I was an F1 student till Dec 18th last year and then transitioned to h1b on Dec 19th. Can I still use sprint tax to file as a non resident for the entire year? I also sold stock options in May 2018 and gave etrade a W8 BEN form. Was that the right form for my status? Hoping to get advice from peopl...Read more
Hey, I recently went through an interview loop and these are the two finalists. - Coinbase IC6 673k - DoorDash E6 683k I'm looking for growth/scope/impact and willing to give up WLB. I'm really digging the whole Coinbase remote, sprint + 1 week off per quarter vibe. OTOH, I'm not as invested ...Read more
My manager is not there to support any part of my career. He will be either quiet all the time or there will be complains. I am denied aws training of 2 days which could have helped me on learning and building a prototype using tools needed in our project. The 10% learning from training time exists ...Read more
I graduated with a PhD in physics and ML in 2020. Since then I have worked in startups. This is my third one. In the first two startups I was an ML engineer. Sprints planning/reports, daily standups, looking very closely if I slip sprint deliverables even a little bit. It was a never ending churn a...Read more
I’ve done an AMA in the past that had over a 1000 questions. Thought I’d provide an update. Waiting for wfh to end before putting in my notice. 42 plus wife and two kids under 10. $1.1M primary home paid off in Texas. $2.3M (current market value of ~10 single family homes) in cash flow real estat...Read more
I feel like a loser. Specifically the following: I study very hard and get into a company. Try to be nice and work my ass off, to find that i am the last that my manager's "favourite list". I say i find myself as the last coz, i get assigned on tasks that are least impactful (despite delivering eve...Read more
Hello everyone, some background about me. I joined Amazon as a new grad last year and was put on Focus plan in February. I had tried to switch teams and when I told my manager he said I am already in Focus. This was kinda weird as my 1:1 were always positive. Also just got a raise and stock vesting ...Read more
I work in Azure, have a good WLB and am tech leading a small team. I work fully remotely MCOL. Recently promoted Senior SWE at MSFT YOE: 5.5 Current TC: 310K Interviewed to see if I can crack senior interviews externally and what other opportunities may exist. I got two good offers (and some othe...Read more
I got sick last week. Really bad, headaches, I couldn't even read, let alone work. Told my manager, how bad it was, he said not to worry about it, and get better. This week he called a meeting with me to specifically discuss my progress for a task during the sprint, when I was sick, and he said I n...Read more
I'm an SDE with over 10 years of experience as well as experience mentoring junior engineers. The fact is I feel burnt out and unmotivated. I'm looking to make a switch and this is what I've come up with as far as what's important for me: - Low or no oncall load - Good WLB - I want to put in my 9 ...Read more
Hey all, Unfortunately, this is not my first post of the sort. Several months ago I posted about my abusive boss who gaslighted me and humiliated me in front of the team. You guys told me to start looking around and so I did. Problem is that I didn't manage to get hired elsewhere, I think because I...Read more
YOE: ~1.5, previously at Apple and joined Amazon this year. TC: ~180k I was wondering what I could do to set myself up for an L4 offer at G in the next 1-3 years, with FB to leverage if possible. I'm not sure how possible this plan is, but my weeb ass really wants to live/work in Japan for 2-3 yea...Read more
Hi all, tl;dr; Stay far far away if you can help it. I apologize in advance that this is yet another don't join Amazon post. I just feel that it is my civic duty to warn others to stay away if they have any other *viable* options (I know not everyone has this opportunity, and sometimes financially...Read more
Tl;dr - Stay as far as possible, 9 people fired within first two months of hiring, more than 50% of tech team gone within 6 months. PMs run sprint and are incompetent at it. Leadership doesn’t think twice before shouting at their employee in front of everyone in a zoom call. Rumours about VP of engi...Read more
TC 94k, no stock 1.5 YOE (June 2020 grad) NYC but live in NJ Idk how much you know about BofA but I can reaffirm the general sentiment that it’s a slow bureaucratic org that’s slow to adopt new tech, they have way below avg comp, but decent benefits and WLB. My work is like a 3:1 ratio of non dev ...Read more
Sorry, going to be a somewhat long post. I'm an MLE with roughly 2.5 YoE after a physics PhD (with a sprinkle of ML). I'm leaving my job at my current startup just after 8 months. It's been quite stressful, everything is on fire all the time and pretty much everyone is working overtime regularly (a...Read more
Hi everyone, I work at Amazon currently as an L4 PM. I’m in HR/L&D, managing hybrid programs that are both technical and programmatic. In full transparency, I’m not sure that I would be a strong fit for a TpM right off the bat. I do have tech overlap, and I work with developers on my program/am heav...Read more
Update to my post: Turns out this is the hiring manager, not a recruiter. They responded to my email -they wrote me they work hard to make their org a better employer. I believe they have good intentions, but wasn't it Papa Jeff who said that good intentions (by themselves) do not count? Backgrou...Read more
