Estimate the work that comes in, commit to that work for x amount of time +/- 5-10% variance, evaluate ability to finish it all, and re-balance accordingly, all in all is a pretty effective productivity approach. When the alternative i

They pay top-of-band on an annual re-evaluation basis and offer an all cash <-> all equity choice. So pairing that down to the low end new grad scale at Big N ($150, $180k?), but getting that TC in all cash vs. the $120k base, $30k v

yeah I'd say the track record of ex-Netflix'ers, the comp they say they pay (top of market for your individual skillset), and supporting evidence seems to indicate they walk the talk. Not for everyone though.

Rather significantly disagree. People seek out, form, or join teams basically wherever they go, in whatever they do. While every team has an introvert, every team has a lead that works to pull the introvert into the fold. This is largely th

For sure! I've spent time in orgs that do this approach inherently, and it's tremendously fulfilling, more than ping pong tables and after-work beers ever could be. Shared hardship and superior performance that is greater than the

I recently read Netflix's culture doc, and they outright said they treat employees like a sports team - welcome to the team, perform at your best, you may get benched, you may get cut. There's no shame in getting cut, and you shou

Dialing in a iPad to the zoom w/ the notes/whiteboard app is a good substitute I think a lot about for this.

I mean CoL is a thing. There are some talent asymmetries in DevOps and InfoSec, that could command high salaries/remote work. Remote work in security vs. salaries support this. But for your run of the mil developer -> senior develop

"home grown encryption scheme" seems to imply Zoom is rolling its own crypto, which is tremendously foolish. That isn't exactly the case, per the same article. More Zoom is choosing a poor choice among other choices, of imple

Random Walk and Black Swan are two good reads. Even if you end up not agreeing with the two's takes, they'll make you sufficiently skeptical of how well a book claims to explain the industry, which is a good position to approach i

Virtu financial does this approach, very successful. Its SEC forms explain things better.

Haha this was basically LTCM's publicly stated approach, to be fair.

The article and Mercer's explanation basically explains Virtu's approach, and therefore makes sense wrt known performance vs. methodology from a more public company (Virtu)

how each branch is implementing tech commands is fascinating. - DDS in general seems like a great program. - KR dudes are great and will probably unfuck the AF's tech if they have enough wiggle room and command support against Lockhee

It's a great point, and largely due to legal teams speak a really similar language to business teams, just looking at it from different sides of the same apple. As nearly every company goes digital, security can fall in that same legal

Yes, nailed it. Mgmt/non-sec care about pretty clear, often profit-oriented metrics (ROI, etc.). There is such a clear precedent for successfully internally selling, implementing, and creating buy-in for cost-producing (i.e. infosec) b
