other tech folk. I do keep in contact with friends from college but realize I can't talk too much about my goals, life or spending because it's a bit out of scope for them. One of my friends I can be completely transparent wit

- Changing job for higher TC. Would it be better in long term Hi everyone, It's getting crazy in Tech talents recruiting in Seattle. The situation encourages people to change their employer after 2 years or so for 30-50% higher TC. I am just wondering, what would be the professional accomplishment if ones just move so frequently? For the entry levels, that mak
- Entitlement I've noticed a great amount of entitlement recently on blind. Amazonians complaining about being overworked and underpaid. Be honest with yourself.

- Driving Clarity - Microsoft Levels I’ve always found levels at Microsoft as a very confusing to outsiders. So let me tell you one or two things. Don’t ever accept an L59 offer unless you’re a new college hire with no industry internship experience. It’s a scam. The expectations at L59 are can you clone a repo; can you check in code w
