Google is done for.
Comment Summary Blind commenters are split on whether Google is finished. Some commenters express strong dissatisfaction, criticizing the company's management and suggesting that it has been deteriorating internally.

Career hack: Stop being an engineer and switch to management.
Career hack: Stop being an engineer and switch to management. Less work. More pay. ($600K–$1M.) Your daily responsibilities: • Walk around. • Sweet-talk everyone. • Show your face in meetings. • Delegate all the actual work. • Come and go as you please. Bonus: Lower career risk. Apparently, PowerPoint is safer than production. 😄

High stress jobs taking away real wealth creation opportunity
I was recently chatting with a friend who decided to take a low stress low pay role at booking .com in Netherlands. The pay is awful compared to US FAANG but what he told me surprised me. Despite all the pay gaps, he said he was able to find time to learn investing and make some good consistent trades where he eventually ended in the green and made some decent money. All the while getting really fit and healthy.
Tech not fun anymore | Tech Industry - Blind
“Old” guy here… 25 years in tech and aside the dot com bust years, post pandemic tech has been about the worst overall. I’ve been at Google and mid size companies over the past 5 years and esp after AI and all the layoffs, seems like few companies have any vibe left. There’s been a major shift I believe across the industry akin to “we don’t need you, you need us” and morale is down… seemingly by and large. Is it me?

Staff Offers Google vs Meta vs Databricks
Hey blinders, I currently have these three offers, all are at staff level. Iโve been out of touch with the industry comp, negotiation etc since I last interviewed over 10 years ago. So need help in judging whether these numbers are fair: Meta (E6) Base = 250k RSU = 1.1M Bonus = 50k (20%) Sign On = 45k Google (L6) Base = 240k RSU = 900k Bonus = 48k (20%) Databricks (L6) Base = 210k RSU = 1.5M Bonus = 42k (20%) Databricks stocks are good but obviously itโs not public.
