It not because of pip or workload but it looks and feels like SDEs are third class citizens. Do the heavy lift. Be on call. Clean up mess others cause Have high bar for promo and get only the stick... In the bum with low TC and most layoff impact and Zero empathy. Do yourself a favor, just pass on Amazon if you are a SDE. PM, TPM, BIE, BA , QA(Amazon still has manual qa who write python and say they are automation QA) Why am I still here !? Visa slave... YOE 13 TC 340K #engineering #software #amazon
What a baby. Gets paid 340k TC and crying about having to do work.
What is stopping you from leaving? I will tell you; $340K TC for 13 yr exp is too high pay. You don’t deserve it that’s why you are still working here. So leave and find another job that pays you this much.
It’s definitely not career suicide. Amazon is the reason I’m getting interviews right now. However - there are way better places to be, no doubt. Unless you enjoy it here, use it as a resume boost and dip after two years.
These things you mention aren’t career suicide, they’re just the less enjoyable side of TC 340k.
You're saying TC 340K is too much your a 13 YOE? Hubspot is paying ~300K for a 5 YOE (@L6 level).
Not sure who asked but thanks for letting us know hubspot 🥴
Who are then the first and second class citizens?
personal life suicide def not career suicide
With 13yoe, you should be a manager nurturing and guiding young engineers to be the best version of themselves
op addressed this re: promo
Why does one have to be a manager at 13 years?!
What's wrong with automating QA?? Be it python, selenium or puppeteer
Life is cheap, money is king
Lol well learnt lesson from Shopify paper money sinking 😂
wow
To be fair OP calls himself a Visa Slave. OP hyperbole deserves the step two response. As a country that has fought a civil war over slaves for economic production, deadliest war for Americans beating the world wars in American death toll. Y'all call yourselves slaves too easily. Culturally insensitive to people whose ancestors were actually slaves. No one is enslaving you, no one tricked you into being here.
