Google and Amazon keep sending me emails, so I guess not so much slowing! GCP site of the house for the latest role, Engineer, SRE type.
Right now probably isn't a great time to negotiate an impressive comp package with Big-G, Facebook, Oracle, SAP, or Netflix.
Comp bands themselves aren't changing, only the numbers of hires are being reduced. If you are good enough to get and pass the interview loop at FAANG during a recession, the company really wants you - so you can probably negotiate the maximum comp package - which is doubly beneficial as stock prices are low right now.
Source: I and some of my friends have recently received offers from FAANG
- software engineers, who create, initially maintain, and develop long term maintenance plans for software
- site reliability engineers, who keep existing products healthy, deal with unexpected complications in realtime, and continuously engineer improvements on how to do their jobs so they can carry more and more active software per SRE.
Are we talking about the same Google?
... it has to be, because at their size, outages are catastrophic for people.
But no, it's site reliability engineering.
