I'm thinking of long term goals of where I want to work/live and prefer being onsite, so it's mostly better to be living in a place that is the headquarters for something. Obviously the biggest companies like FAANGs have divisions headquartered in different places, but still I was just wondering what is out there in the realm of tech career paths. (I bamboozled my way into software development from engineering, so I wasn't born in the CS world) Bay area: All hail the Faaaaaaaaaangs! NYC: Top tier HFT firms (Also more offices for like Snap and Square and whatnot, right?) Chicago: More HFT trading firms Seattle: Amazon, Microsoft LA: What are the best SWE opportunities in SoCal? I know there's a big aerospace cluster but I want something a little more fast paced than government stuff later on. DC: I love DC, but it seems SWE jobs are at consulting firms in the Virginia exurbs. What else are industries in this city Boston: I have a friend at Amazon Alexa and I know of Boston Dynamics, but what else is in Boston that's really cool and stretch goals for applying too? Denver: I know there's a lot of aerospace/defense stuff. Is that the peak of it? Austin: I did my masters here, besides the legacy silicon fabs, it seems like budding FAANG type stuff since the industry coming here is mostly from California What are ya'll's thoughts? Blind tax: TC: 115 YoE: 1
How many years did it take to get that BMI
YOE: 1. The question is how long will he stay at 22 π
till op has kids probably. kids ruin everything
What is bmi
Body mass index
Metro Detroit has a couple Google offices, an Amazon office, Duo security which was bought by Cisco, and the Rivian and StockX HQs
take out BMI or GTFO. More like TMI Edit: To answer your question: DC: Military / DoD. If you're not cleared or don't want to be cleared just leave, it's boring. Also, Amazon HQ2, but still boring. Austin: Is your best bet. You are already relatable during interviews b/c you did your masters there (more to talk about, build camaraderie). Best advice for your situation (and from my experience of your situation), look for a startup'y 20-50 person company. Try to get in as a "jack of all trades, master of some". They'll give you some projects, move around a bit, create some entropy, mingle, etc. After you get your emailing 101 experience, just go remote dude. Nobody needs to sit through 10 meetings a day, trust me. Get TC, go live your life. Don't. Do not chase corporate. It's a mind fuck and you're not guaranteed appropriate compensation for how much you're killing yourself to show your boss you're better than everybody else. They don't care. And even if they did, it's not up to them, it's up to HR and you're just a number. Good luck have fun.
It was a joke I thought it'd be funny
I figured, it's not appropriate. We're all very serious here.
