This is completely company and personality dependent. Unless you're a single digit hire at a very fratty startup, I wouldn't sweat it.

Totally agree with your point about zuckerberg. Zuckerburg evolved over time, but the culture did not, to my knowledge, radically diverge from zuckerberg. Facebook as a whole made that same cultural journey to maturity, which I think only r

During my exit from a previous employer over a CEO whose sexual misconduct makes Uber look like the ACLU, one of our investors gave me the advice that "the CEO sets the culture". The context there was that if the CEO and I didn&#x

Amazon has some notoriously harsh environments, but my understanding is they're harsh due to (perhaps unreasonable) work rigor, rather than issues with sexual harassment by management, yes?

Internal transfer is a great path to this. If you can't get hired in stack A, but can in stack B, get a job somewhere that employs B but is short A. PMs will often take any willing candidate, and in no time you'll be "one of

DC native, former SF resident: not really, any more. You can swing it, but it won't be fun. It's more comparable to SF than it is to someplace like portland. At least DC/DMV proper. Once you get into the "baltimore"

Seattle is a lesser example. I say lesser because, relative to the other "second tier" cities, it's still pretty expensive. Regardless, my take home pay stayed the same, and my rent went way down for a house instead of an apa

Every cringeworthy, try-hard job listing does not call for a cringeworthy, try-hard medium post. Keep scrolling. Karma has a way of sorting these things out.

That implies an inversion of cause and effect - that the inability to exit is doing damage, and that companies want to go public but are unable. That's a different argument entirely, and doesn't feel reflective of the current fund

I'm pleasantly surprised by that selection! I expected aerogarden clones, which are IMO way to productized and small for any kind of serious gardening, but those ikea racks are close to what you'd find in a real hydro setup for nu

I worked at palantir. As a designer. Grains of salt. The value is in the dataset. Most of what's on top is handmade by fresh grads. Spend your effort getting access to the firehose, and the rest will follow.

Your comment's parent is more nuanced. A surplus of attention signals desperation, and ends up undermining your efforts. There's a fine line.

Does cost matter? Tentatively, there may be a compelling case for jail time for something like this. "Intent to cause harm" isn't necessarily physical harm. The concept of legal assault is one that could be useful. Though it
