The mental gymnastics of OE can be exhausting & humbling at times with juggling multiple schedules, attending meetings, and completing your duties within a reasonable amount of time.

Don't get me wrong, the income is worth it, especially if there are bonuses. You also have the opportunities to negotiate your pay, pick your location, and build skills.

What other advantages/disadvantages exist with OE?

The biggest problems I have is having deadlines that hit very close together, or even simultaneously. I'm usually able to get out in front and get things done ahead of time, but there are occasional unavoidable crunch periods which can get grueling. What's fortunate is that I'm not on a tight leash day to day, so I can prioritize the work of some employers over others and get away with it. But it's still maddening at times.

Get some!! Sounds like you are able to prioritize and get the job done!

Outside of FAANG, what are good large CA-based tech companies that provide good pay, WLB, and culture? DD has great people and WLB, but pay is low and you’re not given the tools and resources to succeed + truly make an impact. Google and Apple are ideal but need backups. Like is Salesforce still good? A company along those lines.
