As a newbie blinder I have been hooked to this app and reading so much; for the past few weeks my sleep pattern was so messed up! Also that really bad feeling of seeing so many higher paying folks here and the general complaints negativity and finger pointing. But........ This past weekend I went camping in Kirby Cove by the ocean, overlooking the Golden Gate bridge (I am a huge outdoors person). From Friday afternoon to Sunday evening I went on a digital detox and oh boy its such a nice reset. So good to be in nature and away from the whole buzz. Today morning I checked blind, and after a few scrolls, I just closed it. I was no longer interested. I no longer cared. Go out people, be away, connect to nature, put your phones away, breath some fresh air. what I had over this weekend - No TC can buy! 🌲
Get out of mobile data range!
Sure, nature is better than any TC. But is it better than seeing someone liked your comment on Blind?
People liking my nature pictures on Instagram >> Anon people liking my anon comment on Blind
I honestly am more excited for likes on Blind than on Instagram. None of my close friends really use it, so it's just a bunch of randos I followed one time for some reason. Nothing much of value.
Jokes on you an Albertsons employee was giving out new grad referrals on Saturday night. :)
Tsk tsk! My loss. Anyway what's Albertsons? The grocery store?
Look it up in the Blind search ;)
You forgot the most important thing. TC or GTFO
I say GTFO IRL an aweful lot ever since I’ve been on this app. That’s how it has changed my life. That’ll be all. Have a good day.
Most of the high TCs you see on Blind are due to estimated cost of options in non-IPOed companies (paper money) or companies like FB/Citadel/Lyft/etc. giving high TCs for their poor WLB, bad reputation of employees committing suicide, or low job security. Some of these WLBs are so bad that people move back to their old companies with low TCs. Some others have high TCs because of their 10+ YOE, which is obvious. It's all a bubble. As long as you are making 40x your rent or mortgage yearly TC, you are in good hands. The money balances itself eventually. Life if a lot more worth than wasting it leetcoding.
Did you mean 40x monthly or yearly?
Yearly. If you rent is 2000, then at least 80000 a year base salary (not TC) should be good enough.
Where is the tc or GTFO comment
Nope! Not happening
Let me be your guest. TC or GTFO. 😂
