My current one - just white knuckling it until my 1st tranche of RSUs vest.

  Tell me more. What do you wish was different during the interview? What made you accept? What changed?
  • pinewurst 4y ago
    I didn't realize how messed up internal systems were during the interviews or what group dynamics actually were in real life. I judged too much from the hiring manager and the best of my colleagues whom I still think highly of. I thought I could make a difference and they paid really well (not FAANG). What changed was a combination of realizing how little I could actually do, magnified by a whole new tier of VPs hired from Microsoft and Google who brought their loathsome ways with them. One never expects the Spanish Inquisition...

      Do you think this is a problem with the hiring process or impossible to avoid things like this?
      • pinewurst 4y ago
        It's impossible (IMHO) to avoid things like that. In this situation, I couldn't predict the future - hiring a new "leadership" (gack!) that transmogrified the organization I joined.

          Sometimes companies allow people to try a role/team for a handful of weeks before committing. Would that have helped?
          • pinewurst 4y ago
            No, because I couldn’t time share with my previous employer.
