Interviewers hold too much power
So I had two tech interviews with Meta and Databricks for an L5 position in a span of a month. I have done many interviews in my career obviously but never have I had the exact same 4 DSA questions from two separate companies. I answered both the exact same way. Somehow I was moved forward for onsite with Databricks but not Meta. THE EXACT SAME SOLUTION. No variation whatsoever. How is that even possible?
1.5 year job gap... am i cooked
got laid off from Meta about a year and a half ago. tbh, i was kind of sucking over there: moved to SF, didnβt know anyone, went through a breakup, got super depressed, smoked too much weed and shirked my responsibilities. quit smoking about a year ago, doing way better now, and have a really supportive partner, so besides my career life has gotten better for sure. since the layoff, iβve only done one contract gig building a full-stack web app for a private client.

No amount of TC can fix your back. Workout NOW!
Not trying to sound like your mom here, but GO OUTSIDE! WORKOUT! GET SOME SUN! Just 30 min a day. Anything. Walk. Run. Weights. Dance in your living room. Whatever gets you moving and sweaty. I have been doing this daily for the last 6 months. I put on a podcast and walk/run combo after lunch. And here is what I noticed: *I am way less grumpy. *Lost 13lbs without stressing over calories. No need for that wegovy shots. *Appetite is super chill now. I used to snack constantly. Now Iβm full with 2 meals.
Confession: I think I’m falling in love with my manager.
I hate my job. The salary isn’t worth the daily BS. Didn’t get the promotion I know I deserved last year. That was the last straw. So I started applying, collecting recs, and prepping hard. Now? I’ve got a Meta loop and two smaller ones lined up. I should be working on getting out of here, right? Instead… I think I’ve just realized my manager is a woman.
Money not bringing happiness is the biggest lie of the lower & middle classes
Just crossed $1M NW coming from a lower-middle class and starting from $0. Every extra $ I make at this point gives me so much peace of mind. While I don't have enough to fully retire yet in the US, the worst case scenarios of a global crisis or the collapse of the industry ever leading me to homelessness, not being able to afford treatment of a deadly illness, or having to work minimum wage work only to barely afford living in the shittiest apartment become almost impossible at this point.
TikTok post about US split got deleted
My friend at TikTok showed me a post from their Blind channel about a rumored split between Tiktok US and global. Sounds like itβs more than just a rumor. The post is gone now. Wish I had a screenshot. Something about restructuring maybe even spinning off the US version?? People were commenting who controls what and what teams might get sacked. Anyone know more about this? Iβm about to apply for a job position and donβt want to go if theyβre about layoff in the US.
Medical error—the third leading cause of death in the US | Tech Industry - Blind
The much bigger problem is the fact that doctors don't compete with each other. Doctors and hospitals lobbied vigorously to water down Obamacare provisions that tied Medicare hospital funds to complication rates, and no hospital publishes their own data on how good they are. So patients can't choose to reward better hospitals over worse ones.
I wrote in my manager's review that they pressured us to give everyone good ratings
I was angry and also maybe a bit tired but in our team meeting she's just been telling everyone to give everyone else good ratings. I regret it but there's no way to change my answer now, but in all honestly if we're just going to give everyone good ratings what is the point of reviews? I get this is just a political game and it may not be my manager's fault but she always asks us to do these ridiculous things that I think I lashed out on in the review. Is she screwed or am I screwed?

Software Engineering Career - Blind
Currently working fully remote in Florida with a house that I own and my fiance. I recently passed the Meta interview but they expect me to relocate to NY for the job to meet their hybrid requirement in the hope that I can transfer to remote after 18 months or so. Just wondering if such a move is worth it since I really love my current job but I know Meta would pay much much more. Current TC - 160k YoE - 6 years #meta #remote #software #sde #newyork #advice

Tech employees are the most whiny, most entitled pos
Big fat paychecks for doing things that donβt really matter in real life. AI is yet another example of fraud that is sucking up high salaries and tech employees still manage to complain. Heck even crud app developers make way more than average Americans. They still manage to complain. Shitty ppl in a decent industry. Crying for low quality toilet paper, crying for low quality snacks, coffee, etc. They donβt do free massages, laundry, etc anymore. There is lack of variety in food.

Most of you will be laid off soon
It's inevitable. The market is dead. For 1 job listing, there are literally 1000s of applicants. A lot of swe jobs are outsourced to cheaper countries. Companies will keep cutting costs and soon most of you will be laidoff. Learn how to do plumbing or handyman work. I took to it after I couldn't land a job for more than a year, I was a principal SWE at Microsoft. You'll know what I am saying when it hits you. So preempt. If you're indian, go back to India.
