They could have, but I can promise you that if they have Tableau visualizations _at all_ at this point, they're shit. Letting something "die on the vine" is the only way to describe Salesforce's Tableau acquisition.
I think we're entering a new generation of controlled machines. Aerial drones, in particular, have found a staggering number of commercial and industrial uses, and many of them are operating under constraints that…
I came into Google as Senior with about six years experience at another large tech company (where I'd also made senior recently). Senior (one level below Staff) is deemed "career level," and if you just want to build…
There's a difference between the numerical levels and the job titles.
I have approximately 9 years of industry experience, following a BS and MS.
Not going to talk about my specific skills (throwaway account). The algorithms stuff is useful. More useful than it seems. It comes up often in many engineering jobs. Perhaps more importantly at your stage in life, it…
It (staff) is a level, one past senior engineer. The difference is that senior engineers do something resembling engineering. When not attending meetings, I turn coffee into emails and Google docs.
Staff SWE, Google Seattle. Total 2018 comp will be around 550k with a roughly 55/45 equity/cash split if GOOG shares remain constant. Historically they have typically gone up meaningfully over the course of any given…
Yet FAMG are always hiring. This suggests an interesting asymmetry that could make a lot of people very wealthy. Either they don't want it, they aren't skilled enough for it, they've found another way to achieve it,…
My argument isn't that it didn't take equity to get there, but that it's not intractable through "ordinary work". The big tech companies are essentially always hiring, and they're not the only ones offering marketable…
My work at Amazon was building services with Java and Spring Framework. I got that job based solely on general "algorithms and code on a white board" skills. My resume at the time was a scatter shot of some past Java…
As a software engineer, a moderate amount of luck (passing the bar at Google, Microsoft, Facebook, etc.) combined with an aggressive stance toward your comp can absolutely take you from the $100k to $500k+ range. You…
