Internal is best. Show leadership within your team. Take things off your managers plate and do it for him/her. Don’t go around your manager. Given there is a lot of fluidity in the market now, some team will lose their EM. Ask for the

Many flaws with the argument, here is one: It is hard if not impossible to attribute an individual employee's performance to company growth. Many variables can impact company growth - so even if engineering does their job,product many

30% of basecamp employees left → 70% stayed in spite of the 6-month severance. I think everyone should evaluate if the company we worked for offered a 6-month severance how many would stay?

I think you need to go to a smaller company not a startup necessarily. Go to a company that has PMF, working on scaling but the org size is still small to have meaningful relationships. Also you should be able to see your work directly impa

What if we invert this. Assume the company pays the same irrespective of location. Should an employee in SF or NY have a lower standard of living compared to an engineer who lives in a low COL area?

You used words like "buzzwords" which makes you sound facetious. I know you aren't, but others could get the wrong idea. This is a very useful piece of advice that should be taught in CS 101.

I don’t think YouTube believes WHO is accurate. This is just CYA. The media gave Facebook a hard time about fake news. With this policy, they’ll be on the clear pointing to WHO.
