I have done probably over 50 onsite interviews since mid 2022 and I still haven’t gotten a single offer. I know I’m not bad because I have seen most engineers around me and most are absolutely mediocre and I have no problem doing well in technical coding interviews. I had just a tiny bit of hope un...Read more
Found a girl. We like each other. I'm 30, she's 29 Pros: Doctor, funny, playful, carefree Cons: Compete disregard for health/fitness.

I am not a huge fan of AI and found the AI hype just fueled by Microsoft's interest in openAI as the start of the bubble. Sure it can help as an accessory in your work and shoving that everywhere may not be smart. The goal of getting to GAI was interesting but even openAI seems to not talk about tha...Read more

Why do Bay area chinese people (not ABC) think they are superior to other asians? They try to boss other asians around at work (korean, vietnamese). They are super friendly with each other and will let poor performance slide amongst them. If a non Chinese does the same they yell it out. What makes t...Read more
Adobe has just posted the following opening. Does anyone know which internal level it might correspond to?
Is it a bad idea to join OpenAI if you are in your late 30s with two small toddlers? Is the company flexible when it comes to hours spent in the office vs. catching up in the evening/night? Are there early morning / late evening meetings? If any parents work at OpenAI currently, would love to hear y...Read more

TC 120K / YOE 5 Hello all! I am currently located in S. Korea and applying for the US job openings. I wonder how the process generally starts with a recruiter.

Crowdstrike missing null check was bad. Netlix missing is not big deal. Blind crashes while creating this post. YT why buttons have short names ? Recently see lot of small issues on major sites/apps, not getting resolved for long time. Will there be more of these ?
Wondering why we don’t have the technology in 2024 to save a resume and first/last in the cloud, workday makes you make a brand new profile for every company that uses their system. Do we not have the highly advanced tech to save a resume and profile to an email so everyone doesn’t have to make n p...Read more
I left Microsoft two years ago to a l5 tech BD role at AWS. I regret this decision every single day. It’s such a grind that has not paid off. I am designated a TT but there has been virtually no conversations about any sort of comp bump, bonus etc. I’ve gotten a 2% raise and a handful of RSUs which ...Read more
I received a verbal offer from Apple 2 weeks ago and it's been at the VP approval stage ever since. How long did you go from the verbal offer to, say, VP approval? TC: 430K #tech #apple #offer
