What kind of work you complete in 2 week sprint at FAANG?
Hi, I work for probably 4/5 tier company. I did had offer from Amazon last year did not went so yes I guess I am worthy of FAANG. Anyway, the campany I am at right now have very less expectaion example my sprint work is: a button which is enabled and disabled based on few simple logic, it took me about an hour. And a simple form with 5 fields and a table with data. It literally takes me 1-2 day to complete sprint work. And its not just this but it has been like this far last 1 year. So just curious how much you guys accomplish in a 2 week period, like what kind of stuff you complete in 2 weeks at FAANG coz those salary seem juicy. Full Stack Software Engineer 8 yrs exp 180k TC, Atlanta. #engineering #software #swe
In my experience the amount of code you write at faang is smaller, but the planning and designing is more
There is nothing literally, very less expectation. I open laptop and do other things like few of my own ventures. Just attend meeting, I have been working like 3-4 hrs plus meeting every week for about 1.5 years.
Not necessarily true
Life is good for you man
I guess
But you know grass is always greener on other side.
I’d be happy with 180k for that
mix of oe and feature implementation
Whats OE
Operational excellence so stuff like bug fixing and package upgrading
That depends enormously on what you are doing and how much of the work depends only on you, or how much broken things are. I've written a whole new feature from scratch, including 100% unit test coverage, component, and integration tests, all in two weeks (only me doing everything). Delivered the feature with 1 known bug in a corner case and it never failed in production. I've spent 1 week to switch a string. Too many people involved. I've spent days to move a button from place A to place B. Too many people involved. I've spent weeks to make a button work, because everything behind it was broken. Technically I was on this alone, but fixing the underlying stuff was very hard, both in investigation and validation. There were no tests for the code and it was so horribly structured that it would take me weeks to refactor it. Ended up adding my own brick to the crumbling wall, and inched away from it very carefully, thinking of the poor souls that will see it fall one day after another innocuous change.
Two week sprints? Much agile, wow! We have quarterly "objectives and key results"...
Really, what you accomplish in a quater.
You must have the best WLB of all places
I have worked in 4 different places before this and its best wlb, but I do feel dumb and people around me are much dumber lol
I beg to differ. it's all life no work. Where is the balance at?
Enjoy your life. But why did you not accept the offer from amazon?
Remember: earn, learn or move. You are definitely in the "earn" category because with 180 TC and living in Atlanta you must be living like a king. PM if you are hiring :)
Same
Enabling and disabling a button takes 2 weeks ? You writing in assembly bro ?
lol read carefully, I said 1-2 hrs lol
Exactly true. That does take 2 week. Bunch of hoops and may be after 2 week PM comes and says conversion was not good so we are dropping
