Apparently there's no work being offered for staff, and they don't want to let people know they're doing layoffs - so they're incentivizing people to quit voluntarily to keep brand image https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTLkewvwG/
I joined Meta 1 month back. But now Google finally got back to me to say that I've cleared the HC and asked if I'd like to move to team matching. Since I joined Meta only recently, my TC has not taken a huge hit, however the attrition and overall morale here is a little concerning. On the plus side ...Read more
Joined 2 years back L5 @ 370k. Stock appreciated + stacked refresher, TC is now ~650k (13 YOE, Bay area). Quitting because feel down-leveled. Scope of work has not much impact. No promotion in sight in the next 2 years. Team is good, but lot of work. Don't want to change teams. Got offers from Mic...Read more
Hello I’m 29 years old tired of the corporate life. Even 20hrs / week is way too much of my precious time doing things for someone that I don’t give a shit about. I don’t want to be a part of this industry anymore. I’m thinking of quitting altogether and doing trading to replace my current TC. How t...Read more
Does anyone have any good resources? I'm good for 3 days then I go back a bit. I'm ready for hypnosis at this point.
I enjoy my field of work, but I’m considering leaving Meta since the former is getting a little too stressful and more than half my income is garnished by Uncle Sam (especially NIIT). My main reasons for staying: 1. I would still need health/vision/dental insurance 2. I’m still building up enough e...Read more
Tc: 700k NW( Net worth) : 4.2m Married, with two kids. HHI(Household income): 1.1M Yoe: 11 I plan to quit as soon as that sweet bonus hits my bank account. I hope to take 3 months off to just recharge, and then jump into the market again to start re-interviewing. Wish me luck. #tech
“Quiet Quitting” is lazy. Trying to establish a better work life balance is not an excuse to not try harder or do well at your job. This doesn’t mean you need to extend your job outside of job hours, but it does mean you need to work more efficiently and innovate to accomplish job goals during job h...Read more
RTO was the last straw. Wasn't going to move to stay in my team and don't really care about anything else Amazon does. All these SaaS companies are starting to look cookie cutter to me anyway now. Thinking I could find some more fulfillment in robotics or factory automation. Parents think I'm crazy ...Read more
Has anyone left a tech company for a more monotonous job? Any regrets? After taking a mental health leave earlier this year, I want to hang up the towel and work just a simple job everyday. All the money in the world can’t buy off a feeling of wasting away life.
I currently work in Seattle for Apple but recently they have asked me to move down to bay area office by September. My parents don't want me to move because they want a son around to take care of them. My mom had a heart transplant a couple years back and is now doing excellent. But she lives in co...Read more
My team is incompetent and my manager is one of the worst people I’ve ever met. For context, my team was mainly hired with a bunch of people new to role so there’s been alot of issues. Our team compares horribly to other teams in our region(numbers wise…all the numbers lol). However, I really like ...Read more
It appears that TC for senior level SWE new hires have gone up 20-30% in the past year. (If you're entry level, never mind.) That's serious FOMO territory here. That is the kind of increase that you won't see with a typical merit pay increase (mine is already cancelled out by the US inflation rate)....Read more
Yeah so health folks called from GS—my work from home request was denied even though my doctor made a firm recommendation. I can’t see my new manager and I coming to some understanding about WFH—Idk how to even navigate that conversation. So… Can I get some example 2 week notices in my DM? I’m a...Read more
I'm thinking of leaving. I don't know if i can get hired again; modern swe interviews are very very difficult for me I have $250,000 in cash to live off. I just need to quit, I can't handle working anymore i don't know where or if I'll land. i might just end up living in my car until i can draw...Read more
Amazon and AWS are facing an avalanche of people quitting their jobs. Some senior Amazonians who have started thinking of leaving as well, say that the company dishonesty about the salary increase which seems it was a fake increase is the main reason that Amazonian are leaving the company. Other cla...Read more
I am approaching $2M NW and 31 now. I just paid off my house this year. I realized I can never get to $10M before 55-60 with a 9-5 job. The only way to get to $10M+ while I am young is to start my own company.. no point having all the money if I am too old. I am thinking of quitting my job and jus...Read more
Stuck on the decision of whether I should quit within the first week of joining Doordash? Just recently got an offer from Meta which was unexpected Same location and E4
I’m currently on track to being promoted in Q1. I’m not a big fan of my team or Amazon and planning on leaving soon. I have a couple offers from mid-tier startups and planning to jump ship soon—but the timeline to jump would be pretty much right after the promotion. Is this a bad idea? Should I ju...Read more
