I made a post earlier (deleted it so that I don't get tracked down by employer). Learned a lot from the insight you guys provided, which makes me want to make this post. You are now 22 years old, you just graduated university, what do you do? How does that differ from what you did back when you just graduated? #tech #faang #fang #google #microsoft #amazon #facebook #uber #doordash #career #life #happymoney #advice #help #netflix #software #tc #engineer #hulu #yahoo #qualtrics #apple #IBM #finance #relationships #shopify
Join Shopify immediately rather than reject their offer
What happened after you rejected their offer? Why are you at Amazon rn?
Don’t fight with people. Esp. When they become leaders later on?
What would you fight with people over?
Projects and scope . Wish I was more collaborative
Would have stayed in NYC or a larger city for a while instead of moving back home after my internship.
Did you end up returning to NYC?
No, I didn’t. I’m from a very small town. I moved back home, got a job at a small company, basically feel like I stalled my career and put a limit to my experiences. I just feel I could have learned a lot more than I did in those first few years working. I regret not taking a bigger risk. I’m in a good place now, but in hindsight realize I could have had a lot more opportunity had I stayed.
Yeah, choose your battles. Make some false promises/white lies to get support then deliver your project and by that time whoever you're trying to get support from will have moved on and you will be able to show you delivered something.
I don't really understand. Promise stuff to x -> x leaves -> promise to x no longer matters Are you saying the above chain of events makes promises a useful tool?
Yes. See you will find yourself in a meeting where a senior manager or someone with power over you will raise some senseless argument. Either they don't trust you or they are paranoid or they haven't actually read your design and just want to have an opinion. Depending on your perception of how technical this person is, if they aren't technically smart just say, yes thank you for the feedback, we will incorporate it, we will add it to the backlog whatever. Don't contest it because most likely they will forget about it in a few weeks. Gaining their trust is more important than technicalities. If they are technically smart, you can try to make a sound argument. If they insist, meet them halfway, don't say no unless you know they're your homies. In some teams if you say no people will think you're not a team player, even if you had all the reasons to say no. In better teams this doesn't happen because good engineers will tend to converge on the same solution generally speaking.
I stuck by my style and principles, doing what I thought was right for the organization and staying loyal for too long. It failed me in money and status, especially with a high spending wife of no income who eventually got half in divorce. Better is to view yourself as a mercenary in a game to be solved, taking on risks and opportunities. Move around to find the right opportunity and growth, go all in on it, then move to the next one at the right time, whether solved or failed. Don’t expect anyone to hand you your next opportunity unless you are aggressively building your brand and network, showing your worth every day.
Any tips to spot a wife who just wants to take half your stuff and leave? Also what do you do now to build your network?
don’t drink. just find out what you want and get it
don't drink with your coworkers or just in general?
partying is overrated. people are overrated.
Don' feel like you're not good enough and accept the first offer you get just because interviewing is hard
this is really nice advice.
I followed this and glad I did because I've been getting a lot of rejections from the other companies I applied to
