Glassdoor has great wlb

Netflix, Google, and startups by folks associated with those places come to mind. Netflix is famous for amazing base pay, 40 hour weeks, but being expected to be "on" all the time in those 40 hours. Google is famous for some rest and vest, while being able to be negotiated with for top of market money (but will low-ball you at first). The tradeoff at Google is often limited scope in your role and very slow upward mobility. Startups are a tossup company to company, of course.

Also old guard tech giants -if- we're talking about a strategic growth team. Oracle comes to mind with top of market pay in their cloud products. Bet you could get some good numbers out of IBM too if you negotiate with multiple offers. What you do once you're in companies like this is limited by your ambition, but don't expect raises handed out.

I'd be wrong not to mention Microsoft, but don't know enough about their offers or org cultures other than that they vary all over.

Adobe?

Heard it's slower and pretty lackluster, but nothing bad as pay and wlb goes. Great publications by their ML research folks too, for whatever that's worth to you

Serious question - is there a reverse FIRE strategy? I like the idea of saving and retiring early, but the one hiccup I see (and sorry if this is grim) is if you die earlier than expected.

This way you guaranteed your dreams/etc. are fulfilled

Hi Team,

TCS has released the offer letter for me & my doj is on 30th Jan which I chose. My current employer is ready to release me early and my lwd is 30th November.

I am confused whether I should join on 30th Jan or I should talk to HR for early joining. Also, there are rumours that Indian MNCs are cancelling offer letters due to recession and hence I am scared as I don't have any other offer in hand

What's the truth 🤔
