Bye bye blind! See you next interview season!

Aug 4, 2021 42 Comments

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 😎.
