YOLO
I peek at Blind every now and then (and take everything I read with a grain of salt) but main takeaway is that there are plenty of people at FAANGs who pull in a good amount of money but are completely miserable because they have allowed themselves to get wrapped up in a rat race where all they can think of is their next raise/promotion within some arbitrary leveling system to measure their self worth against.
Also reminded with how money is not happiness with the crazy story with Jussie Smollett staging his own hate crime because he was depressed about his salary of $1m a tv season.
- throw-away-5000 8y agoI think they're completely miserable because they don't know how good they actually have it. If they can unwrap their ego from the rat race then they would be much happier.

- xiphias2 8y agoI was working at Google and I'm really happy to read what's going on on Blind to be able to talk about the worst problems that are going on that you can't talk about on the internal system. At the same time it's still a great place to work at as long as you find the right team (especially team lead).
