Good WLB is 5 hours a week at Bloomberg or Google. Or even the occasional 0 hours of work outside of meetings. Oh also, meetings don’t count as hours of work. Saying you’re blocked during standup is not taxing to your mental capacity. Talking about how the sprint went last week and giving yourself kudos in the retrospect is not considered working. Sure the occasional design doc can be considered working, but that happens what, twice a year? Stop saying meetings is work and that’s how you add up to 40 hours a week. 40 hours of work a week is not only not good WLB, it’s TERRIBLE WLB. Which companies can I get away with 10 hours or less of work a week? TC: 180 YOE: 1
Have you ever worked at a place that is less than 40hrs/wk (avg)? Let me tell you from experience. The grass (and bananas), you’re sitting on is a lot greener. An unchallenged mind is not a great feeling.
I'm living through that right now and I hate it. Also, there is no opportunity for growth, since I don't receive enough/important tasks. Everyone in my org just pretends to be building a product. And when I interview I got no good experience to show, no learning to exhibit.
Idk, working 3-4 hours a day is pretty fucking great
All this realization coming from Amazon? 🤔
In dream
Any tips for getting hired at Roblox?
Lol! 10 hours 😂 should the work also be in those domains which you know of?
Naah. Repeat of the work OP has already done before.
This is a very insidious mentality to have as someone with just 1 YOE. ~30-40 hours a week is relatively standard across the world. If you're looking for somewhere to coast, say so without making baseless generalizations. You might find some luck in government based agencies.
Not at LM unfortunately.
At Microsoft, specifically Teams 1st party apps.
40 is too much for good wlb but 5 is too hard to get tbh without being at some shit govt job or a bank in bumfuck Mississippi
To me, avg 5-10 hours meeting + 15-25 hours coding/documentation per week is GOOD WLB
That’s fucking terrible WLB bro. Time to LC and GTFO
So 30 hours per week is a terrible WLB now? Do you mind share the Amazon org/team. I’m interviewing but never considering Amazon due to blind horror stories😂.

Why are meetings not work? For me if it is related to the company whether it is meetings, emails, messages, code, whatever everything has to be considered into total hours worked per week.
Exactly! It's certainly not a hobby of mine. It's work.
Ok, then don't get paid for your time spent at meeting. Give your salary back.
No u 🤡🤡🤡
Santa claus is real compared to the 5hr at g thing. 🎅🦌
I have it on good authority from the 🍌 man.
There are TONS of teams at G with 5 hours of work a week
