I know people with 15 years of experience that are now senior level or above and others that are still mid level or junior. How do they determine whether you are senior or not? Just gaining years of experience at FAANG doesn’t seem to lead to pay rises or seniority increases #engineering #software...Read more

JP Morgan bought student loan startup Frank for $175M in 2021, thinking they had 4M customers. In reality: customers were fake. The big story we should be talking about is how devs at the startup refused to generate fake students… so CEO Charlie Javice had to outsource this. She got $10mil. She co...Read more
Sometimes I really think that the CEOs and the other bigwigs wish and will in these “slowdowns” so that they can make more money 💰 for executives, themselves and their board of directors and shareholders at the expense of lowly software engineers. You know the old “these times are so bad and we don...Read more
I was just thinking that people usually talk about having better negotiations and in some cases only possibility of negotiation in case one has a competing offer. Let's take an example: assume I am negotiating at Google (this is the company I am interested to join). Google is known to low-ball in c...Read more
Amazon is finding it really and I mean really hard to find good people. Directors are pushing for mandatory PIP quotas inspite of teams being under huge attrition.

"There's nothing for these people to do ... It's all fake work," Rabois said. True or False? https://apple.news/APJ319o8oRT2hfBmv3aUwxw
I am very biased and skeptical of the actual goal of DEI. I did a lot of DEI training from my company and read a lot of posts and articles about DEI. But still, I don't believe in it. I cannot even believe some people actually believe in it, I tend to believe they just act like they believe it. Som...Read more
Criticizing Israel doesn’t make someone antisemitic. If that’s the case we should have a term for every country in the world where we criticize them. Why do some of these people try so hard to be victims all the time. You would think some Jews are superhuman the way they feel so much entitlement, an...Read more

Was thinking about requesting remote, but thinking might be easier to have a friend just badge me in 3x a week. What would...Read more
