I know there are many unfortunate layoffs going on in tech and other industries. And I deeply feel for those effected. But I just wanted to ask if recruiters or hiring managers remember that there are people who graduated during the height of the pandemic in summer of 2020 and their summer internships and job offers were rescinded due to the pandemic. Many of us still have not been able to recuperate from that. Much like the graduates of 2008 when the market crashed.

How do you guys make friends in a new town?

My friend just got out of a relationship and hooked up with his ex's best friend a week later. They're now dating and seeing each other everyday.
I couldn't help but feel like this wasn't an appropriate thing to do for both parties. He also revealed that he cheated on his past exes.

I'm naturally feeling a bit weary of his character and questioning whether this is a friend I want to keep close in my life. Perhaps I'm being too judgmental?

Got a verbal confirmation for an offer from recruiter. Now she is negotiating my pay with the compensation team instead of me. I thought I had to do the negotiations with that team? This is for a L3 role at google canada. To the fellow googlers, is this normal practice or am I being lowballed here?

Hi all, Can you guys do me a favor I need 11 likes to start my DM

Hi any reviews on Aptos retail?

Nice bowl to avoid lowering the average in the US-centric threads. Anybody else finding that with the lack of pay rises this year, it’s become even harder to benchmark? Had a few recruiters recently suggesting I’d get 25% more by moving to a competitor but no telling whether that’s a short term-gain for a longer term hit.
