I already only do 10 hours of work per week in this pandemic WFH. No one seems to notice. I’m L6 at google. Why not double down and get two “full time” jobs.

I already only do 10 hours of work per week in this pandemic WFH. No one seems to notice. I’m L6 at google. Why not double down and get two “full time” jobs. I’ve heard from my friend in BoA that he works less than 1 hour per day. TC: 800k

Wait until you find out how many people work less than 1 hour per day in the office!

  One of the biggest revelations in this pandemic remote work era is you don't 6 layers of management just to forward emails to each other. Lots of management turns out to be was just for crowd control.

WFH where? Are you paying 400k+ in taxes? What are you doing with your time? I think I’d go mad if I only worked 1hr a day with these lockdowns.

  There is so much stuff to do with your time if you don't have to care about money. For me, personally, it'd be to invest time in making music, getting good enough in that as my taste is, I just need a lot more free time to practice it. Just like I had when I was a kid learning to program, I've only achieved it due to spending endless hours in experimentation and little projects without usefulness. It's something that is very hard to do, mentally speaking, when you are occupied 8 hours/day with work, I don't have capacity to spend another 4-5 hours/day with music. If I worked 1-2 hours/day I'd definitely have 8-10 hours daily to plunge into it, not only time-wise but my mental capacity would be much more free to put effort in it. And that can be any hobbies or passions you have that work hours don't allow you to pursue, if money isn't an issue I'm sure you will find ways to fill your time with what you enjoy doing. If you really enjoy work, well, then you have much more time to work on things you deem worth of.

nice! how do you manage that? I have a system that tracks how long I use my work machine for, and visualizes it in a bar that is 10 units long. I got by doing this for about 15 months before they started somewhat catching on. Productivity is still the same, but some things are leaky. I'm nowhere near your TC though. I feel like you are a smarter, more optimized version of me, but I hope to get there someday and that's the path I'm currently on.

How does one get TC 800K ($?) at Google L6? Did you get hired during a stock price collapse?

  How people report their TC is all across the board They could have refresher RSUs, they could have negotiated to stay on and move up, they could just be reporting what they took home after stock price appreciation, they could have offered something special
