- vote Where’s the next layoff? Just caught word of Robinhood’s 10% layoff. Personally, given the trends we’re seeing in the market and economy, I think this is just the beginning. Too many tech companies, especially the less established ones, have grown way too quickly and I don’t agree with the mainstream opinion on Blind that

Given the current market conditions and FUD with layoffs, hiring freeze, and stock market going down, I'm worried that my new grad offer at Pinterest may be rescinded by the time I join.

- People at Meta/Twitter/Netflix/Robinhood - trust me you are still doing better than being at Amazon While working for an employer that is unstable is bad - trust me it's still better than working for Amazon. Living under the fear of being PIPed is real, irrespective of your tenure at Amazon. Your company probably cares way more for you than Amazon cares for it's customers. Your teammates are pr

- Quite surprised with after hours pop @Meta ? #metaverse Quite surprised with overreaction and unexpected pop after hours? Here’s why you shouldn’t hop on the bandwagon just yet: 1.

- How much extra value does Amazon get from its engineers because of PIP? I probably work 20% harder than I need to every day because I want to make sure I avoid PIP. Everyone knows about pip now, especially new grads, they probably work 10-12 hours a day. If you expand this over all of Amazon it's so much extra effort for free. If I was a (big) shareholder I would be ex
- Amazon TC -RSU Calculation I am wondering how recruiter came with total comp for first year. They quoted it as CAD300k based on 5% RSU for first year. I was given 70 RSU so that means 3.5 the first year. Base 160k, first year bonus 125K. From this calculation it seems they are saying 1 RSU is worth 4500 which isn't true. Thi
