It's a straightforward comparison in the area. Below Principal/Staff, Microsoft's stock awards are a (very unfunny) joke and their comp is pretty meh. I left in 2018. I was 63 (first level senior) and had offers from Google

To be fair Tritium's half-life is significantly less than radium. You really don't want to be breathing any radium dust if you can at all avoid it, which is a good reason we stopped putting it in things. But if it's in a se

It's a computer technology. Computers, and the scale they enable, are dystopian enablers of late-stage capitalism, fascism, and other exploitation. Computers are the difference. While you could in theory pay a bunch of people to watch
