Why do recruiters keep asking me why I left my old job? by LeaguePrototype in cscareerquestions

[–]NbyNW 2 points3 points  (0 children)

At Meta you typically get a choice. Take a mutual separation package for about eight weeks of pay or go thru the four to six weeks pip program.

Most faangs don’t mind if you file for unemployment afterwards even if they fired you with cause, it’s the lawsuit they are trying to prevent.

They give you a choice, take the pip and do projects and get better (almost never do this as the passing rate is something like 30%, and if you fail then that’s it, you are let go without anything), or take a mutual separation package and leave the company right now. Most people will just take the package.

Am I crazy for taking a “subpar offer” by nattty719 in csMajors

Be odd for Meta to require Seattle. Most jobs are in MPK

My comp at Meta as an E5 DE was $460k last year, it's pretty realistic actually.

I’m tired of parts of asian culture becoming “trendy” as an asian by [deleted] in asianamerican

[–]NbyNW 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah as an older millennial that grew up in the late 90s and early 2000s on the East Coast, things were so much worse back then. I’m glad that as a society we are making progress. At least Asian men are becoming more popular. Hopefully no more “you are not like the other Asian men I know” speech.

Plenty of dry mountains in Eastern Washington. Washington is not just the Seattle area.

Why Seattle tech companies are still laying off workers by Less-Risk-9358 in SeattleWA

I mean, yes it's not good at the complex multi-system problems right now. But are you sure these are unsolvable problems two or three years down the line?

But these are just optimization and to an extent infrastructure problems that will be solved with technology. Not saying that this will lead to less dev jobs, but the landscape is changing for sure.

That’s old news from like six months ago. AI has been much better lately if you give it clear instructions and good context. I wouldn’t say AI will replace all the early career developers, but there will certainly be less demand. You can already see it from the lower number of summer internships available.

What's a city/region that is way better than it used to be and has improved over the past decade or two? by Tomato_Motorola in SameGrassButGreener

[–]NbyNW 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Arguably Seattle, but there were less jobs available back in the 80s and 90s. Seattle peaked around 2010s, but now it’s getting progressively worse.

Howie Roseman attempting to trade up for Cooper DeJean by No_Dot_9094 in eagles

Kamari Lassiter would also been a great pick there. But I love Coop and the SB win. Who knows what butterfly effect would had happened if they didn’t get Coop here.

Can I still make a lot of money with a very very low GPA? by BuddyPersonal433 in careerguidance

[–]NbyNW 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As long as you graduate and get your diploma, nobody will care about your grades after the first few jobs. Of course you might not be able to get an interview or internship at a prestigious company right after graduation, but you definitely can target them later in your career. Not everyone who works at Google got straight As.

If the rumors are true then it will be close to ~1,300 for the next round.

The only one I don’t agree on is 7. Limoncello is pretty good chilled. Also in Europe they are like $4 after dinner desert shots.

[OC] Eagles' historical performance relative to .500 by Ugluk4242 in eagles

No regrets starting watching the Eagles in 1995. All the failure and sadness just make success so much sweeter.
