I was very unproductive at Meta because there was so much tribal knowledge context gatekept by others who were too busy to continuously offer any meaningful support despite giving lip service. In other words the flow of information sucked a

I very much advocate for this, but only if you're past the HR/recruiter screen. Onsites, coding screen, second round, etc.

Cambridge no brainer. Amazon is not a particularly good company to work for, and if you could land an offer there, surely you could land a better offer by the time you graduate. The opportunity cost here is very minimal if you think slightl

Mine is similar to this. In addition the anxiety comes from me thinking that most interactions are banal and more about “trading good vibes and energy” with the other person rather than a genuine deep conversation, and I fear that my facial

Making 500-700k at a FAANG right now. Money certainly makes me worry less, not complaining. I still feel like a cog in a machine. If anything, it further isolated all the problems in my life that money could never really solve. Meaningful f

No this is not rare at all. Meta offers E5 ("senior" level) new hires a 400-500k total package in the US (given that you negotiate, I know the levels.fyi numbers are a bit lower), and this isn't some exception. If your perfor

Got a small heater (size of a small PC speaker) for 20 bucks on Amazon, most effective purchase I’ve made in recent memory, super effective for cold fingers and doesn’t even need to be on all the time

Why does nicotine work? Asking this as someone who has similar problems to OP (but an average programmer) and have been vaping every day, all day long, for the last few years, and don’t mind a shorter lifespan.

No it’s not unrealistic. Any decently bright and hard working college student studying computer science can get that 100k+ even as an intern. So technically this saving can start before age of 21. By age 25 they can already make 300k+. But

Recently went through the leetcode circus myself and ended up with an offer in this range, thus 4-5x my previous salary, and I have 7 years of experience. The interview had almost nothing to do with my work experience (which isn't that

I am having a similar problem as OP (in my 30s now but yearn for the social environment of 20 somethings) and am debating digital nomading a bit to change my environment, as where I live seems to pose a lot of psychological inertia since I

This price is on the high end. But many people like myself don't have the courage, confidence, looks, or complex social skills required to succeed by going to a bar and trying to pick up a girl. Then when you look at how much time and

All it took to "debunk" the lab leak hypothesis is to call it racism. So easy. I'm sure someone from China must have realized by now how convenient of a "get out of jail free card" this is.

Same here. The reason was that the weaker and less privileged (female) candidate would have more to gain from getting the job; the stronger candidate would have no problems getting a job elsewhere anyways. How do you argue against this? At

Over the past few years I've definitely been addicted to outrage porn and anything related to SJWs and cancel culture. Now I impulsively read YouTube comments to feel like I'm right. None of this has added any value to my life, if

Post title resonated with me because I've been failing to Leetcode my way to a decent level for the past 5 years, but I know the reason why is because I simply haven't put in enough time and effort. I find that as long as I keep g

Great comment, could you expand on "Someone broke down to me why china is the way it is from an informed and educated position in a way I found mostly compelling"?

This is a cautionary tale... I'm considering doing the same myself, and hopefully can get the most out of it. What would some of you have done differently? Considering mostly East Asia, and will be having a remote full time developer j

The usual HN sentiment seems to be that take-home assignments are degrading, whiteboarding interviews are broken, which can be summarized as "I take a lot of pride in my craft, how dare you ask me undergrad trivia"; whereas the Bl

What I like about wsb is it is fueled by endless optimism and celebrates wins and losses equally, with a sense of humor that the rest of Reddit or the internet cannot tolerate anymore. In the comments of a good due diligence (DD) post, you

Having recently joined WSB in time for the GME hype, I realized that this might be one of the first times in history where enough retail "investors" (a lot of meme-loving kids with Robinhood) have gathered under a common cause to
