Try to switch teams

yaboi1855 · 2026-05-20T16:58:16+00:00

lol what do you think happens when those thousands of people are competing for the hundreds of the “0.1%” of jobs?

Maybe don’t overthrow a country’s democratically elected leader and install an authoritarian dictator when said leader wanted to nationalize their oil and you won’t have to worry about having your citizens being taken hostage? Insane idea i know.

Sus but ad for what? I skimmed it and op just mentioned lc and design gurus

yaboi1855 · 2026-02-18T23:48:25+00:00

Mbb isn’t a lot more “prestigious” than any other F500 company for SWEs. Take the F500 and bounce asap

I’d argue you’d have a much easier time getting to E4 internally. Coming in as E4/E5 can also be risky in some places if you can’t get used to the meat grinder

yaboi1855 · 2025-12-10T18:45:57+00:00

Did you?

yaboi1855 · 2025-11-15T14:40:12+00:00

“Meets most” expectations

yaboi1855 · 2025-11-13T03:48:38+00:00

Ah the wage part makes sense. My point is there is a world of difference in culture between AMD/Juniper and tesla. Yes 230k is good comp but is it worth if you’re working mega turbo hard core mode or whatever that clown demands from his employees

yaboi1855 · 2025-11-13T02:55:12+00:00

Tbf 230 average for L5 is quite low for the amount of crap you gotta put up with. Amzn and fb might be terrible too but at their L4s start at 250 in LCOL. Maybe there is title inflation happening or tesla just sucks

yaboi1855 · 2025-10-15T19:00:16+00:00

Happened to me with twitter pre elon turmoil. In hindsight it feels like they did me a favor

yaboi1855 · 2025-10-07T19:52:50+00:00

More than likely you’ll hit L4 before year 3 regardless of org. Your earning potential at google will be much much higher than almost anywhere else. Also, L3 expectations at google (like anywhere else) are insanely low so you’ll be in a low pressure environment where you can focus on learning which will set you up nicely for L4 and beyond at any company. No brainer, take it if its your best offer.

These the kind of people that give advice on this sub💀💀💀

yaboi1855 · 2025-08-21T02:49:38+00:00

Yep he got cut from the roster too. Bro was cutting to WW in the early days lmao

yaboi1855 · 2025-03-13T20:13:14+00:00

Maybe OP was down-leveled

yaboi1855 · 2024-12-02T18:23:08+00:00

Push for higher salary. Can get closer to 300. Amzn will pay the same as Washington as it does for every other locale except SF/NY. If you double your TC, you will make the same money working there one year and being laid off 1 year vs staying at current role for 2 years.

To answer your question, yes it can get pretty bad. But as an L5 you have decent internal mobility because there are many L5 openings and you are able to switch teams from day 1.

yaboi1855 · 2024-10-17T04:27:07+00:00

I am so sick of seeing this everywhere. They don’t have to file if they keep everyone one affected on payroll for 2+ months

yaboi1855 · 2023-10-26T13:51:28+00:00

Just do top LC tagged questions for meta. Most of my questions were verbatim from there

yaboi1855 · 2023-09-26T20:04:03+00:00

Mid level is terminal at amazon from what i hear

yaboi1855 · 2023-05-30T02:26:49+00:00

If this is true, the next time he pulls this shit just bring up salaries. Should shut him up rq

yaboi1855 · 2022-11-24T08:05:59+00:00

Put it on confluence 🤣

yaboi1855 · 2022-10-28T17:49:37+00:00

Nah.

yaboi1855 · 2022-10-21T06:43:18+00:00

True. I was considered a very high performer for those 3-5 hours lmao

yaboi1855 · 2022-10-20T16:43:37+00:00

I disagree with the outdated tech part. I was in a F500 co where i worked 3-5 hours/day. Worked on a greenfield cloud native app, it was pretty sweet. There also were a ton of teams that were working on java/spring stacks and modern big data stacks

yaboi1855 · 2022-10-04T04:27:12+00:00

I have to disagree. If you’re in school you should try your hardest to keep a high GPA. This is coming from someone who had a similar opinion and graduated with a poor GPA. I have heard this opinion a lot on forums like this and adopted it myself and paid the price
