Microsoft Responds to backlash (Blind)
- 🌎glob (Meta): I love seeing all the engineers with shit performance self-reporting themselves in these threads lmao
‘oh noo I can’t compete with someone who studied engineering under a candlelight in an Indian slum, despite being born in the richest country in the history of the world. Save me daddy trump’ - h1b&h4.ead (Cyberhaven): It’s a terribly weak response. They never once mentioned that they would prioritize hiring an American before considering someone on a visa. That was the original argument from JD Vance, but Microsoft didn’t address it at all.
Instead Microsoft just wants to hide behind a bunch of numbers. But those numbers all indicate that they hired people on a visa. Where is the number that shows they hired Americans? - crazzak (Microsoft): “We’ve been replacing Americans with H-1Bs for years, why is it a problem now?”
Software engineering is solved. Math is solved too. What should one do now? (Blind)
- ashe41co (Apple): If software engineering is “solved” why is so much software total shit?
- IAmBethG (Amazon): Pretty much everything is solved. Nobody starves anymore and shelter is cheap if you aren’t picky. You can buy anything online from China for under \$100. We’re in the end game now. Enjoy!
- ubertosun (Uber): When was math solved? Did you even look at the type of solutions give by AI? Those are bogus and looks only good in theory
My Anthropic referral came from a guy I helped on Blind two years ago. Now I’m in the final stages. (Blind)
- Saccrifiti (ex-Affirm): How was he so sure it was you? What’s your yoe? Is it for a swe role? care to share your process? If you get in, can you help me next?
- Gilliane (ex-Oracle): Sounds like something an Indian would do. Indians are the kindest people and never forget a favor.
- WKzn20 (Akamai Technologies): Awesome… This is the positivity we need, now more than ever….
My husband got laid off and now he’s competing with me for jobs. (Blind)
- EAArne (Silver Lake): And yet here you are sharing his business on blind so we can see how much better you are than him. So you are rubbing it in.
- Egacyi (ex-Yext): Has he tried being Chinese?
- MrCray (Google): Never marry a male engineer, unless you’re also male. Do you really want a husband who works at a feminine sedentary job all day?
Netflix L5 vs Snap L6 (Blind)
- toxicated (Meta): How is ur snap comp 750k when snap stock is down 60% yoy. Are u full of shit?
- layons (Netflix): Layoffs are coming this week at Netflix. There will be more reorg and cuts this year.
- MrWind (Netflix): Few month ago it’s a different story, now consider Netflix’s stock is trending down and news around largest layoff since 2002 will happen this week (it may just be the beginning) plus the keeper tests that continuously managing out people for various reasons, I wouldn’t recommend joining unless you feel more insecure in Snap
