My first company and my first layoff how lucky am I? (Blind)
- feebreeze (ByteDance): It’s a blessing to have layoff experience so early in your career. I’m not joking either
- failer (PayPal): Sorry to hear that. It’s natural to feel angry, hurt and sad. But realize that any layoffs are a reflection of the leadershit and their incompetence and not you.
- cal123ai (SambaNova Systems): Don’t look at it as bad luck, but good luck. A lot of new grad don’t get a big name like PayPal on their resume. You are already ahead. Layoff is normal nowadays, your next employer won’t think much, just say you are impacted by company restructuring. The hardest one to land is the first job and you already have that under your belt. Again, congrats on being ahead of most new grad. Now focus on landing your next.
150K is now reality for Tech workers (Blind)
- SatanY (ex-Microsoft): 150k is a very good pay. About 5x the national average. If unhappy, go home.
- ArNoooo (Block): No they aren’t. You just work at a shit company that doesn’t pay.
- ㄨㄨ (ex-Google): Hate to break it to you: companies are still offering really good packages for senior level, it’s just the market is flooded with people trying to find a job.
Feel depressed looking at people’s TC here (Blind)
- ktgD25 (Google): You are 25 years old. Put things in perspective
- TUSF66 (Google): You’re only 25 though. I didn’t start making the kind of money you’re talking about until much later in my career. How many 25 year olds do you think make 300k in America? You’re crushing it!
- lamdaq (NVIDIA): Comparison is the thief of joy.
MapQuest’s app surges to No. 1 in Navigation after refusing to rename Lake Ontario (r/technology)
- Otaku-Scientist: We may have abandoned MapQuest years ago, but MapQuest never abandoned us
- Vig_2: For anyone who is trying MapQuest out, do know that they have a very small development team and all of this new attention has sent them into a frenzy. They are trying to address all of their shortcomings and they are trying to add android auto as well.
- robodrew: Honestly it’s only right that a map app that actually tells you the real names of places on the map should be at the top of the list of map apps. It’s literally the most important thing a map can do.
