H1B Wages vs American Wages
Undisclosed H1BFounder OP Yesterday Also who the F are you to decide...country invites highly skilled. If you have capacity you will be absorbed into the fields. Otherwise they have to find talent. Socialism is hated by Americans. If you want to be a capitalist nation you got to get what market wants. Let the free market decide
Green card + 5 mil NW
Green card + 5 mil NW Had to stay in Microsoft for longer than I wanted so as to get this green card. But can't leave again since we just had a baby. Stuck with low pay but got gc thanks to MS though.(Indian origin) Select only one answer ...View Result
Scam pump finally over
This is the only valid response. Entire market is down for reasons not related to the business thesis and financials
Lcol with husband and two boys 6 and 10
Just turned 40 and husband is 42. I just want to rest and relax. I can’t work and take care of kids and home. Husband does too but I take the mental toll and can’t let it go. I want to sleep as much I like and then be present for my family. We both are combined around 450k/yr comp. How do I get to my FIRE number soon? How do I know what’s my FIRE number in this economy? New to this, kindly advise.
MU will hit 5000 EOY.
Burnt out from covering for my manager who's on sick leave How the f*** are you guys getting offers > 500k What's the point of it all?
Amazon values wlb guyss
Hiring manager is saying coffee badging is ok 😅. Jokes aside while there is RTO I think most managers would let you WFH occasionally on an adhoc basis e.g. someone at home is not well or leave a bit early. First word in work life balance is still work. In either case, the WLB question is a perfect topic to bring up with HM after an offer has been made. Ask them how they manage WLB for their team members.
SNOW After Hours Up 35%!!! WOW 🚀
If you set a target do it. Be disciplined. It will make you more in long term than just this one trade.
Stop thanking tech companies on LinkedIn for laying off you
Stop thanking tech companies on LinkedIn for laying off you Title says it all. Most of layoffs these days like the one recently happened in Meta is totally immoral. Thanking employers for laying off you is like thanking someone tortured you and telling your future employer I have this brilliant skill and ready to be tortured again, also justifying current immoral behavior of employers.
Microsoft basically told employees you all suck this year
Microsoft basically told employees you all suck this year My merit increase was 0.3% after one of the most stressful years I’ve had at this company. Layoffs, reorgs, AI pressure, smaller teams, more work, constant stress… and apparently this is what Microsoft thinks that’s worth. Apparently merit increases are all under 1% and some manager on Blind said that top performers are getting 0.3%–0.6%. At this point just give me 0%. What the fuck is 0.3%?
I'm bored of a tech career.
I have overachieved so much I'm actually bored so much now. I'm 24, ex-Apple, ex-Amazon and can't be bothered to have a career, knowing full well in the UK you'll retire with an average home and like £100k savings max. Having a corporate career in tech genuinely isn't for me. I want a job where I don't have to worry about bs deadlines, toxic manager, office politics while having higher earning power and enjoyment out of work.
Recruiter regretted asking my current TC
Recruiter regretted asking my current TC Had a call with a headhunter building up an AI startup founding team. It's a good fit and I was excited to join them, but in the end she blatantly asked my current TC. I tried to dodge the question, said I'd be happy with an equity-heavy offer... She insisted. I caved. She got really embarrassed, said it's almost the entire seed round. Now she's ghosting me. Did I screw up? TC: 1.1m
How do people work till 50 or 65
The last few years have sucked the joy out of the industry. I am not one who joined for the money, I like what I do. It’s easy work and the pay is good. Do I have 15 or 20 more years in me? There are days when I’m not so sure. Today is one of those days. I’m in early 50s. It’s tiresome. I have enjoyed what I did until last few years. No w I’m ready to be done or at least on to something else. 50s and Meta, do you run an org there?
Feeling a bit isolated due to my TC and not sure who to talk to about this
Feeling a bit isolated due to my TC and not sure who to talk to about this After grinding for the last 12+ years (last 4+ at Databricks), and Databricks stock doubling this past year, my TC now sits at $2.5M+. I know I should be happy but honestly it feels surreal and kind of isolating? Like I can’t talk to anyone in my life about it without it being weird. Has anyone else felt like high TC actually makes things harder in some ways?
Wanting to buy expensive sports car as swe with ~1yoe

