- Getting old The worst part of being an adult is that you cant blame on anything. You can’t say you are just a kid and don’t know how world works. You know exactly how world works and good or bad or fair or unfair, it’s all on you. Get up and walk again. Musings of an 30 year old engineer. #musings #tech
- vote What would it take for you to join Amazon? I have no vested interest in the ongoing shitstorm around Amazon eng culture and I'm quite happy at my current company, but I was idly musing to myself wondering if there was any way Amz could make me an offer I'd actually be willing to take. I think if they were to offer a 3-day workweek for somew
- Masks while eating out Sometimes I don't understand the new Covid 19 norms. People go out with their masks on. Put down their masks while eating at overcrowded restaurants. After finishing their meal, they put the masks back on and come back home. Isn't this like putting on a condom AFTER having sex? #sunday #musings
- link Red flags during interviews/ job offers (when to walk away?) What are red flags to look out for in interviews that make you decide the company/job isn’t right for you? What makes you decline a job offer despite a good TC and/or brand? In one interview with the hiring manager and his direct reports, I asked about team culture and how they collaborate. There
- Prep Solo or Co-Prepare? How are folks handling interview prep? The process is fairly daunting (900+ LC questions, 500+ pages of System Design, loads of self reviews). Preparing for Interviews seems like yet another full time job. How many hours are you spending on this, in how many months? Do you think this can be redu
- link Did you experience “shift shock”? This article [1] about how people moved jobs got surprised that the role wasn’t what it all chalked up to be had me thinking about individual experiences here on Blind. I’ve relied heavily on this community as I explored options to move companies and ultimately decided to stay when Google counter-of
- Interview coaching? Anyone try a service? SF Bay Area. I am getting lots of requests to interview, so my resume is great, and, I am a very competent worker. I am getting all the way to the last decision maker, the executive in charge of the department, and then, I’m getting a no. I need some help with this last interview. Has anyone tried a coaching ser
- Anyone else bored af with tech? 🤔 Random musings lately have me feeling some type of way. This year more than ever, I have found myself becoming so numb to the repetitive ebbs and flows of the day-to-day work and chatter in tech. Kinda feels as if this space has been getting oversaturated since early 2017, same shit different day,
- Am I too much of a generalist? //writing this as a part of a random string of night musings after a few hits of weed I was recently promoted to sr and a sudden wave of imposter syndrome came at me. So I got my degree in physics not cpsc so I grinded as a QA/tester for a few years before making it to Msft and then another well re
- Working in China (Shanghai) Hi, I recently received a 235K TC (including benefits) job offer in China (shanghai) EDIT: i think we have someone below that didn’t understand this is USD. 1.5Million RMB. I know China relatively well as i go there a lot for work and i can speak the language with 80% fluency. Can read a basic ne
- link I've started my FIRE journey in India! (Part 1: Intro and Net Worth) There's no shortage of posts here on Blind where people ask how much one needs to FIRE in India and then responders throwing around random numbers that range from practical to downright stupid. There however are hardly any first-person accounts of folks that have truly retired early. Nobody seems to
- link Trump timeline of comments--he is responsible for needless death of Americans Why Trump is a threat to our health and economy. He is utterly incompetent and not a man of science. For those trying to make excuses for him--USA is not testing and we cannot fight something we refuse to detect and see just to "keep the numbers" low. #DontTestDontTell is almost CRIMINAL and I hope
