   wait, can you explain this to me? How does refinancing the home in this example give them a 500k windfall? eli5 plz

   I don't believe this. Google doesn't have badge readers to exit a meeting room... sounds heavily dramatized

    I guess we just have different experiences man. The people I know, love, and associate with don't give a fuck if you fish, hunt, or own guns. Plenty of people own trucks, not everyone is vegan, tons of people love sports including fo

    I hear this often. I would like to see an analysis, breakdown, or a real life comparison that suggests this, and for which tier of engineers this is true. I think two things; 1) non bay area tech workers severely underestimate the total c

    I suppose the culture, politics, and traditions. Bay Area is generally quite liberal and tolerant, even if it is not the most diverse. Tech workers tend to be highly educated, well traveled, and open to new ideas. In contrast, I feel lik

    I don't follow this line of reasoning. Jeff Bezos decides where to put Amazon's new HQ based on how quickly he can get home? Demand for his time is probably already spread all over the globe, I'd imagine many of his importan

    I feel like the South has a long way to come before the average tech worker would want to live and work there. You couldn't pay me enough (literally since comp is so low out there, but also kind of metaphorically as well) to go work a

    in my experience, knowing that you're doing better than average doesn't help this mindset. OP craves money, and an excess of success. Unless you fought for a long time to get out of the "average" bracket (which many so

    Node is not a language per se. Its an environment built around JavaScript and npm with some framework-like features, like eventing.

    I suppose the answer to your question depends on your definition of growth. Succeeding at a large company requires a certain set of skills; I've found the level complexity to be higher, the scope of systems to be wider, and the codebas

    check out a book called "Godel, Escher, Bach". It's an incredible book about recursion in life, and in some sense makes the argument that consciousness arises fundamentally from recursive loops (a system examining itself)

    You have to adjust for seniority. For example, new grads are not usually hired into PM roles. If you compare a Ln SWE to a Ln PM (at least at FAANG companies where I have experience) SWE's will almost always earn more than PMs
