Hi Googlers. Does anyone know Nest PA’s eligibility policy for fully remote work? I realize there are many considerations but I’m wondering what the general policy is for Nest.

Is it bad to boring invest? Sometimes I want th...Read more

So my fiancée and I have started house hunting in the Bay Area. We've accumulated a decent nest egg, but I'm wondering how much we should realistically budget, given that our RSUs will eventually taper off. We're in non-technical roles, so our refreshers are mediocre. I just happened to have gotten ...Read more
I went to a first round Facebook interview, and I requested to be on campus, since the phone can be unclear. *It was for a web front end dev role* So the interviewer asked me to solve the "Maximum Stock Gain" problem. Simply enough, given an array of stock prices, such as from Jan 1 to Dec 31 of ...Read more

For many people, they may be bored and tired of their job. Due to the ascendancy of artificial intelligence an...Read more
I see a lot of people talk about how they're going to retire when they're 45 or how they don't spend any of their equity grant they just invest it. I've seen a lot of posts about how nuts it is to have a $2m mortgage. That all sounds great and all, and I've pretty much ascribed to those beliefs for...Read more
