I’m sick and tired of FANG and the usual suspects. I’m pretty sure there are a lot other companies that have good culture and pay well. Obviously, I don’t want to take a pay cut, but I want to try something different. I’m okay if it’s not popular and famous. I’m okay if it’s outside Bay Area or even outside USA. Do you have any suggestions?
Nutanix, Cohesity - disrupting primary and secondary storage markets
Walmart , Target IT orgs
GoodRx if you're into working near the beach.
Tbh I don’t care about proximity to the beach but I’ll check it out :)
Lol I’m already there
Which means you are at the right company.
Banks for work life balance.
How good is the work life balance at banks?
Can confirm, though probably depends a lot on what you are doing.
Factual in LA. Growing super fast with tons of open roles.
In general I would look for a small to midsize company already performing well or where you see some warts but believe you can be a significant reason why they start performing better and they’re already making positive changes (hiring, process, innovation, pivots for the right reasons) to head in a better direction. I’ve found, and I suppose everyone is different, that it’s more fulfilling being a change agent and being a bigger fish in a smaller pond working with everyone to reach an aspirational set of goals than it is to be a cog in the wheel of a big org that thinks it’s already doing everything right and gives you small time responsibilities because they have one person or less per hat instead of needing to give you more hats to wear to get things done.
I am in the same boat. If anyone from non-FANG companies are open to giving referrals - reply and I’ll PM ya.
