One of many: Friday early afternoon following epic week at St. Charles (so hangover at a 10). ORD-LGA continuously delayed due to snow. Finally got on a flight that left but was then diverted to Baltimore and landed 2:30am. No trains/hotels. Work friend and I got a rental car and drove back to NYC in the storm. I think we almost killed each other several times on the Jersey turnpike, literally and figuratively.

Flying out of Rochester NY back to Atlanta. Terrible storms in Atlanta that lead to canceled flights across the board. I was supposed to fly out on Wednesday, and the next available flight wasn’t until Sunday. Decided to drive the 15 hours home instead.

Afternoon 5:30 pm flight from LGA to DFW delayed by 1 hour, than 2 hours, than 30 mins and finally cancelled. By that time all other flights have departed from JFK and EWR. Had to take a 10:30 pm from LGA to O’Hare, slept at the airport overnight and took the 5:15 AM flight to DFW

~17 hours, 3 hour delays at a time...
I befriended the bartender, slept, shit-posted on twitter, etc

I’ve been cancelled on / delayed 8+ hours at DFW. 3 hours is nothint

Last day of a Y2K project in Rochester, NY.
Eight feet of snow fall in 24 hours. Stuck for over two days, eventually dug out a car and drove to Toronto to get flight out.
It was truly a freak snow storm - largest 1 day snowfall since 1903 and the same storm did not even affect Buffalo or Syracuse.
I'm from south Georgia and had never seen 8 inches of snow much less 8 feet.

Is it misleading to just look at Total Compensation from a $ dollar value/ Total Compensation seems to be much more subjective than base salary in terms of its value. Some factors might be:

RSUs granted on dollar value or by # of shares & stock price trends
Vesting schedule
strike price on ISOs & delta between strike price and real market value

For instance, most of value in Amazon's comp seems to be granted in years 3 & 4, but it's well known that most people last only 2 years max there.

Hi there!
I completed the last round of an interview (presentation) last week. Originally they said they would be calling my references & then make an offer accordingly.
Today they updated that they'd like me to travel to their HQ (based in Nordics & I'm in London) for the final round where I'd meet the CEO, the hiring manager and a couple of people in the team.
I don't think I'm the only one in the process - even though initially the last round was the presentation.
What are your thoughts?

I currently hold a bachelor in accounting and I am looking into transition to the Cybersecurity world. I have an interest in working with the banks doing penetration testing.

I got an offer at Meta as a 3-mo contingent CSM that pays 2x what I make now.

Two pros: 1) Making the jump from a non-tech agency role to FAANG can be tough, so this is a great oppo in that aspect.
2) I'm living in SF on a non-tech salary, so the pay increase would be incredible.

It’s possible I could move into a similar role @ Meta once this expires, but to be safe, I'd need to start the job hunt again asap.

Thoughts on the pivot & how valuable a short-stint at Meta is for future job hunt?