Just saw the dumbest take on software of this century on X
I genuinely created an instagram clone in my last year of uni 6 years ago and it took me like 9 months while trying to learn swift as well. Good luck having the same recommendation algo and user flow as the real instagram. Even then i understood that creating these apps is not rocket science but user attraction and traffic is the moat. This guy has no idea what he is talking about
I hate people bragging about automating their own job
Why would you brag (at work) about automating your own job and saving so much time ? I don't really understand, let's say you are in a meeting with your peers from around the globe, why would you show your AI workflow that saves you hours and hours and almost fully automates your work, what do you gain by this ? A. more work since you just raised the expectations and to get something do you do with your "free time" from automating your work? B.
Lack of snow bunnies
Lack of snow bunnies Why is there a lack of white women in tech? Even with so many white people in US , tech seems to be under represented. I haven't seen a white women in tech engineering roles. What the reason for this ?

We don't need H1B and we don't need parents
We don't need H1B and we don't need parents Those are the 2 groups of engineers who don't contribute. They keep getting ahead by politics. Honestly, if you drop kids at 10am and pick them up at 3pm, and spend most of your day talking about your kids what work can you get done? It's so unfair to do better work but get discriminated against for not having kids.
Anthropic and the coming end times. Judgement day is near!
windsurf-solutionswQLd33 If you’re wondering why the Middle East is on fire right now, it’s because of Dario Amodei. Dario is the returning messiah. The religious leaders of the Middle East all secretly know this and are preparing for end times. Soon after Anthropic releases Mythos, the whole planet will go dark. AI generated viruses will infiltrate all of our systems and society will collapse. Then, after 40 days and 40 nights, the clouds will separate and God will come down for judgement day.
I think Marc Benioff should look at my comp
Sat through the all company call hearing agentforce nonstop. I checked my comp again to see if it was still what I saw. It was. No RSU refresher. Raise barely moved. I’m listening to all this talk about growth while my actual comp says the opposite. How do these execs expect you to buy into the vision when litterally I just got my own numbers and it clearly showed that the numbers didn't change.
"Promotions happen when you're already at the next level" is bs
"Promotions happen when you're already at the next level" is bs Promotions are a carrot they dangle in front of you to make you work harder. It is much easier to get a promotion by switching jobs. It is much easier to operate at the next level when you're hired for that level. This idea of doing your job so well that you start magically operating at the next level is corporate brain washing. It is a deeply flawed idea that hinges on being at the right place at the right time.
It’s all just luck
Just read that Meta thread. And heard about hundreds of layoffs today, probably more to come. This is after I worked 16 hours today on some stupid instagram bullshit and just got it shipped. My eyes are literally burning I want to for once work for a place that is at least decently respected. Not even necessarily “prestigious”. This happened to my previous company too.
"Head of" is so fucking lame and pathetic

I’m an American that just got divorced…learn from my lesson!
I am a White American born and raised in the Missouri state. I recently lost my job a few months ago due to the bad performance at job. The work was bad because of Indian people and I would not be cooperative with them. I never really liked these people taking my job and truth be told, I looked down on them. The pressure from work was also getting in the house. My wife and I would frequently have fights at the home.

Amazon jobs are so competitive
This has to be a fake. Amazon has a premium fashion team? I thought them all coming from the same factory with temu/shein
Manager makes me deliver bad news
Manager makes me deliver bad news Whenever we are going to be late or can't meet timeline, she sends an OOO the hour before the call - asks me to cover. Or an email thread, she'll CC me and then message me to cover. But if we're early, she basically takes all credit and interrupts whenever i speak. This is so fun 🙂
Stupid af indian middle manager hire trying to force AI down everyone's throats
Stupid af indian middle manager hire trying to force AI down everyone's throats Boasting on slack about how he built multiple frameworks in just 2 weeks instead of months, and giving everyone the advice to start using AI to boost productivity velocity. Bro just joined and already thinks he's in a position to change the entire company and existing processes. I never hated Indians this much before.
