Finally I’m out of Dell Seattle. Feels so good.
I worked my ass off for 2+ years in the company for literally nothing.
They gave me an early offer when I was 2nd sem in college, I signed the offer( didn’t interview with any other companies due to this)
I was under an Indian manger who micromanaged a lot (Ppl take advantage knowing that we are on H1b, it felt threatening in so many cases), didn’t promote me for silly reasons, kept pushing my promotion saying there’s no availability(when I was the only guy in the team with 2 years exp and everyone else was principal).
He loaned me to different teams to work when there was org critical projects. Even when my peers had a good review, he kept pushing my promotion.
All my friends and peers asked me to interview out.
Luckily all of my friends were in tech giants, which helped me to figure out how hot the market was.
Started interviewing with others. I kept getting offers from tech giants while I still had so much of interviews left.
I again brought up my promo talks, same response.
When I tried to give notice, he was pissed and disappointed at me and asked me to reject offers and said he was looking at my promotion, Looking at the delta I knew it was nowhere near.
Finally I got out, when I look back now feel like I wasted my time there.
When I see ppl asking questions on here I feel they can do so much better.
Lot of micromanagement and no good pay. Getting grads directly out of college is the strategy, literally feels like pit.
Pay is 🥜🥜🥜🥜🥜 and No stocks.
I know a Flock of ppl literally left and leaving, I feel now they are paying the price.
Just putting it out here so that anyone who is considering. Just think again and interview with more companies and don’t do the same mistake I did especially for the first job.
