Rejected Google and decided to join Meta soon and I’m already getting lots of shit from non-tech friends. These are friends who think Google has clean hands btw. I think Meta should be criticized, but I feel they have especially bad publicity because lizard man has the charisma of a rock. Meanwhile, Google gets no bad press for also propagating fake news and conspiracies (YouTube) and invading your privacy/selling all your data. New TC: $360k #meta #facebook #google
software engineers and their first-world problems
Cut them off?
TC or
Don’t be a tech bro and make your whole personality your job
It's lonely at the top TC isn't it
Tell them to go fuck themselves. Unless they're going to pay you 400k to not work there, they don't get a say.
Just do what is best for you and don't give shit about what others think.
Dude - post G and Meta offers first. Meta’s bad public image shouldn’t bother you if you are convinced it is the right culture, product and team for you. They are a top Eng talent destination and set the bar for highest TC at all levels. Next time anyone makes a snarky comment, you can just make a poker face and say “I am going to be just 1 cog in a giant wheel, need to pay my bills”
G was low 300s
Go to Gab.
