This is going to be a game-changer for Sandbox VR.

I agree. Some are blessed with great connections. Others are not so lucky. This platform just provides more opportunities for those who seek it.

I'd like to know how hard it is for other people starting out these days, what's worked for them. I'm not one to ask as I get hounded by Google/Alphabet recruiters every 3-6 months to co-design a role in entry-management/team-lead (SRM) or SWE/SA-SRE.

I'd suggest focusing on one of Go, Rust, Haskell, Elm or Elixir in addition to the customary C++17 or Java/Kotlin... and get some useful packages up on open repos.

They call themselves the darkest part of the internet

So what makes them think that they are superior to others and it tips them in conducting mass shootings?

.. not to mention that most mass shooters don't have children and end up shot during the situation..

It is not individual Darwinism but social Darwinism. They think they are part of a superior race, and so it does not matter as much what happens to them individually.

Compensation is easily measurable and comparable than something like 'happiness' and wellness. I'm definitely not on the company's side for neglecting company happiness, but it so so subjective and it's probably easier for them to set this standard and have people find happiness and balance in their lives.

You can start with true working hours per week. Simple honest rules - checking email at home counts, being paged counts double (because I can happen anytime, so you need to be alert), eating lunch does not. Transit time counts. Divide by 5 - that's your average daily load due to work. You get more than 9 - that's too much, I hope your compensation is superb (i.e. well above average).

At FAANG, the number is most definitely less than 9. Combine this with the freakishly high compensation, and this looks like the best deal one could predicably get on Earth.

I kind of think it is a great deal. Perhaps not the greatest, but a great one.

I use outline dot com to get around paywall :)

Works for The Economist but doesn't work for WSJ these days unfortunately. Anyone got a work around for WSJ?

Put the WSJ link into any URL shortener, then put that link into outline.
