Hi guys. Has anyone attended the @Autodesk frontend interview? How was your experience?

My wife is around 3 months pregnant. Doctor has recommended Irospan. And my insurance says they don’t cover it. And it is coming aroun 695$ without insurance, I found good Rx coupon which comes around 200$. Does anyone have better suggestions to check for coupons? And is iron deficiency common during pregnancy? Any valuable suggestions are welcome. Thanks

Here is my idea for a startup! I collect all the data from career transitions and use Data Analytics to predict the most likely career transitions. I could start with consulting. What do you guys think about this? I would be able to predict based on your firm(mbb, big4), your experience, which role you are likely to move (Faang pm, strategy manager, move to mbb). I have all the data to do this, but wanted your thoughts. Would the output of this be relevant to you?

What books would you recommend for someone wanting to get better at sales?

I finished final rounds 2 weeks ago and haven’t heard back. I followed up with the hiring manager and he said he hopes to give me an update within a week. Does this mean I’m rejected or they’re still interviewing other candidates?

Is it common to negotiate software engineer salary at smaller companies? I know it’s common at FAANG, but what about for companies with around 200 engineers? I have a counter offer from my current company and on-site interviews scheduled for end of July with google and Amazon, but I’d prefer to go with the smaller local company if I can negotiate the salary (from offer letter) up another 5% or so.

Good morning! I have a nephew who’s interested in coding (video games, apps, etc.) and I wanted to know if there’s any virtual programs, bootcamps, courses he can do (maybe some that can give him college credits). He’s 14 and just started high school in Atlanta, Georgia! If anybody knows anything please let me know!

What are the benefits they provide if we have to work from office at Bangalore.

Was told I am a low performer today and need to improve or I am terminated. I have roughly 3 months to find a new job right?

How do you guys make friends in a new town?

Male 🐠, if you and a girl had a “situationship” but obviously had feelings for each other and it had to end for one reason or another, how often do you still think about the girl? Would she be on your mind as you try to move on?

How was you memorial day weekend?

Whoever said bumble bbfs was great couldn’t have been more right. It’s weird I’ve l been confident in how I look in the last few years but my personality and likability was put into question but instantly I seem to be receiving the friendship attention I like, 50+ likes by 4am on the first day, signed up at 2am. It’s kind of nice to make brand new friends without having a connection or a class together. Old friends and friends or friends sometimes benchmark you and don’t view the new you

My friend’s ex is trying to win her back and she hates being single and like I ~should~ discourage this, but on a selfish level I want to be able to go out on his boat again this summer. He’s not a particularly horrible guy, but they’re a bad match when it comes to values/goals, which is why it didn’t work out the last time.

Would you quit your job if you suddenly were given 10 million dollars? Why or why not? What would you pursue instead?

Sometimes when I make a mistake at work I feel like I am not good enough for the job while other times I take it as “let’s do better next time.” Would love to find a balance between the two feelings.

Any single women like houses?

The only things I wish were different in Avengers End Game were
1. For Black Widow to get a better send off (rocket literally ruins the emotional movement by startling Tony within minutes of Scarlett's death, which I felt was kind of disrespectful.)
2. For Hulk to get a re-fight with Thanos one on one or even along with the other 3 OGs.

hearing people do ASMR voices pisses me off.

I just tried to change my flight home from Madrid a few hours earlier and delta really said that will be 2.5K 🫢😵‍💫🥹

Yesterday I made a blanket fort with my husband and we watched a movie and ate ice cream. Yes, it was awesome.

Re men profiles with fish pics : I think I’d be impressed more with the next step if you aren’t releasing it back into water. Show me how you cook and then serve it. How many people are you feeding with that fish? These are the stuff that I’d like to see 🤣

I was giving my kid the advice that the path you sometimes believe you are on is not necessarily where you will land, in a good way, and to stay open to those paths.

Help me make my point.

What did you THINK you were going to do when you started college, and what do you do today?

Hi 👋. I posted here a few weeks ago about being nervous conducting a PIP conversation with my team member.
I did it this week and let me just say it was the weirdest conversation ever. The guy is usually argumentative and tries to disprove every bit of feedback. But this time he just sat there and asked no questions and said nothing.
Maybe he’s looking for new jobs already - don’t mind this at all and this would be a good outcome for him overall.

I set up my boss to take on a client that I planned to steal from her. She thought she was using me but I was using her. When she asked me to prepare statements of work, I drafted it with my resume in mind. When she asked me to set pricing, I priced it at my desired salary. When she pawned the work off to me, I nonchalantly took point. Then slowly and surely, I made myself indispensable to the client. I can’t wait to tell her that the foundation’s offer is priced above her salary. Checkmate.

Why do companies even hire people to let them go "due to economic reasons" just after a week? Like the economy was all good last week and suddenly took a dump over the weekend? Seriously, when do they even learn to treat candidates like humans with families?

What’s the minimum amount of money you’ll accept to cut off the tip of your left pinky finger? What about toe 😂? Was talking to some colleagues and they were willing to cut off an entire arm/leg for $250k. I was horrified lol

Played hooky for 4 days (caregiving), came back today and haven't done anything other than listening in 3 meetings, but still getting paid for all 40hrs this week 🙏🙏

So thankful right now for WFH and joining a company with paid time off for the first time

Wearing her panties rn I miss her so much
