i have to keep going to reddit to remind myself that blind doesnt represent the world we live in. with multi k $ tc. mostly logical arguments and more often than not respectful disagreement. acknowledging when u r wrong or misinformed (except for some). blind paints the wrong picture of the world. thoughs?comments? edit due to comments: tc:400k yoe:12
You wanna believe that the picture that blind paints is wrong so that you won't feel bad about how low your TC is.
Possible. But my tc ainât so low. Lately I have been feeling bad about all the posts from people trying to come to valley cuz of the picture blind paints of everyone making 500k here.
Yeah, you're doing well.
People on Reddit aren't exactly representative either, everyone there throws a party for each other after struggling to find 40k TC jobs
Isnât 40k vastly closer to US avg income though.
40k is average for ALL jobs, but it shouldn't be for tech unless you're vastly incompetent which most Reddit users are
Is there a subreddit for tech employees?
Many. They also paint similar picture as blind. But still waay less skewed towards Bay Area.
cscareerquestions that's about it
OMG if you have to go to reddit to escape the bubble of blind....I shudder at the awakening you are going to have once you see how much of a bubble Reddit has become.
I frequently go to subs like r/charity and such to keep my entitled ass in check.
You could also travel and see how the other half lives with your own eyes.
Tc or gtfo
I agree with the ârespectful disagreementâ thing. Iâm fairly new to Blind and planning on moving to SV but sometimes get bummed by how people try to pull each other down here. Although Iâm sure its not representative of the entire Bay area
Example of bringing people down? Like one those stupid political posts? Unsubscribe from âpoliticsâ.
Ey u might have misread my post. I was commending people on blind for respectful disagreement as compared to reddit.
Reddit leans so far left that I get annoyed sometimes. The downvote system hides different opinions.
U donât have to subscribe to front page. U can always find ur right leaning subs
I donât want that either, because then itâs a right leaning circle jerk. I just want to read what everyone thinks sometimes :/
Lol Reddit is a bigger bubble. Itâs now mostly a socialist breeding ground where any dissent is downvoted to oblivion.
What most people donât realize is that the ânormal worldâ is not on reddit nor on Blind.
Where is it?
Not on Reddit and not on Blind
TC or GTFO
Iâll post it if u give me a good reason. Not against it. But I think that will skew peoples opinion on the actual topic.
Because TC or GTFO
