First, I want to make it clear that I’m not working at Intel. This is a friend’s account. I can honestly say that I’m already in a state of depression. I’m currently a postdoc in one of the top 3 universities in the US, a position I’ve held for over 3 years. I had my PhD from one of the top 2 unive
Hello All, I lucked out and was hired as a DevOps about 2.5 years go. It was all going great but now I don't feel like I'm doing much DevOps related work. I feel like I need to work on the skills that will transfer over to my next position. I did a few interviews and realized that my coding skills

Got rejections from a few companies and right now only have a verbal approval from BB (Data License team). Haven't talked offer TC yet but I think my base will likely be 175 based on initial conversation with recruiter, and from what I understand 20-30k annual bonus probably? Have only been at curre

I was dealing with a lot of mental issues, that and the lack of challenge destroyed my motivation along the way. I finally decided to move teams which is when I got put into d
I know Blind is a Backend Engineering driven community, and as a FEE, I feel underrepresented on here. I've been through the hiring process for some of FAANGMULA recently and found the amount of prep material to fall back on ridiculously short as compared to that for BE Engineering - particulaly ar

I just wanted to share my story with Blind. This community has been insightful and helpful throughout my interview process, so I thought I would give back, or at least try to. I will preface this by saying I am very happy with my new TC, despite it not being top tier comp you see on Blind. What yo
Hey blinders! I've started to look for a new job and have had phone interviews. My background has mostly been in startups as a Product Designer, so I've applied to startup companies. But I'm wondering how I stack up to bigger companies, their challenges, and really wanting to learn more from leadin

It's the summer of 2023, right in the heat of July. I'm sitting in a cold, air-conditioned office in the fanciest building in Calgary, staring down an ancient Cisco phone that looks like it's seen better days and a Windows computer that’s so slow, I swear I can see the hourglass mocking me. Just gra

I did a search on blind about this topic but seems like people are divided on the issue. I was prepping hard for Amazon this past month and a few days before my virtual on-site I was contacted by Google about interviewing for their SRE-SWE for Google cloud. Cool, I’m actually really excited about th

Hi! A friend suggested I post here for advice. Thank you in advance for the help, I am extremely thankful for being in this predicament as I am a first-gen immigrant. I had been passively looking to see what's out there for the past year when 2 weeks ago a recruiter reached out. I decided to give i
I’m pretty average dude who made his way to Amazon. In Amazon I’m a top tier YoY. This is mostly because my org does very basic stuff. The traffic is Abysmally low (< 1 tps) but business complexity is high. I’m not really proud when I talk about what I do to anyone. Whenever I explain what I do
