This response seems so odd from a company like Google. It’s like the big G is triggered by not having workers in the office. Is it that Googlers can’t be trusted to do their work? Is this a Google Cloud issue? What say y’all? https://www.cnbc.com/amp/2021/03/31/google-speeds-partial-office-reopenin...Read more
My story is unique and hope it inspires you to value yourself ! I had a call with a recruiter for IC role at Principal Engineer level. The job required BS with 6 YOE or MS with 4 YOE. I have MS with 6 YOE so I did meet the minimum bar. When recruiter called in, for first 10 minutes, he asked typica...Read more

Just ranting since I don't have someone to talk to: Spouse and I have been together 6 years. She commonly gets triggered, but is seeing a therapist and we're seeing a couples counselor. Anyways, things were good, we were cooking together and I was looking up songs on the phone to play. One song was...Read more
Maybe it’s my ego speaking, but I find it ridiculous, when “Lead” designers from no-name startups with 0 experience at FANG reaching out to offer Senior positions to somebody working at Meta, Apple, Google. (While you’re already Senior). Like wtf do they expect? Go lead your career first 🤦🏼♂️ UP...Read more
How bad are single-trigger RSUs in terms of taxes for a late-stage startup? I'm thinking of joining ServiceTitan, which has had rumors of IPO this year, but it doesn't do double-trigger. Is that a red flag? Is double-trigger almost always better? Worst case, its valuation goes up but it never exits ...Read more
My GOD, Blind is a cesspool. First time here and I can't stop reacting to the asinine puerility. How do y'all cope with this toxic mess? TC 350k YOE 15

My job at Lyft includes ~$320k in RSUs vesting over 4 years. I just realized that Lyft has a "double trigger" vesting system, so the RSUs don't fully vest until both the vesting cliffs have been reached (time) and there has been some sort of performance based targets (acquisition / IPO). The interna...Read more
Lol 😂 People posting on LinkedIn from Blind, don't even understand the relation! Maybe people don't understand the returns companies get on free food!
One of my team members is getting a promotion and I said Godspeed only to have someone with their pronouns attack me as this term is apparently not something you should say. The individual I said it to appreciated it but I triggered a third party…. (I’m not religious btw) Would you take offense if...Read more
Saw another $500K offer on blind. And I‘m done. Done being poor. I’m done seeing everyone else get crazy offers at dream companies while I sit here, read blind posts and contemplate the meaning of life. I’m done wondering if I can afford that new apartment or that car I’ve had my eyes on for a whi...Read more
How do you cope with Sunday scaries, negative self talk, indifference and performance related stress that all result from having a job you hate? Yes, changing teams or company is the long term goal, but in this market it can be many many months before anything changes. Need strategies for how to ma...Read more
Everything was good, then suddenly a project was pushed to our team throats and everything it came came with it, everything has to be done for yesterday, code first then requirements and understanding of the project later, calls out of nowhere to understand “what’s going on”, code problems can be so...Read more
Like many immigrant parents - mine were what we now call “verbally and physically abusive”. My mom was the type to aggressively nag about everything everyday, while my dad was relatively calm most days, but would occasionally blow into bursts of rage and beat me and my siblings up. My parents had t...Read more
://// just heard some interview Dr. Gebru did on a podcast, and it was just kinda... terrifying? Not really of Google, I mean, you always kinda expect that standard “it’s at will employment, don’t expect to do weird things and not get fired”, “HR is not your friend”, “you have to follow process etc...Read more
I'm planning to move there soon but my mom is worried after she read about an Indian Amazon SWE who seems like he got kidnapped in February. I know crime is common in the US but I guess she got worried bc I'm also Indian SWE. https://www.crimeonline.com/2022/02/09/something-has-happened-amazon-soft...Read more
Let’s say you are working at a pre-IPO company in NY and your RSUs are double trigger. Since you’re taxed on RSUs at once upon IPO or direct acquisition, what if you switched jobs and moved to WA before your original company IPOs and then a IPO happens while you’re living in WA? Do you pay the sta...Read more
