i thought they said average score doesn’t correlate at all with how you do once you’re in? a lot of high performers only get in 2nd or 3rd time and barely.

even if you wont. millions will apply and try to break down the doors to get in

you can google the salary range, its not too hard. protip: its pretty low unless you have competing offers then it can be a little larger than your largest competing.

but as a us citizen i could care less if the govt is spyin on non citizens. in fact, it might even be their job to, in order to keep us safe. the us isn’t responsible for treating everyone in the world as it’s citizens

i actually do believe the washington post and the entire media establishment is a cult. it worhships on the altar of neoliberalism and globalism

are you joking? the only reason publishers have any power is academia is full of a areoagance and people chasing “prestige” and getting into good journals

no? you really don’t see the difference between a foreign hostile government spying vs the domestic one doing it? i don’t think either is good but just because one happens doesn’t mean it’s in our interest to allow another. especially from

because those 10k fail the interviews. and no they will relocate and they do it often.

ew. I was with you until you said it requires chrome.

It’s essentially the same in internal levels just different title. For instance at Microsoft most managers are Principal level. And google most are atleast l5. (with some exceptions). But instead of being called principal engineer they are

right but thinking for instance. would it make sense to leave to facebook just for the comp bump at l4 even if you really like your job at google? just because being a new hire would give you more comp?

when comparing msft/amzn with the rest keep in mind the state tax and CoL. that being said goog and fb also have seattle offices. but msft and amzn have bay area offices that pay more as well

stock values are crazy high right now in general. what was 80k a few years ago is 160 or more at a lot of these companies

l5 is terminal level for vast majority. meaning you can stay at it for 10+ years and not be expected to move up without hard work and luck

by oculusthrift 8y ago
no offense but when i hear leaving after 5 months it just sounds like serious underperformance.

these are obviously new hire figures (includes signing etc). does anyone know if one can expect similiar compensation if hired as l3 and move up to l4 versus if hired as l4 directly. wondering if it’s better to switch jobs for promotions in

still not sure why we have both a "macbook" and "macbook air". they seem to occupy the same market segment. i thought apple was all about minimizing choices.

really considering getting a scooter. mainly because it can fold up and go on bus or train with me. However main thing stopping me is that i would probably ride it instead of biking and biking gives me physical exercise whereas a scooter is

it doesn’t help that they use square as an example which had its last raise at 6 (they said that was overvalued) and now is worth 30 on open market

am i the only one that’s doesn’t notice windows updates at all? like a lot of people seem to have this issue but i’ve never noticed it

and that’s why we don’t want socialized healthcare in the US. because it shouldn’t be other people’s business

i don’t think you could unequivocally say “you would too”. You’d say the same thing if Evan Spiegel sold out to fb as well but he didn’t. You can argue about whether that was wise but it proves there are people that wouldn’t take the fat pa

this is the same company that threatens other companies that if they don’t patch a vulnerability fast enough, the time will release it to the public. class act

by oculusthrift 8y ago
Sadly the strategy is working. not seeing much mention of breach on HN

by oculusthrift 8y ago
People are burying the lede. They massively covered up a data breach. The same company that forces other companies to release info about their breaches or else releases the vulnerabilities themselves. Google deserves the same backlash as fb

yeah i don’t see how this isn’t obvious.

This is what Java was meant to be. You just compile for the JVM and run anywhere. Also slight nit but Powerpoint is on Mac as well and has been for decades. It actually was initially a mac program and was acquired by microsoft and has been
