This is for a L4 junior SDE position in the retail side doing ML related work. I did a short term contract at FB and did absolutely nothing (I didn’t write a single line of code), and felt constant imposter syndrome since I am also a bootcamp grad. I had no support or onboarding and basically crash

I realize that everything I’m about to say is biased to my experience, but I’d like to paint an accurate picture of my experience of Amazon vs broader tech. Context: I came from 5yrs at Google to a niche team at Amazon. Prior to Google, I worked in consulting - so I know what good and bad WLB is.

This is my recent job search story. I'm sharing it here because blind was a great resource in understanding company culture and TC potential, and I'd like to thank you all. I left meta nearly a year ago after being there for many years. Great company, smart people, good TC. They got me a green card
Did my PhD in wireless communications in 2022 and have been with my current employer since then. Work is good and WLB is great, but the prospect of future growth is limited.

I work at Microsoft, and have ~2 YoE in the CoreOS org working on low level OS stuff (kernel/hypervisor etc). Though work and culture is great, career growth in this org is very slow even though I am a top performer. In general the ladder at Microsoft does not seem like it is worth climbing (at leas
I'm used to seeing tons of Type A people at work and on Blind, i.e. people who are very hard-working, a little high strung, prone to anxiety but ultimately very ambitious and organized with a clear pursuit of goals. I wanna hear the experiences of Type B personalities. How do you survive in an envir

Hi, last year I left Google as L4. I was reached out by recruiter recently asking if I wanted to come back (there will not be any interview). I asked for 100% remote-CA (and permanently) and recruiter said they would try to find teams that are open to it. As for my current employer, I like the team

Hey, I am currently a PM at FB. I have decided to move on and currently have multiple offers, notable ones are from Uber, Lyft, Cruise and Compass. I really wanted to get into RE Tech but Compass is cheap ass with their offers and equity they offered was 1/10 of my offers from Uber / Lyft. Cruise i

Many posts claim that while tech offers may seem lower than top quant firm offers, it would beat the quant firm offers with stock appreciation. As an ex-F/G employee (and aS a MiLlIoNaIrE) with first-hand knowledge of compensation structure in both tech and finance, I decided to do some calculation

I'm looking for a remote product leadership role. Generally, these require knowing someone or waiting to be headhunted. I do get recruited for executive searches, but it's a slow process and I'm hoping to take control. Meta is not the company where I can be the type of product leader I want to be.
