It’s four years of growth that makes the initial grant look generous. For example $GOOG was like $800 in April’17. It’s over $2250 right now. $AMZN went from $900 to $3300 during the same time.

According to Forbes it’s 50B+: https://news.yahoo.com/google-doubles-down-commercial-real-1...

> Especially with high performance ratings, she should have been getting bonus over target and extra stock.

In these companies each level has a compensation bracket. With high rating it’s easier to hit that upper limit and without timely promotion total compensation can take a nosedive when initial grant dies out.

> I remember when I had a stellar year at a big corp.

What made the year stellar?

I can understand the comparison with lawyers but why dentists?

Apple Watch is more of a mini-computer with apps than a heartbeat tracker. You can install separate fitness tracker apps for tracking fitness.

A heartbeat tracker doesn’t provide the same amount of value.

I remember interviewing with a startup that was an hour of casually chatting about previous works and technologies we used. Sane companies with sane interviews do exist.

You don’t need a lot of money to claim freedom over your life. Bukowski didn’t have a lot. Diogenes the Cynic would be one extreme but valid example. People who you’re calling entitled are not all entitled. They’re just a bit more courageous and freewheeling than you and me.

This interpretation is similar to an old Buddhist teaching. When you’re one with the world you’re sharing others’ joy and disowning your “personal” sufferings.

That I don’t disagree. I thought you were talking about one particular social network.

How’s that nonsense? They do have great UI/UX.

Did any of them survive? Nope. Just because Facebook survived a decade doesn’t mean it will survive another.

I’d say most people flocked there for prestige and compensation. Perks were just icing on the cake.

If you subscribe through Apple it’s just as easy to cancel it as canceling any other subscription.

You can also delete all apps that have personal information and clean cache. They cannot force you install a particular app.

> Internet technology comes and go, social networks are here to stay.

Like Google+, Friendster and Myspace?

This is a very cool product. This should become a replacement for Jira.

This reminds me of a talk of Linus Torvalds. From this perspective, mastery can be seen as an acquired taste that came after doing a large volume of work.

You may not walk away if the BigCorp is subtle enough to hide how your actions are supporting an unethical intention.

I don’t blame people for working in a BigCorp. You gotta pay rent or mortgage. I’m wary of the uncontrolled power they hold over humanity and the prestige we associate working for them. These two together can be lethal.

> ... and they could make you hurt others

This is the part you missed. You can’t easily walk away from that.

You can sense it when you walk into an Apple store. I met a few unnecessarily rude salesperson and wondered how or why they were still there.

He also needs to implement a search functionality across all products.

This is not entirely true. Google doesn’t have enough interesting work for even its “better” engineers. Amount of hoops you have to jump to do any good work is enormous and it takes toll unless you’re in a really good org. It’s a good place to work but you’ll be lot less starry-eyed about Google once you cross your L5 promotion.

Also it’s entirely possible to land in a good team as a new-grad. Be a little picky during team selection.
