Is this really true? Been hearing the opposite, that everyone and anyone is using LC for interviewing now

So many more companies prefer hiring you all remote now, at the cost of local US remote workers Happy for you all but again it’s come at the cost of local US remote workers… the chickens have come home to roost of the WFH movement

You must live outside the US. In the US If you’re only looking at expenses many full time jobs can get there in 3-6mos too. And not even big tech Sure it’s nice to have the choice to not work between engagements but again you’ll be back to

Is work life balance really better when you have to worry bout finding your next gig and also that everything’s on you (don’t have a team/others to fall back on)?

I think it’s more that it’s much harder to build flexible high dexterity robots than it is to build pure software “intelligence”, that’s all.

Have you looked at the sw Eng hiring landscape recently? One reason stocks are doing so well is cause of the cost cutting, layoffs, and hiring and promo freezes. Stock prices have nothing to do with the employment landscape

You and your son are literally on opposite ends of the current economy. Tech is in possibly the worst recession since dotcom, while in-person services and retail pay is booming So the pay situation you describe isn’t surprising at all

Remember: Good pay and stability comes not from how good you are, but by how profitable your employer is and how much they can leverage your output into profitability That’s why rank and file at faang can pull down 300k+ TC

Do you think it’s gonna get better or is this the new norm? I can’t help shake the feeling it’s the latter - rates might be higher for longer and tons of companies have jumped on the south-america/eastern-eu hiring bandwagon

Whatever it was, they really screwed it up for all of us. Parenting is so much harder than it needs to be and children are so much less balanced as a result. They share a big blame for the birth rate decline.

It’s tricky. I used to have a passion which was a small bootstrapped side business, then due to life circumstances I had to give up on that. I found that getting more invested in my 9-5 and my coworkers made it easier to get through the day

Unfortunately you have to project substantial economic value to live a life of dignity (esp with a family) and so there’s no getting away from it with the current state of affairs You can’t just “live a nourishing life”, you have to do both

If you’re at a FAANG, the point is to stash and save as much as possible as quickly as possible so you can escape being a slave

Dude, look out your window, most jobs/“careers” are like this and people just endure cause they have to

Do you see kids biking or running around on their own in the US now? No? We’ll then, there’s your answer

Adding more details: YES, it is all-consuming. It was for me and probably for most. Obviously there are factors like grandparents help available etc, but unless you have a full time live-in maid like they have in Asia (au pairs don’t count

Tbf if you’re going to be quitting your 9-5 I don’t think it’s an issue. But no, I have not seen any _American_ examples of being a good dad + 9-5 + being a successful founder
