Challenging work with long hours and handsome compensation
Challenging work with long hours and handsome compensation
- There are very few places in the industry that work at this scale, with complex distributed systems everywhere.
- You get exposure to complex, challenging, and unique technical problems.
- You can work with some of the most brilliant and motivated people in the IT industry.
- Highly demanding from a work perspective, which may translate to long work hours, especially for new joiners, leading to a bad work-life balance.
- You are essentially working for business and money. This may be starting to change now with the new vision of Meta Superintelligence Labs, though I am not sure yet.
Any effort towards managing work-life balance within the team is a right step towards improving team health.
