- what has been the biggest factor in impacting your pay/time ratio? - between senior vs staff vs tech lead, which role is typically easiest to OE with? (For example, as tech lead you can delegate harder tasks to others. But as senior, you can give less shits and get away with it. As staff, you can pick your own simpler projects) - what time range is easiest during the job? Onboarding? 3 years in, where you know the job so well it takes you 2 min to do anything? - between: working 2 harder jobs (assume Microsoft+Okta) for $600k vs 4 easier jobs (capital one, Walmart, Aetna… etc). Which is better and why? - what combination of jobs work best? 1 FAANG and 1 chill job? Or 2 mediocre jobs? - how do you get out of meetings? Or do you just mute/audio off and use captioning to tell when your name is called? What excuse is best for getting out of meetings? - what industry/sectors is best for OE? - which tech stacks are best for OE? Or is it better to become the best at one stack and only use that? - legend speaks of people with 10 jobs. Is this still possible to acquire in today’s job market environment? Please comment on any of these questions! Or any general great advice for SDE trying OE would be greatly appreciated! Tc: 200+150. 10 yoe
Yeah your workload is more likely to be team specific rather than company specific
Oh fuck. That’s scary
I think that's true for most companies that aren't small. If you're working on a core product, workload is going to be heavy. If you work on a tool that is basically forgotten, your workload will be non-existent.
r\overemployed Also don’t assume job at capital one, Walmart etc is easy lol.
Oh wow. That’s good to know. I hadn’t worked there, but had 2 friends from capital one and they told me they slacked like no other (compared to MSFT). Maybe it’s team dependent ?
For the Reddit thread, I always thought it wasn’t very tech oriented like blind is. Do you find that subreddit is pretty tech friendly?
