Artificial Intelligence - Blind
OpenAI WLB Have an offer to join OpenAI. What is the WLB actually like for SWE. I've read 996 is the expectation. Is that actually the case? Of course the pay is higher, and the company is hot, but it's not worth wrecking my life if it's an extreme grind. What is it really like there? current tc 550k, offer 900k
I just bombed google interviews i feel so depressed
I just bombed google interviews i feel so depressed Google got back to me 4 months after I applied and 3 months after I accepted a new role. Been rusty with lc. I feel so depressed. This would have been a huge boon to my career and financial situation, and its so hard to get past resume screen at google. TC: 220k Yoe: 3 Location: canada, remote
Anthropic work culture
Anthropic work culture I received an offer from Anthropic earlier this week. I’m considering joining, but I’m a bit nervous about the working hours. I’m okay with 50 hours a week, but 60 would be pushing it. Everyone during the process has been super nice. Can folks working at Anthropic share what the working hours are like? It would be good to understand both hours and whether people work on the weekends. Blind tax: 20 YoE Current TC: 1.4 New TC: 1.65
37% of Confluent laid off
This is huge. Why isn't this in the news? This is bcs of the IBM acquisition :( Because if you get acquired, it’s expected that redundant roles will be removed. This is mostly targeting legal & sales? I signed an offer and my join date is next week as a swe, so this is concerning lol Interesting, so the opposite of Block layoffs then? Block laid off mostly engineering and kept business teams, but Confluent seems to be in the opposite direction.
The "grinding hours" advantage just evaporated
The "grinding hours" advantage just evaporated If your edge was that you are willing to work 100 hour weeks and treat coding as a lifestyle, AI agents just made you obsolete. Assuming you still don't have 10M NW, any career shift recommendations?

The only company left with high pay and good WLB
All tech jobs have good pay relative to other Americans. I would actually say we have amazing pay but I actually had to work and pay for my college
Failed OpenAI and now I have to interview at fucking Stripe
Just got the OpenAI rejection email. Would've been $700k+ TC. I fumbled it so badly. I'm losing my mind in front of my PC right now. Now my backup is Stripe. Don't get me wrong, I know they pay good, but holy fuck I was this close to 3x my current TC and I blew it. I missed my chance at generational wealth holy fuck. Fuuuck. Again, I'm trying not to be ungrateful about having a Stripe interview lined up but honestly I'm just fucking depressed. This was supposed to be my big break.
Google offer L6 | Tech Industry - Blind
+1, if this is SWE base is mid range, it could go 10-15K more to push at high end. Personally I will take lower base and ask for joining bonus, because base can be increased later by manager at year end.
