Good on him for bag chasing. Cost of living is absurd these days, shrugs

> Who is better positioned to answer a question like, “What should I get my friend Sophia for her birthday?” Facebook/Instagram already have huge volumes of data to specifically target ads. They can feed those into a chat interface pretty easily.

Interesting idea but sounds risky and intrusive in practice.

Just skimming the article, seems like the author wants us to shake our fists at these zillenials/zoomers

The problem with these big companies is how slow things move. Smart, talented engineers often join them and get the enthusiasm beat out of them by corporate politics and lack of impact, all that’s left is watching their bank account grow and apathy.

You might be on to something. Although it’s not too far fetched for someone to get their work done in a few hours and have the rest of the day to themselves. Especially a very competent jr who gets assigned easy work at a slow moving company. I had this experience when I was Jr engineer years ago. I wasn’t given enough work and half the time was just told to spend time learning by manager or Sr Engineer. Heck just browse cscareerquestions and you’ll see several posts about Jr engineers complaining about lack of work and fear of their skills stagnating and not learning enough or fears of being made redundant.

To me it seems like this employee delivered on his intern project, got good reviews and was extended an offer.

Nothing crazy but I interviewed at a startup a few years ago — I use the term startup loosely as the company was around for 10 years already but still calling themselves a startup (eye roll). Anyway the VP said every morning the entire company attends stand up. Mind you that was almost 50 people in the meeting discussing their updates. Yup I bolted. They tried to follow up with me after for additional interviews but I ignored it and moved on with my life.

BioTech :P

The job market is still kind of cold in terms of open roles and many orgs are going through a soft hiring freezes, and instead only hiring for critical roles. For example my company has no IC roles open currently and only listing some managerial roles on the career page. I think things will pick up early next year. Many orgs and teams have been running very lean this past year and I’m sure most of you have been feeling overworked.

Having a kid is a major milestone so time perception might be tied to that moment

Yes we implemented Jitsi in our one our apps. Was working fine.

Hawaii is for sure more expensive than Cali. My pockets were hurting when my vacation ended.

I really enjoy your writing. You seem to have a talent for it.

Those managers sound like pushovers.

I’m trying to use social media and twitter less. I used Threads for a bit but it just reminded me how much of a time waste these apps are.

I see a handful on LinkedIn from state schools working at top quant firms.

Dream for me + running multiple ventures along side it.

I don’t think you realize how hard it is to find good engineers abroad. And if you do find them, they’re already likely employed at a good job and would want a significant pay bump to leave.

Levels.fyi seems decent

Ah yes, the classic blame the immigrants take.

Sounds interesting. Would appreciate any tutorials or guides.

Yes because of all the red tape and scalability issues

Yeah the OP seems kind of elitist?

Why is this flagged? It’s worth having the discussion

Lack of due diligence?

Insurance and Banks are a good bet.

Any available open source APIs?

No free trial or sample testing
