I disagree with what he says because 1. Product is more important than engineering. 2. Wtf is mediocre engineer? How do you define it?
Recently, the recruiter told me that the position I have been interviewed for has been filled, and he has forwarded my application to a larger recruitment group he is no longer assigned with my application. What should I do here? My interviews are complete, and feedback is positive. Frustrated from...Read more
Indeed versus Levelsfyi salary scale is a handy shorthand for what GergelyOrosz described as the trimodal nature of software engineering salaries. There’s a big leap from “being in IT” to working in big tech.
recently I came to know that uber is planning on engineering layoff. what do you think ? Layoff question was asked in Ubers one of all-hands recently and they didn’t answer it convincingly.

Most people I know who work at facebook has their LinkedIn saying software engineer. They may be E5, E6 or at whatever level, but that is never updated in LinkedIn. Why? I see engineers at google write Senior or Staff or senior staff etc. Are engineers told not to write their level on LinkedIn at Fa...Read more
I'm thinking of switching companies, and am looking for companies that pay a bit better in my field. I'm a software engineer who works on Kubernetes/AWS/Docker/pipelines, mostly in Go/Ruby/Python, but I also could be called a "DevOps engineer" to some, despite coding more than DevOps roles usually ...Read more
Startups don’t want them anymore. Whatever will those engs do without their lowball offers, 🥜 salary, and paper money. Pray for them 🙏 Edit: i know theres another popular Blind post with the same tweet. Check the timestamps, i posted first
JW Edit: I ask because I was browsing LinkedIn and came across like 20 meta engineering directors and was thinking “I wonder how much these people are making”…. And according to the answers here, they’re all rich. Makes sense - impressive resumes, Ivy League, phd etc
My hot take: Google does not have one single visionary leader. Not a one. From the C-suite to the SVPs to the VPs, they are all profoundly boring and glassy-eyed. Google has not launched one single successful executive-driven thing in years. Sometimes, VPs try to decree "we need a new chat app or A...Read more

Engineers should simply ask for higher salaries. It's a shame that they bang their head against weird bugs and do mental muscle exercise all day and only make 10% more than PMs and TPMs. Any eng salary offer should be set to at least 30% extra than pm/tpm offer in any company. Period.
Rumor on internal blind so it must be true. Stay strong fellas. Tax 40% of 500k
Mandatory "WeDash" starts from next year. You need to dash once a month. WILL BE TRACKED IN PERFORMANCE REVIEWS!! What the actual fuck? I didn't sign up for this, there was nothing in the offer letter/job description about this. TC: 400K

I know this sounds stupid but hear me out. I used to work as a developer at a non-tech company in the Midwest. I joined Amazon three years ago thinking that I was going to learn to write great software. The code here is atrocious. Rediculously bad. I used to get paid 60k and the code was 10000000x...Read more
