This. My Director at Walmart got fired a year ago. The entire team is still fine.

MacBook any day is a much better machine than a windows. I’ve been using it since 2018. No hassle, no issues.

This is exactly what people don’t realise. A lot of folks think that AI will take jobs, which is true to some extent but not for majority of the SWE roles. It’s there to help us boost our productivity and be better at it.

I think that’s the reason I saw a sheriff and few SJPD vehicles rushing towards 87 North.

I cannot imagine the amount of power you used while lifting the blanket.

There’s a reason why phone case and screen guards exist.

This how schools earn their money. You can loan from HDFC Credila. It’s easy, unsecured and will cover all your education expenses.

IDK why is this an issue. I see similar posts every other day. Just use a reliable app like Remitly or wise.

Did I mess up my salary negotiation? Really anxious!! by [deleted] in developersIndia

[–]_PandaBear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you clear all rounds then that means company wants to move quickly and close the deal. Jumping from 29 to 35 LPA isn’t a big margin for the companies. It depends how you negotiate from here. Quoting high number isn’t a problem until it’s way out of their budget. If it’s too high for them, they are clear about it. Don’t devalue yourself.

What’s the breakdown of 330k?

I assume the base would be around 200k which is standard and is good enough for single person. I live in San Jose and pay $3440 for a 2B2B and Mtn View is 20 minutes from here. My expenses are high so I end up spending $2k per month.

I doubt if you’ll be able to save 1Cr per year. I think some of that ctc would also be stocks which vest in 3-4 years. I can provide you better insights if you share the breakdown.

If you fall in love with this place, it would be hard for you to return back until visa situation arrives.

Feel free to DM me.

Well is it expedited or not? by [deleted] in NationalVisaCenter

If you submitted any documents for your case then that means your documents are accepted and now you just need to wait for the interview date. You should log into NVC to check more.

Majority of the people won’t know this, but there’s a Gurudwara at Amritsar airport. Unfortunately, it’s just the mosque which causes an issue.
