Time to delete Blind

I have been using Blind for over 5-6 months now and have slowly became an addict, it came during the time I was searching for a new opportunity and thus became my research tool. But lately I have realized to the skewed and inaccurate data that Blind users report on the app, I have started to feel depressed. There is a feeling on failure that has creeped up inside be, I no longer love my job as I feel my company doesn’t love me as my compensation is around 50% below as reported by most of the users here. I don’t feel Blind as a safe environment as there are people here just to troll. It took me sometime to understand what was happening to me but my wife helped me realize that it’s all because of anxiety. Well anxiety caused by data that no one is moderating. I feel one can get a good/accurate advice here at Blind. Thanks, it’s you not be. Sayonara.

You may consider leaving the bay area if blind depresses you. A lot of folks cannot handle the green eyes monster and lets be real there is always someone smarter, richer, and luckier here. If it weighs on you consider another place (most cities are not like this)

Nope, people like you dont exists everywhere. It's why many people leave the bay. It's not for everyone. Not sure why you are so angry but hope your day gets better sir, or at least better enough that you can come up with insults that make sense ;)

If money is your metric for success then you'll never reach it. Somebody will always have more than you!

It’s better than Facebook. Delete Facebook instead.

Delete LinkedIn instead

No way. Facebook is the worst. Where’s the dislike button? Blind is realistic!

Trolls are a part of life sadly.

Isn't fun to troll or get trolled?

I do have same exp as op. I deleted it but got back into it when I got numbers from startup. I also got some referrals on blind . So blind needs to be used only for job search and comp negotiations. I noticed that people make a lot on blind and numbers are true for a couple of top companies. But I accepted the fact that there will always be smart asses around. But I get annoyed by similar fact that there are ass holes every where who managed to get into top companies with right set of contacts, diversity etc

Such a flawed statement. Money as metrics != need to be the richest. Learn what metric means first.

But how do you measure it...

I strongly recommend you to change your company if your pay is less than 50% of avg pay reported. Try FAANG and start leetcoding. All the best.
