So bored. But golden handcuffs?
Joined ads infra in Jan. Hit the jackpot TC wise as stock price jumped after joining. So boring tho. Anyone else feel the same way? Especially how do you more experienced folks keep yourselves entertained/satisfied? Any advice? TC 410k FY, recurring ~350-370k Yoe 2
Yea, was doing fine TC wise but was bored and wanted to get out of Bay Area and move to NYC. Canât find many interesting well paying roles there so I just quit and am founding a startup with interesting work that will eventually be based out of NYC.
What is it about living in NYC that you like?
I just like downtown areas that donât need a car to get around in general. NYC fits that better than most other cities in US. Also, its about an hour train ride away from where I grew up compared to Bay Area which is a 6 hour plane ride away. Dating scene with better looking women on average doesnât hurt either.
Is it still mostly chinese in ads?
Can we trade? I'm so under paid, only 300K đ
You have a lot of years left. You need to adjust mentally and realize that almost no jobs are always interesting and rewarding. Most are never either of those things.
Wow really? How many years have u been working?
Soak this in and remember the grass is always greener. My entire org got laid off from meta last year and my TC was 750k because of stock appreciation. Market completely changed after that and was lucky to get your same comp at AWS. And I have 11 years xp.
Boring? You donât get UBN every night? đ Ads infra feeling bored is a good joke
Bored of UBN and Sev1
SEV1 sounds exhausting. What is UBN?
What does ur typical day look like?
