POLL: being a swe at Google is like being a kicker in NFL
+ get paid very well in the grand scheme of things + Lot's of benefits + Skilled at what you do + prestige + Not a lot of work to do Thoughts? Big facts? π€π€π€π€π€π€π€π€π€#google
It's more like being a punter on a high scoring offense. Maybe take a few snaps a game, but still get paid okay for the job you do. You could screw up, but no one would really care.
π€ yes I like the punter analogy better. When you screw up it doesn't directly translate into lost points/getting piped etc
yo good analogy. Firstly I agree swes are the athletes. Managers are coaches, pms are the referees (no1 likes them) kickers are front end engineers (they off doing their own things π€·ββοΈ), oline are the infra guys, wide receivers are sres and the architects are the qbs
Kicker = miss one big kick and youβre fired π€£
Hmm makes me think of Amazon π€π€ so it's probably not a perfect analogy
