Bye bye blind! See you next interview season!
I am uninstalling blind tomorrow morning and wanted to share few parting thoughts :)
I was at same job for 4 years and I was on the market for a new job. Blind was a major source of inspiration and the resources here helped me succeed with interview prep, selecting companies and negotiation. I landed 6 offers and part of the credit definitely goes to Blind.
Blind also brought out the worst in me. I am usually a happy person and have always been satisfied with the money I make and enjoy working and learning. But now I constantly browse Blind and compare myself with people with higher offers than me and lower years of experience. I find myself measuring my worth in the money I make and my career level and I feel like a loser. This is not good for my mental health and Blind is not an app for me long term.
So it's time for me to say goodbye but I will be back next interview season!
Thank you to everyone who helped me out! Y'all are awesome 😎.

Some don’t have a good WLB. If you get 250-400 k (combined income from household) you can live like a king in LCOL area. With all the extra hours, you can have your side income going on as well. No need to think of early retirement when you’re working only 4 days a week 10:00 -3:00 !!
