Hello Blind,

I am SDE at Amazon and really tired of overworking and also worrying about PIP. Would have been okay with one of them but not both.

I am targeting companies with good pay and WLB. Please suggest others or corrections. List limited to Seattle or companies offering remote.

Here is my list:
Tier 1:
Google (Not cloud)
Twitter
LinkedIn

Airbnb
Pinterest

Salesforce
Dropbox
Adobe
DocuSign
Zillow

Tier 2:
Apple
Snap
Lyft
Uber
Splunk
Microsoft

TC: 225
Yoe: ~6

  • Contrary to popular belief, FB can be super chill and have good WLB if you join the right team and are not gunning for promo.

      Hard part is the β€œfind the right team,” because I burnt out fast when I joined FB because I found the wrong team, and look where I jumped to πŸ˜‚

    You can apply for remote at Google. 50% approval rate, at least in GCP.

    Your list is super weird OP 🀣🀣

    You have Microsoft in Tier-1 but u mentioned good pay n wlb. MS is not even remotely good pay. Its a shit pay company.

    Move AirBnB and Pinterest to tier 1 for god sake. Any sane person will choose them over Adobe Docusign Zillow n MS

    Uber Lyft Snap might not be great at wlb but they are definitely better than Google pay wise.

    Google is also actually close to $hit pay compared to other tier-1 companies pay wise. They give <$390k for senior roles where all other tier-1 easily crosses $400k

      Airbnb and Pinterest both have good wlb from what I have heard/read. Plus their pay is REALLY GOOD so that should account for something.

      MS and FB gave 3 months Covid leave for parents ?? Whatttt???
      None of my MS or FB friends ever mentioned this, are you sure ? This does not sound right unless you are talking about unpaid leave

      Yes. They did. 3 months. FBs reset in 2021 so basically you could take it twice for 6 months off. Thats insane. Plus I know MS has ESPP which is good too.
