I very much advocate for this, but only if you're past the HR/recruiter screen. Onsites, coding screen, second round, etc.

Cambridge no brainer. Amazon is not a particularly good company to work for, and if you could land an offer there, surely you could land a better offer by the time you graduate. Th…

lovely

Ask Channel AI ( http://askchannel.ai ) allows you to quickly find relevant videos, quotes, and timestamps from any YouTube channel. Channels that are not yet indexed or imported c…

Mine is similar to this. In addition the anxiety comes from me thinking that most interactions are banal and more about “trading good vibes and energy” with the other person rather…

15k? Where?

Making 500-700k at a FAANG right now. Money certainly makes me worry less, not complaining. I still feel like a cog in a machine. If anything, it further isolated all the problems …

I've always been an avid listener of health-related podcasts (e.g. Dr. Huberman), and so me and a friend got together to build a tool where you can ask any health-related question,…

No this is not rare at all. Meta offers E5 ("senior" level) new hires a 400-500k total package in the US (given that you negotiate, I know the levels.fyi numbers are a bit lower), …

Got a small heater (size of a small PC speaker) for 20 bucks on Amazon, most effective purchase I’ve made in recent memory, super effective for cold fingers and doesn’t even need t…

Reminds me of the “first time?” meme

Why does nicotine work? Asking this as someone who has similar problems to OP (but an average programmer) and have been vaping every day, all day long, for the last few years, and …

No it’s not unrealistic. Any decently bright and hard working college student studying computer science can get that 100k+ even as an intern. So technically this saving can start b…

Recently went through the leetcode circus myself and ended up with an offer in this range, thus 4-5x my previous salary, and I have 7 years of experience. The interview had almost …

I am having a similar problem as OP (in my 30s now but yearn for the social environment of 20 somethings) and am debating digital nomading a bit to change my environment, as where …

Actually these days there are many posts of people who are making double that.

This price is on the high end. But many people like myself don't have the courage, confidence, looks, or complex social skills required to succeed by going to a bar and trying to p…

How low can their IQ be if they can solve Leetcode mediums in 30 minutes?

All it took to "debunk" the lab leak hypothesis is to call it racism. So easy. I'm sure someone from China must have realized by now how convenient of a "get out of jail free card"…

Same here. The reason was that the weaker and less privileged (female) candidate would have more to gain from getting the job; the stronger candidate would have no problems getting…

Over the past few years I've definitely been addicted to outrage porn and anything related to SJWs and cancel culture. Now I impulsively read YouTube comments to feel like I'm righ…

Especially considering Contagion was filmed close to 10 years ago...

Post title resonated with me because I've been failing to Leetcode my way to a decent level for the past 5 years, but I know the reason why is because I simply haven't put in enoug…

Great comment, could you expand on "Someone broke down to me why china is the way it is from an informed and educated position in a way I found mostly compelling"?

This is a cautionary tale... I'm considering doing the same myself, and hopefully can get the most out of it. What would some of you have done differently? Considering mostly East …
