TC or GTFO. (Am I doing that right?)

Currently at 1.8m ish total comp:

  - 1.2m cash
  - 300k RSUs (probably worthless or I leave before 4 year vesting cliff)
  - 200k equity (only one job is at a publicly traded company)
  - <150k cash bonus

More power to you, man. I find 0..1 of these startups provides enough daily aggravation. (Though that could argue for throwing a pile together and ending it quickly.)

[froaway4job]

I also dislike working at these places. This is something I'll be doing for a few years and then leaving corporate life with a big pile.

jeez, where are you getting jobs where you can work like 2-3 hrs a day and get paid 250k + ? Are u a leetcode god or a 10x programmer?

[froaway4job]

Senior to Staff positions at medium to large private or mid cap public companies expect little from their engineers :).

Definitely not 10x and I suck at leetcode style problems. I'm probably a 2xer who acts like a 1xer. That's the real secret. Don't overachieve.

You are actually the living proof there is a 5x to 10x difference between some programmers. Since you have 4.5 jobs.

Thanks for coming forward.

[froaway4job]

I guess technically the math works out that way :)

In my opinion I'm seriously mediocre as an engineer. Slightly above average at best. I'm just good at managing my time, which is more of a business/personal skill than any engineering skill.

[strikelaserclaw]

sometimes i won't feel like starting a task for like 3 hrs into my workday, you must be a god at sticking to a schedule.

Series D companies above 1B valuation?

How did you make it to senior staff without leetcode? How many years YOE to get there?

[froaway4job]

I did a lot of leetcode when I first started. Nowadays, and especially in this market, it's not hard to find companies not doing any leetcode style interviews. If you have a decent GitHub profile and years of experience you can outright say in interviews that you won't be doing any leetcode style problems. It's an engineers market, take advantage of it!

[winterplace]

How many years in a number?

Which kind of companies are you talking about? Lifestyle business or seed stage or Series A / B / C / D / E?

Nobody really looks at GitHub though. A/b tested it and only very few looked.

Do you have an email interested individuals can contact you on?

[froaway4job]

For my own sake I'm probably going to be completely anon, but you should check out the following site for a community of overemployed folks:

Could you make a protonmail address?

It is good to have a circle of non-public capable people.

Will be good if you can be contacted.
