Well poo poo maybe I'll actually go ahead and study for L6 and go ask a crypto company for $600k then instead of daydreaming about it and half-assing just for L5. Jesus.

No idea how people are productive on code problems after work. I'd have to quit again or get fired, or accept a big pay cut, to get this level of TC again. The gap in pay between figgies and non-figgies should just close imo so I don't feel bad about not LC4TC.

Hadlock posted:Recruiter was so mad when I asked for more equity, doubly so when I said I was in no rush at the point they're giving an offer, the recruiter's job is to make you happy and accept it. They have buckets of money/influence they can dip into the HM might not be aware/care about, like a signing bonus. I'd be a little chuffed they had the temerity to get mad. there's always the teeth-sucking kayfabe that we both REALLY want this to happen, but gosh the current terms aren't happenable (I have to earn $$/I've gotta ask the company)

What is going on with FAANG? I've had multiple cold calls from recruiters for Facebook, Microsoft, and now Google hiring for hourly contract positions this week and I've never seen that before.

The people that have made millions working at FAANGs have decided they want to take a stand for something after already cashing in on mega figgies. Editor's Note: I do not condemn anyone for their choice of labor and would not quit a figgies job unless it was like egregiously racist or homo/trans-phobic in a way quitting would directly impact and until I had enough money to retire I'd stay.

As a senior dev I currently spend more time discussing requirements and technical feasibility with Product/other management, and higher-level design, than I do writing code. At this point I code problems for interview prep would probably be rather stimulating, especially without the added pressure of being unemployed and NEEDING to do well on this or that interview exercise.

If you did it once, you should be able to wing it. Then just stack enough interviews over time till you pass one and get an offer.

My old company made choosing to resign very easy by offering me status quo as a retention offer, so now I'm going to a new place to manage a team that does some kind of Javascript stuff in the guts of the browser that I have no experience in. Can anyone recommend some reading material on how modern browsers work?

$50k sign on is pretty reasonable if you negotiate for it.

Pre series A Technically bay area but everyone is FTR 300K for SRE is pretty high IMO, I've only seen one non FAANG offer anywhere close to that, that wasn't a manager Also mostly just impressed there's a 50k spread on two newbies, simply because one guy was too shy to negotiate Hadlock fucked around with this message at 13:49 on Oct 29, 2021 |

I got email from a recruiter asking me to interview with bit.io last week. They claim they do a 4-day work-week. Not 4x10, just regular work-days but Friday is part of the weekend. They're also doing no-negotiation published salaries: I think you get either $150k or $170k depending on level. Dropping a day of work seems like a pretty attractive route for a start-up.

Fwiw Google lets employees (with manager approval) transition to part-time work, 80% for 80%. Think you have to work full-time for a while though first
