Feeling bad now that I didn’t switch Job to a FAANG or similar.
Feeling broke after 5 years of work. Finding it difficult to afford a house. Anybody feeling the same? #tech #faang #housing
Absolutely. I didn't realize how much of an impact it made to have FAANG on the resume when job hunting. Our stock dropped 80% since IPO.
You are getting acquired by IBM soon, does that do any good for you.
No? Im not at a shit company
Push your company for more money every 6 months. Ask for raise. Ask for more RSUs. Continuously ask. If they say no, or there's no budget, laugh at them and say the CEO just got a raise, then keep studying and leave as soon as you can. BTW some companies want people to leave. They want to hire young hungry desperate 3rd world migrant slaves and abuse them. Then when the so called slaves don't want to work for like slaves anymore the com0any doesn't want that employee anymore because of the limit-less pool of 3rd world desperate immigrants. The stream of idiots willing to kill themselves while being fleeced by the C-suite is endless... so companies can just keep abusing you and under-paying you for the area you live in. The only waynto break the cycle, everyone needs to start their own companies and say f-off to the business dip shits that do nothing, except jerk their dicks off to strippers after inhaling a ton of cocaine together. The business types are fiscally raping everyone and contribute nothing to society for the 50 million dollar they get paid
Did… you get an offer from a FAANG?
I got from uber in 2022. Didn’t join due to uncertainty at that time.
Are you kidding ? Synopsys did well in last 5 years … stock almost 5 times
Fuck faang , overrated bullshit, you learn nothing most of the stuff is internal just stupid wrappers over open source software. You get no wlb, career mobility is now gone with layoff season, hikes are low to non existent now a days, no job security, politics that would kill your motivation . I hear my friends in non faang who earn more too
Touch grass... which company pays more than faang??? You are ignorant to your privilege
In general: higher TC, higher stress. You sure you wanna work at Amazon or Meta? I’ve heard so many horror stories about how dysfunctional those places are
Buy house in a place where there are no FAANG engineers or FAANG offices
TC??
220k now
are you in HCOL? thats not bad money
But you’re probably not broken mentally so that’s a plus.
LOL Yeah, dysfunction is exclusively a FAANG trait.
My TC and mental health is 🥜
