I'm new here, ok? But I get the vibe that ppl here do not care what they do as long as they get the good hourly rate. How to work less, how to get more. But no one thinks about the _content_ of the work! Is it just what Blind is or people actually live like that? On a spectrum between a cashier at...Read more
We are all in this together, everybody has similar goals, why then Blind is so toxic? I understand that total anonymity allows not to care about feelings of others, but just because we can do something, doesm't mean we should. So how can we make this community better?
When ppl post tc do they include their expectation of stock growth in 5 years then average?
Health and family matters a lot more than money. Blind is more work focussed but in my opinion it causes people to stress more about it than they should. One symptom of the problem is that every post has to include TC. I propose that we augment it to also demand two more numbers - Hours you work pe...Read more
What are your favorite Blind cultures?
Amazon Blind channel: "I was PIPed when 9 months pregnant" My new company Blind channel: "They ran out of boiled eggs this morning in the kitchen, I hate it here" Yeah folks, grass is really greener outside of Amazon and people are gonna find ways to complain even at the best of the employers. Al...Read more
There is constant drama about Indian coworkers ethics in this app. Is this just disguised racism or there is some ground to the criticism? It certainly doesn't happen for any other culture. Tc 330k Yoe 8
TechLead started blind culture before it was cool, change my mind TC: 250k
Blind use to have a more acute stance on stating TC and YOE with each post. If you didn’t meet that minimum requirement you were berated with comments demanding you reveal the two. It was a lot more toxic before where you were judged on the context of your post with respect to your current TC and ...Read more
Coming on blind has been an incredibly disgusting and sad experience. This app seems dominated by Indian trolls/pussies/bitches. And ofcouse, all the Indian H1B haters (who I fear are often Indians themselves) Just curious if these users are a) a vocal majority on this app b) a representative majori...Read more
This place used to have culture and life! People could express their opinions here, using whatever naughty words they wanted. You could poke fun at somebody else without getting censored and banned. It was a beautiful place, with people egging each other on to get the best TC and never stop Leetcodi...Read more
I’ve been seeing people offering referrals to people they don’t know. I wonder how they evaluate if the “referree” has the right skills and experience for certain roles. Can someone explain that? I always assumed that if I refer someone I somehow vouch for them 👀
What's with the perpetual victims here? I have noticed a lot of posts are people complaining about what a big victim they are. H1B slave, unfair PIP, too short for girls, every manager is out to get them, RTO so unfair, downlevel so unfair, family asking too much, got ghosted so unfair, houses too ...Read more
I love Blind and have learned a ton about the Tech industry by being here. I think the anonymity allows us to be more open and honest, which I believe is the intent. With that said, a good rule of thumb is to “not do anything you wouldn’t want printed as a headline tomorrow morning.” The anonymity...Read more
Going through the reviews on Blind (both from the company review page and Blind threads) over the past couple years, it seems there is some consistency in the majority opinions: 1. If Brian is involved, esp in product design, you are fucked - micromanaging every aspect of the brand and design look...Read more
As an "oldf*g" from 2012 4chan era, I was surprised when i joined blind and theres a lot of 4chan culture here. Either through direct stuff like "TC or GTFO" which is directly from the 4chan "TITS OR GTFO" trope, to people saying kek, to more subtle stuff like trolling OPs with joke replies like "tr...Read more
There is a nontrivial number of Japanese people on Blind but IMO it very objectively can't be considered "for Japanese" both because English literacy is very low in Japan and I rarely see posts from Japanese. Overall it seems like NA, EU, IN fit on Blind KR has KR Blind (honestly not even sure KR B...Read more
