I thought we were supposed to be escaping Samsara

Why?

It’s a joke about the name. Samsara is like purgatory, a state meant to be escaped so you can achieve Nirvana. Very silly name for a company but I love it here 😂

Found them to be shockingly unimpressive.

People are nice. The work is extremely boring. If you want your skills to die go there.

my work life balance is great, the staff engineers are great mentors and I love the people I work with. seems like a great time to join!

Curious. Could they match 250k for <3 YOE?

We aren’t even hiring junior engineers right now so we definitely aren’t paying them 250k lol
