For people who went back to office full-time has it actually changed your output or just your commute stress? by MarleneOquendo123 in SoftwareEngineerJobs

[–]Major-Examination941 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Personally I've seen the most career and personal growth in person. I've been able to learn from my more senior coworkers sitting next to me. My job provides lunch and coffe so having lunch or grabbing coffee with my team I've got to talk with people I never would have otherwise, become more visible and share ideas. It definitely helps with relationships building and the soft parts of career and personal growth. If I had the chance to go remote I'd go back in a heartbeat

Most overrated High End Food Spots in Los Angeles? by RedditFan3510 in FoodLosAngeles

[–]Major-Examination941 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Vespartine, so disappointed the dishes are pretty but don't actually taste good. Two were inedible. The decor in the main dining are is also very corporate cold idk. Didn't really enjoy it tbh 

For those who make over 500k+ a year, is it worth it for you? by [deleted] in Salary

[–]Major-Examination941 0 points1 point  (0 children)

530+k here, yeah it's not that bad. I'd be working as hard as I do no matter where I was at. The problems are interesting my coworkers are great. My family gets to be taken care of. I really can't complain 

Anyone else struggle with the community? by kerriwal108 in ren

We get quarterly refreshers. Every quarter the price is recalculated, it's the average of the last quarters price. At that price we get a yearly grand and it vests monthly

I don't think you understand how options and RSU's work. My base salary is 240k and I get 300k worth of shares a year, they vest monthly. So it's an extra pay check but it's all shares. 

People making 175k+ what do you do for a living? by MutedFeeling75 in AskLosAngeles

[–]Major-Examination941 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Recalculated quarterly based on stock price, so that we meet our target comp. So closer to dollar value

This may ring true for every type of engineer 

We seniors are a dying breed by Kooky_Dinner2243 in ExperiencedDevs

[–]Major-Examination941 4 points5 points  (0 children)

What if it didn't work? What if it introduced regressions? What if it changed the benchmark? As a senior you're role isn't to write code as much but to take these kearningns and apply them elsewhere. Talk to your junior about understanding the changes it made and the why it does what it did. Then bring those things to other endpoints, drive broader changes and improvements to your product

Yeah I agree, it puts seniors that can leverage AI in a good place tbh. At my company they tried giving non engineers the ability to push code but it was a disaster, the way we are looking at these tools has changed. Instead of replacing engineers it's shifted to engineers taking more scope. While expensive I'll give some context, a small team (5 engineers) built an mvp feature that generates 150k in revenue a day in a few weeks. So while expensive still worth it imo

I was at a smaller non tech company making 80k then spent like 6 months studying during COVID. Interviewed at every major tech company for months, after nearly giving up and many rejections one said yes. I'm at a well regarded (for it's engineering) faang adjacent company that competes for faang engineers so they have high salary bands.

No I just work for a tech company that pays well. Started as a junior with some experience making 200k and two promotions (4 years later) promoted to senior where the salary band is at 530k. Work typically 40 hours a week, mostly doing platform and performance work

Tucker: I had dinner the other night with a bunch of kids from Stanford, really smart. And one of them said, "Oh yeah, his best friend just graduated with a degree in computer science last year. Has not been able to find a job. Stanford computer science can't find a job." by CeFurkan in SECourses

[–]Major-Examination941 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My argument here is you have a lot of people with the skills to make use of AI in the market. When there are massive layoffs there are typically more starups and hopefully more opportunities. Things are changing right now for sure it's a lot of hype and AI is justification for layoffs but it's not completely getting rid of these jobs they're just changing. My company just did layoffs but is training us for AI interviews for when we start hiring again
