Not quite, there are roles I could get. But I am mostly referring to FAANG/Some unicorns in terms of matching comp. None of which will give me the benefit of the doubt, despite my experience. But again, I am quite burned out, so in some ways its in their favor to put me through a rigorous interview process.
Leetcode often filters out burned out employees

- yupper32 5y agoHow much money is that worth to you?
- eropple 5y agoI own a house with a very comfortable mortgage payment less than a twenty minute drive or a 40 minute train ride from downtown Boston. I work from home on interesting problems and I have a great dog. So not a whole lot. There are better ways to live than sucking down cash to be miserable. You can't take it with you.
- granshaw 5y agoNot if you want that level of comp (Sorry if you were already aware and are saying more along the lines of "money isn't everything", but I wanted to make the point)
- tnorthcutt 5y agoAgreed. If you're burned out, consider moving to a lower cost of living area (assuming SFBA or similar is your current situation) and take a lower paying job. The stress of FAANG/startupville doesn't make sense for a lot of people.
- wonderwonder 5y agoThis is good advice for a lot of people but a lot of us have a family and cant get passed the idea of uprooting them for ourselves. I am absolutely fried but I cant pull my kids out of school and my wife away from her family. So I just trudge on to the bitter end.
