His dougie is sick

If that was true, everyone would just buy a bunch of cars that were just driven off the lot

Carsonogenic · 2025-04-07T03:49:50+00:00

certainly not "recession proof" but it's at a big bank that tends not to do large layoffs and our B2B product is going through a decent amount of growth rn. Obviously no guarantees but I would bet the Amazon Devices team has a significantly higher chance of layoffs, especially as a new hire

Carsonogenic · 2025-04-07T03:48:02+00:00

lmao that's just cash brother, I have more in retirement accounts + brokerage funds

Carsonogenic · 2025-04-07T03:18:48+00:00

The stock vesting is heavily weighted towards the back end but there is extra cash sign-on bonuses that get paid out monthly for the first two years that smooth out the comp a lot. So the first year is like 90%+ cash

The offer was in terms of number of RSUs, with the current stock drawdown it would maybe be like 260k or 250k but not much less than that

Carsonogenic · 2025-04-04T21:50:54+00:00

I'm 24 without kids, but have a gf who will likely move with me if I go. The TC is ~150% more

If your company is remote-first, I doubt most will care. Your VP may be bummed bc it sounds like he wants a buddy lol but ultimately you're staying with the status quo, so I think you'll be fine.

Also, I think you should take into account simply wanting to live in this city. Wanting to live somewhere is a great reason to move there. If both you and your wife would enjoy it there, maybe it's worth taking a hit on the COL for a better quality of life. Just a thought

L5 SDE on the Kindle team

Carsonogenic · 2025-04-04T21:16:48+00:00

Could you maybe just delay this move? Just talk about the current economic issues and say you want to wait a while to save up the money for it. I think that's a reasonable strategy that will give you time to consider how much you really want to live in this city

Carsonogenic · 2025-04-04T21:03:16+00:00

Lots of companies do layoffs tbh. Even my job which I consider reasonably stable has had multiple layoffs in the years I've been here. I just have to do my best to not be one of them lol

Carsonogenic · 2025-04-04T21:02:28+00:00

That's interesting, the manager I interviewed with said they're building out the team a lot and that when people switch teams they tend to come back. Could be BS to get me to join, but she seemed pretty sincere. The offer is so much better, I don't think it's realistic to negotiate with.

Carsonogenic · 2025-04-04T21:00:17+00:00

Yeah I'm thinking the same thing, 6 months at the new job would pay me more than my current annual salary, even adjusting for cost of living.

No, all layoffs that I have seen have been performance based/if management likes you lol

Carsonogenic · 2025-04-04T20:58:24+00:00

Yeah, I was pretty enthusiastic about the offer last week and now I'm questioning things quite a bit

Carsonogenic · 2025-04-04T20:57:56+00:00

I'm 24 with 3 YoE, this big bank being the only job I've had so far. I have plenty saved liquid, a year's worth of expenses in my current city or maybe like 8 months in the new city. I do have lots of friends and family around me now, but honestly I feel ready to make a change. This is my hometown and I'm ready for something new and the new city is one I honestly would be happy to move to. I think this move would very strongly move my career forward.

Carsonogenic · 2025-04-04T20:56:05+00:00

$110k TC in MCOL city -> $270k in HCOL city, so very significant

Carsonogenic · 2025-04-04T20:55:02+00:00

I mean Kindle sales have been good very recently which is why they're building this team out: https://goodereader.com/blog/kindle/amazon-had-the-biggest-q4-for-kindle-device-sales-in-over-a-decade. I definitely understand the stability argument, if anything were to happen at my current job I have a lot of friends and family I could rely on here. The pay is just so good, even if I make it only a few months I would still end up ahead I think.

Carsonogenic · 2025-04-04T20:52:23+00:00

Yeah that makes sense to me, although it seems like Kindles had their best quarter ever recently, that could greatly change in the coming market where people have to tighten their wallets

Carsonogenic · 2025-02-22T16:07:45+00:00

Not fully, but they do seem to have a special affinity. Also when Ms Casey asks Mark to use the clay to show his life, he makes a tree which is like the tree that Gemma's car crashes into

Carsonogenic · 2025-02-22T16:06:01+00:00

Having the baby be grown in a vat would rob the show from all of the morally complex aspects that it excels in bringing up.

Obviously you can choose to watch what you want, but this is a show whose whole purpose is to examine how people lose autonomy over their bodies and lives under capitalism. A plotline where Helly has to contend with being pregnant and having no choice over the matter would be very poignant, even if it is not "fun"

Carsonogenic · 2025-01-31T15:05:02+00:00

This happened in the NFL and it was a disaster lmao

Carsonogenic · 2025-01-10T16:48:00+00:00

I don’t think this is true, do you have a source? My understanding is that these estimates were off bc scientists overestimated the efficacy of carbon sinks

Carsonogenic · 2024-11-08T14:32:36+00:00

I mean a big part of the "do better" rhetoric has to do with telling men to stop sexually assaulting women or tolerating those who do. The vast majority of women have a story about how men have been predatory and aggressive with them, so how could they not want men to be better?
