Pet Peeves: Stop generalizing companies when switching jobs. WLB etc.
It's really annoying to see folks generalize companies when deciding weather to jjumping from one company to another. I find it lazy... and annoying since each group in a given company is different. Folks recently mentioned WLB was (best to worst left to right) Intel >> amd >> nvidia >> apple. Spent many years at Intel, amd and now nvidia. Wlb was worst in amd (cpu group) and Intel (network and storage soc groups) and best in nvidia (soc, gpu). Tier 1 companies are huge and have many subgroups with varying characteristics. Let's try to be less lazy in our posts and be more specific (even in an anonymous app like this).
It's about the odds, ymmv. Welcome to NVIDIA.
i can trust nvidia wlb being bad
Agree.
The only thing one should compare is money and benefits unless you know the prospective team. Everything else is a recipe for disappointment since it is team dependent. Even a good team can start to suck with a change in management or workload TC is common one people compare. Next compare holidays, medical premiums, deductibles, other benefits and assign a value to them. compare company policies. And of course immigration stuff for those on visa. Day1 perm is more valuable than perm after h1 approval
Very true. People say that WLB at the entirety of Amazon is really bad, and 6% URA quota is widespread, but I found a really chill team with a nice manager and reasonable on-call workload. You just have to look harder, and you'll find it. On average, I never work above 40h per week! EDIT: Just got a call from my manager. He said I was in a silent Focus for a 3 months, and he's entering me into a 30-day Pivot now. Have 5 business days to make a decision whether to try to Improve, or take a 10w base salary severance by agreeing not to sue and not to disparage Amazon. FMLA!
Are you for real or is this a joke?
this has to be a joke lol nicely done
