I’d stay away from VMW until post-Broadcom acquisition / their layoffs

No not playing lol

how was the asana interview

It's a question of "Production Engineer" vs "Software Engineer" Nothing wrong with PE, but if you want to stick with traditional Software for your career, stick with a traditional SWE. Not sure if VMware is that, but if it is, I would take that over Asana.

Oak Street Health mfiea OP Sep 21, 2023

Except asana isn't strictly production engineering it's a hybrid SWE and pe role though unlike fb. They said it was closer to google SWE-SRE I can switch to other SWE roles if I want. I don't think it's exactly a question of pe vs SWE.

+1, SWE-PE is different than PE. Backend dev role with production engineering. Roblox about that bro culture?

ex-Google boozn Sep 21, 2023

Stick to Asana, much safer than VMWare and it is not like Meta's PE role. It is more of a backend role. Hock Tan will enforce RTO and layoffs.

VMware is sinking ship, Avoid

VMware WKxU58 Sep 21, 2023

How is it a sinking ship when someone agreed to pay $69 Billion for it?

You are self answering yourself

What's the difference between swe and pe? Did you negotiate yet?

Oak Street Health mfiea OP Sep 23, 2023

It's not a pe role. Check other replies.
