- vote PhD (Stanford, Harvard & MIT) vs Industry (Google L5) Never had such difficult situation to make a decision. Everyone I have consulted with says "choose what you want to do in your life". But I do not know what I want. I'm turning 30 soon, still an engineer @ Google L5 and expecting a promo within a year or so, working too hard on it. My pay is awesom
- Should I switch to PM (from SWE)? Currently in a team/company (not Amazon) where moving from SWE to PM is relatively easy. I have been a SWE for a couple of years, and I think I'm decent at it but not great. Of course with time I can get better. And, given the fact that I have better people skills than avg devs, I've always thought

- Best Housing Strategy? Moved to the bay last December, and I'm completely outraged. 450FT 1 bedroom apartment in downtown central Sunnyvale costs $2800 per month. Literally WTF?
