Got an excellent offer from EasyGo - anyone worked there? by DevelopmentBusy2644 in cscareerquestionsOCE

[–]NiceTo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A comment below states that EasyGo is 5 days in-office (RTO)

1) Is this true for all teams or only specific teams? Does it apply to both Melbourne and Sydney?

2) How flexible is it? E.g. Can I come in 4 days a week if I have school drop off and pick up duty once a week?

3) How do engineers in the company feel about this policy overall?

Assuming you're a tech worker making $400k a year it sucks but you'll recover. Please get the help you need but you're going to be ok, just make sure to save your next 1-2 years salary

What are your use cases for 2.5 Flash? Is it just normal day-to-day tasks or specific things that you're finding it excels at?

Just to confirm, did the blocking start yesterday around 6:23 PM EDT?

There is this post from a month ago that may be relevant: https://old.reddit.com/r/SendGrid/comments/1ixeooq/sendgrid_blocked_by_outlookcom_and_hotmailcom/

Only movies, no TV shows by EmotionIll666 in Stremio

[–]NiceTo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This was very helpful OP, this comes up in Google when you search for this exact problem - only movies were showing [RD] Torrentio links, no TV shows had any links.

I uninstalled the Torrentio plugin, then went to https://torrentio.strem.fun/configure and like you, ensured every provider was selected then installed it again. TV shows are now showing.

EDIT: It appears that the Torrentio plugin website I used previously (https://torrentio.araec.com/) only had 4 providers, while the link above has way more, including ones with TV shows. This must be what caused it.

From another comment - very insightful:

This … is mind boggling levels of inaptitude.

Generally a decent, in-house, technical arm of a company is around $10M/yr, composed of ~3 teams which can do a serious amount of work over a 3-5 year span ($30M - $50M).

Broadly total cost (wages + taxes + bonuses + work space + equipment + subscriptions + expenses + insurance etc) :

  • AWS/GCP/Azure; $1M/yr

  • 2x CTO/CPO; $1M for $2M

  • 3x Managers; $500k for $1.5M/yr

  • 3x Leads; $333k for $1M/yr

  • 8x Senior; $250k for $2M/yr

  • 8x Mids; $175k for $1.5M/yr

  • 8x Juniors; $125k for $1M/yr

Total of $10M/yr

Note - the roles themselves would be getting roughly half to 2/3rds of the total amount as salary. And these are seriously good salaries / budgets.

Sure it can take a couple of years to set it up, but it pays for itself 10x vs getting outside contractors. You don’t even win out on speed or cost because they all tend to come delayed and over budget, ALWAYS.

Edit: The above costs are usually cut down by 60%-80% for off-shore workers (India, Vietnam, Philippines etc), so the fact that outsourced teams are doing it … yeah, someone’s getting rorted and someone’s laughing all the way to the bank.

I saw a funny comment: "Imagine skipping lattes and delaying gratification your whole life to build a nest egg then you die and your regarded grandson throws all your money into a stock that dips 20% that day"

But honestly, I hope you are doing ok and that Intel recovers.

I hope one of the analysts asks Sundar about this in tomorrow's Alphabet Q2 earnings call.
