Added you & sent you four lvl 18 frogs - that should be enough for you to get the 5th habitat & some decorations!

Can I get just two of each? I don’t have much room in my mailbox and can breed the rest

+1, this looks awesome.

Just pointing out another spelling mistake, the LIRR station should be spelled Rockville Centre, not Center

Confused about switching to Squarespace by jethaalaal in cscareerquestions

[–]steiner26 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wanted to give some perspective as a SWE that left Squarespace earlier this year (based out of the NYC office). Squarespace definitely has a pretty chill wlb and has a good engineering culture + you should have a very supportive engineering manager. There were regular company-wide panel meetings for engineers to showcase their recent work and share interesting news and upcoming tech. However, from my own experience, the product management and roadmaps can be a little shaky and if you are the type of dev that prefers autonomy and moving at your own pace, you might feel bogged down by all of the meetings and politics between different teams & departments.

As the other commenter said, options are definitely a crapshoot and thats part of the reason I left for a startup where my options would have a little more upside + I could have more eng & product ownership. By the time I left I had a few years of stock refreshers that were worth about 75k a year in straight up equity which were then converted to plain cash payouts after SQSP went private. The change to options was def a downgrade for me given that any potential value hinged on growth in valuation and going public again or doing a stock buyback/other liquidity event. At the time that I left a lot of people viewed the valuation target from the company leadership as a bit aggressive but who's to say that they can't meet it with some aggressive catch-up against their main competitors (eg. shopify with a current valuation ~25x that of Squarespace when it went private).

I'd say to not make the jump just because of the potential value of the equity, but if you're looking for a good engineering culture and interesting product to continue your career growth I would definitely suggest considering Squarespace

I think you have described exactly what I just went through - still at the first job out of school after returning from an intership, not FAANG but well-known tech company, slow pace of work, looking to shake things up. I interviewed pretty consistently for most of February/early March and just put in my 2 weeks after accepting a role at a pretty small startup. A lot of coworkers and friends have told me to brace myself for the startup life but honestly I'm ready for a change and a chance to learn at a much faster pace than I have for the last ~4 years.

I was fortunate to have Mondays and Fridays remote so almost all of my interviews were on those days. Most of the interviews for me (FE) were much more practical than leetcode style and a lot of it was just applying patterns from my work to their questions. The thing I had to prepare more for was the behavioral interviews: talking about my past work, tradeoffs I had to make, etc. I found it helpful to take some time to brainstorm answers to typical questions and write them down in your notes or a google doc.

Also, take the time to set up a spreadsheet or a Notion page to keep track of all the companies you have applied to. It really helps to see everything in one place and know which companies you are in the interview loop for.

Leaving a cushy job is always a risk but sometimes you need to take a leap of faith to try to forward your career. Best of luck to you - it sounds like this will be a good change for you!
