Had an in-person 1-1 with my boss today. Was dreading this bc I hadn’t completed a task that was supposed to be done by the 1-1. —————————————————————- I burst out in tears, and then boss comes over and gives me masculine pats on my shoulder. I don’t know why but I felt compelled to give him a hug,...Read more
Mediocre means politics heavy Right questions to ask?

Let's assume governments want a backdoor. Who will be responsible writing that backdoor? How will this backdoor get deployed? What experience/citizen status is needed? I doubt backdoor are checked back into the source code in main branch.
Growing up I didn't really care much about my career. My parents and grandparents were both really well off, so I literally accepted the first job I ever applied to not caring too much about pay as I always assumed i would "grow up" later . Im an swe here at microchip and my primary responsibilities...Read more
Trying to move into big tech and out of defense. Interesting work in drone software/control. I don’t hear anything back from Anduril even though they are hiring and coming from a prime shouldn’t be a huge holdup. Any thoughts on the company and how to get noticed? #anduril
Based on LCA filling records Accenture files thousands of H1Bs every year. But on LinkedIn in their every job postings they mention no sponsorship available.
Joined a new team a month back. Was onsite today and I took a fatass sh*t and was practically destroying the toilet like its alien spaceship annihilating human race. Some guy walked in and sat in the stall next to mine, and he starts bombing as well, it kinda turned into a fierce competition. When I...Read more

Hello everyone, I work as a contractor for Amazon (not AWS org) and I have interviewed for full time L5 role with AWS. I had to do the full 4 interview loop.

How are you guys dealing with workplace politics in below scenarios? 1. Credit stealing by colleagues 2. Excessive emails cc'ing superior to demonstrate importance 3. Adding moot points in a meeting in the name of providing "valuable input". 4. Code sharing without crediting work. 5. In general tot...Read more
Been down for hours.. RIP #google #youtube #alphabet
These days the typical TC range for senior developers at FAANG is around $400K~$600K. Someone told me that these figures are so much inflated. Even just 10 years ago, the top software companies were only paying $120K~$180K for similar talents, which is 3.3X appreciation. On the contrary, over the ...Read more
