Better WLB at NVIDIA

Idk anything about Nvidia other than their stock is on the rise but I would venture that they’re culture is better than AMZN for obvious reasons.

I prefer Seattle over San Jose. Culture wise I am not sure how Nvidia stacks up. I have heard nasty things about Amazon.

$220K TC will go farther in Seattle... no income tax and lower COL. What’s the base/equity split?

Honestly the other consideration is the weather... do you mind the clouds and rain? I’m not from seattle and even though I enjoy the mild winter temps compared to what I grew up in, the cloudiness does get to you in the winter

Nvidia. Better culture and WLB means you're more likely to be around to benefit from stock vesting. Amazon has theirs back-weighted for a reason! If you find COL too high, you can take that PM experience and get a higher level role in Seattle or elsewhere in a few years.

Hi everybody! 😊
I've been working as a Junior Analog Design Engineer for a year and half.
I received a proposal for a Senior Analog Designer role from Bosch in the same city where I am currently working.
Should I wait and build up a few more years of experience before accepting a Senior role or should I jump in and work to fill the gap?
Next year, there will be an important deadline for the project I'm working on and my resignation could be critical for the team, how would you deal with it?

Waiting on raise/bonus info but can’t help but wonder if I could be making $100k more at a larger firm and working similar hours. I put a premium on the people I work with and have gotten a good rhythm here as well as built up a good rep so far. For reference I have billed avg. 180-200 hrs a month. Any insights?

Hey,

I interviewed for a practice manager position. This was an interview with the director. This went well. She now wants me to meet with the staff and doctors in person for a second round.

Anyone that’s ever done this, can you let me know what to expect? The types of questions to ask the doctors. How I should be interacting with the staff as their prospective manager?

Background check question. Had a grad school project on my resume with a company. Project was 8 months work with company and 3 months of prep training. This was considered a volunteer role and I have no W2s or anything associated.

On my BGC I listed the 11 months listed above. My previous resume listed this under my education, so I never had exact dates. Grad school was several years back.

Q1 is this kosher to list 11 months?
Q2 anything I should do to clarify?
Q3 does MBB care about vol?

I was a regular PM managing my own vertical and now have the opportunity for a new role in the org. No promo or cash related, just jurisdiction wise.

I'd be focusing on:
For old product-

-automation
For new product-
-Building out from scratch
-UI/UX related user feedback
-sales and marketing focus
-use cases and features

Is this a good move career wise? Love being a PM and looking to grow.

Hey everyone, looking for some advice. I’ve been working as a RC for a tech company for 15 months making 45k (I know I’m underpaid) and I’m looking to pivot.
