Hey All,

I am about to join Google, and received an email to select laptop. Confused between 16inch or 13inch Mac. Does Google use the new M1chip Mac? Any input would be helpful.

Will the chip really decide which laptop you will be choosing? Is that going to impact your productivity/ability to perform certain key activities? Genuinely curious.

The chip is a huge factor. The performance difference between the MBP Intel 16 and the MBP M1 14 is insane. Additionally the former turns on the fan at full blast when an external monitor is connected and gets really hot while the latter doesn’t.

I chose the 16inch for ease of use

Which laptops would you guys recommend?

As a Noogler, you can also swap out your device within 30 days if you think you made the wrong choice

Went with the 16” but it’s pretty bulky so something to keep in mind if you’re going to be traveling a bit. Not a dealbreaker, but just thought to mention.

Bulky but the larger screen is so much better to travel with if you work on planes etc

This may not be helpful, but I am so flipping happy for you. Congrats

16 inches- the wider screen has been super helpful

I received a job offer for a PM position with a base of $125K and a 10% bonus, fully remote and ok benefits. The parental leave is pretty bad, just FMLA and STD/LTD so the most I’d get is 60% of my salary for 12 weeks. I’ve cancelled most of my interviews except for one where the pay is $135K, 20% bonus, hybrid schedule, good benefits and 16 weeks fully paid parental leave. I’d like to start my family in a year or two - is it better to take the remote gig or the hybrid role with full paid leave?

In my early 30s, single and realizing i barely have friends. Technically i have a bunch of friends all over the country (thanks to me moving around quite a bit) but not where I live so i don't see them as often. I shed a few so called friends post-pandemic who were flakey, some got married and spend most of their time with their families. I have like 2 people to invite for my birthday. Is that natural for 30s to have little friends or do i need to re-evaluate my life?

Definitely took the wrong job. I was offered a seriously competitive salary and great benefits to work at a well funded startup, which is great! Turns out the salary and benefits were meant as lowkey bribes to insure I worked at the company without actually doing any work. Every single suggestion I've made has been shut down and I've been ghosted for several meetings with the CEO. What should I do? Just leave?
