don’t like products with “sheet” in their name cuz they usually are sheet

For me Excel is the best choice, it has way more advanced features and works best for me and my purposes. That being said, I don’t think Sheets is horrible, but definitely depends on what you what to accomplish, some light data work it’s fine, but only to a point.

Imo, Google Sheets is less intuitive, nifty features and processes nonetheless, but I grew up using Excel, so it feels more efficient to use

Excel has way more advanced features for data analysis and data visualization. Sheets is fine for light data work, especially if you need to collab

It really depends on the purpose of the spreadsheet you are building. Google Sheet is good for collaboration, but not so good for advanced setups. I use one or the other depending on the need. Someone started building a Google Sheet for something and then I migrated it to MS-Excel and vice versa.

“Job hopper” and “quiet quitting” are all schemes made up by boomers to make you think everything is the employees fault. When in reality people are just getting out of bad situations. Older companies do whatever they can to pay you the least amount and get the max work out of you. Except our generation will just leave amid we’re being mistreated, not complain for 35 years making 50k and 0 advancement.

AWS vs Cloudflare BDR roles

AWS lowballed but I negotiated to match Cloudflare. Cloudflare offers more equity but AWS has a higher base.

I love Cloudflare. The people are great but it’s an engineering culture and the sales team isn’t as well shaped up and I can’t go for a promotion until at least 18 months of tenure. I am an investor in the company and think of them super highly. I’ve already got half a years SDR experience and AWS promotes quicker.

AWS has prestige but is it worth it?
