I have a San Francisco company who IPOd in 2020 offer me a job last week as a “Developer Advocate”. But this hiring process is so damn weird…! And now idk if I want the job?? It’s also a job title I don’t really want— I’d prefer to be an “iOS developer”, “machine learning engineer”, or “software developer/engineer”

I accepted the job cause I am SO poor right now. Now they’re saying they want to send me $8k of computer equipment…. But they haven’t confirmed my boss or my pay yet!!?

What didn't you like about it? It seems like a fun job, and something I've looked into myself. From what I know about it, you basically whip up fun projects using the company's technology and also go to tech talks and other places, being the public face of the company and advocating for its technologies. It's all the fun parts of being a dev + being more social, and likely without long-term deliverables & headaches or the like.

It seems like a social media manager and not a developer position. Exit opportunities seen very slim

They did confirm my pay, tho lol.

I’m just an idiot and didn’t read all the fine print in the emails.

I feel like every company lies about “working your way up.” You’re never allowed to blatantly say that you don’t like your position and you’d like to transition to HR or Finance. It’s almost as if once you get in claims, you’re stuck.

If you’re a manager and you see an employee that wants to branch out into a different department, why would you keep them boxed in for 2+ years?

Are there some background mechanics that I’m missing?

WFH Vs WF Office Vs Hybrid, Which one should you take?
If you are fresher, go for a WF Office setup. You will learn things beyond your work. In the initial phase of of your career, one needs to focus more on learning than on comfort. The interactions at office, meeting with collegues, conversations at the cafeteria, sense of responsibilty, the need to walk up on time to reach office etc will shape you for better.

Once you have a work experience of few year then any setup is fine. Go for WFH.
