I'm trapped at Maven Clinic. I used to have a real job at FAANG before the layoffs. Now I'm stuck here, where the only people who do anything are the other ex-FAANGers who are trapped. Save me from the nothing I've become. YOE: 6 And I used to do real work before coming to Maven. I worked on products that had 1m+ MAU. Now I'm at Maven. We have an altar in our New York office where you can bow down and pray for a real job. TC: Let's not talk about it.
What is the TC though, actually?
You can afford bread but no condiments
Why are you trapped?
Coworkers suck. Product has no users. Product managers stumble all over the place. Internal infra is janky. You can also screw around for a long time before your manager gets on your case.
I actually like Maven and find it super helpful. Doctors in US are not patient friendly in general and short on time. Maven consultation makes a big difference specially for difficult fertility cases. I would hope Maven keeps growing and succeeds. It seems like an attractive acquisition target if nothing else.

Use your skills to make it better. You are getting paid
Yeah
Is it that bad? Going through the interview process right now
Mediocrity will get you an offer, but you'll read the offer and want to stay at AMZN.
Why can't you interview and leave?
I would just quit (esp if you say the pay is negligible) Might be better to spend the time preparing for a job you like. Why aren’t you quitting? Why feel trapped ?? You’re ex-FAANG - I assume money isn’t the driver here
Unfortunately my stint hasn't been long enough. I'd look like a job hopper.
The infra indeed sucks big.
omg I wanted to apply 🥺
