From their career page > Most of the team is in NYC and SF, but candidates from anywhere in the Americas are welcome to apply. We hope to work with you regularly in person and sponsor quarterly work weeks.

I am in a LDR and hence have a shared account. I also do spend significant amount of time away from my primary location. This is just going to be annoying.

It's ridiculous how much wages have stagnated here in Germany even with sky high energy prices and inflation. I feel like I am the only one who asks for "more" and hence in many places just after or during HR interview they w

I spend 5 years doing mathematics and still can't wrap my head around lot of maths. If you really want to see the difficulty in Computer science you'll have to go explore the theoretical stuff which at the end is just maths.

Working as a data scientist for last 8 years and have never used excel. Only time I had to open an excel with data was when some company sent me their data in an excel for take home assignment. At least send me a csv! I never bothered to fi

I have such relationship with mathematics. I really like it and until certain point I was good at it. Then at the university I really struggled with all the abstraction. I did finish my degree in mathematics but with barely passable grades.

Yeah I have told recruiters no way I am moving to places like Munich unless I am getting a big jump at least 15-20% over my current salary. Housing is such an expensive mess in big German cities.

This! These American companies open their offices in order to cut costs. They aren't going to pay the same US salaries except outside of big tech.

You can compare cost of living on numbeo. We are talking about tech workers here. Most of the tech employers offer quite generous benefit in USA including healthcare, generous parental leaves and vacations. Also 401K is so common among tech

I always struggle with this. Even though I understand IO-bound and CPU-bound tasks, it's not always one or the other when you build an application. For example, I have to train a machine learning model where I need to query a database

I mean it's just cost arbitrage for all of these Americans. Soon enough, it's already happening, they will be out-pricing each other. They are willing to pay rents which would be average monthly salary in Lisbon. The annoying aspe

Yeah I feel like I am suffering with this with my teammates. How passive aggressive it would be if I shared this with my colleagues at work?

100K isn't a common salary for entry or mid level but as senior engineers or mangers you can definitely make it. I'm working in Germany. With my bonus I touch just about 100K. I have 10 years of experience though. Although when re
