I am currently an engineer at T. Rowe Price. I was so excited to land a position here, but I am miserable, bored, and severely underpaid. They do not value technology at my company. The team I am on currently has a significant number of mostly junior engineers outsourced to India through a SOW. Collaboration is nearly impossible with the 10.5 hour time difference. They are responsible for building and delivering the product, and to date they have missed every deadline due to unrealistic expectations from non-technical leadership. The resulting code quality should not have been surprising... but that is another story. Eventually, I will be responsible for supporting and maintaining portions of the product... and I am concerned due to the poor quality code. I am unable to even find the right words to describe the technical debt. It is supposed to have 80% test coverage, but we discovered they are faking coverage i.e. asserting null is null. I have been programming since I was a kid. I consider software engineering a craft and I enjoy what I do. I want to work at a company that values technology and has technical leadership. Ideally I want to be fully-remote and I do not want to relocate. Amazon is nearby, but I have read enough on this app to determine Amazon is not the place for me. I applied to a fully-remote front-end position with Slack today. Can anyone at Slack refer me? In terms of LC, I have practiced some, but I am not looking to work at Google or Microsoft. I merely want to work somewhere that values technology and has a decent work/life balance. I have worked with many technologies, but my preferred stack is Node.js or Python, React, AWS (open to learning GCP). I am interested in learning Go. I also enjoy Vue.js or Ember.js. I am not a fan of Angular. I have an early childhood background in PHP, but I have not touched PHP in years. I know Java as well, but prefer to work in more modern tech at this point in my career. I greatly appreciate any recommendations or referrals. #tech #slack #referral #jobs
What is your TC?
It’s awful. I am 110K TC. 8% of my TC is the target bonus. They are known for underpaying. We get a 12.5% 401k match, but that takes five years to fully vest. I made 30% more (base) in my previous role. I accepted this position because of COVID and I was not sure how the future looked for our industry. They refused to negotiate.
Do all Bloomberg tagged Leetcode questions and join them. Good WLB and they value tech.
Company values investor , not tech/ employees. Come out of illusion. As employee u should care about learning and money.
I definitely care about learning and money. I am not learning or growing right now, nor am I making enough.
Microsoft is a third tier tech firm but we value learning. You get 10k tuition reimbursement to take classes at universities. Maybe that’s what you are looking for.
There is a group called FANG. (A for Apple)
DM if you want AWS referral
I haven’t heard great things about Amazon. How do you like it there?
Depends a lot on the team/org. I haven't dealt with the BS others have but YMMV. Good pay though, and definitely values tech.

Most of the bay area companies. I would recommend going to careers page find an appropriate job match and reach out to people on blind for referrals with job ID. Also reach out job posters on LinkedIn if there is match
I live near Baltimore and PayPal has open positions nearby in Timonium. How do you like working at PayPal?
Now a days location is not a big thing since everyone is wfh anyway...look for open positions that match your profile. Timonium location might be part of paypal credit subsidiary
