General formula that majority of big tech MAG7 companies apply when it comes to India is "3 times HC than Bay area". If you see pay data for these companies, that seems to be correct with salaries in Bangalore to be 1/3 of salaries in Bay area.

Please come up with reverse searches and forward searches in terminal and I swear I will change my primary OS to Windows.
what's up with microsoft? out of all the big tech companies in that chart (https://www.levels.fyi/charts.html), their employees look most underpaid; yet they are doing amazing. How can they get away with not paying their engineers on par with competition?
Can you use sourcetrail on properitery codebases as well? I see it's GPL and according to my understanding, it's okay to use it on properitery software as long as you don't make any modifications to the sourcetrail software itself.

There are some teams that only work on high impact projects. If you feel that your current team is only doing work that's not valuable, you need to change teams or at least let your manager know to change your project. Ask for projects that you think will bring revenue to the company. Revenue = impact or increase in productivity of other engineers (this may involve writing an internal tool, etc.)
Must have been really hard to work at Facebook. I often see people shouting at Facebook and tagging their employees on twitter left and right shaming them publicly of their employer's actions. But how do you leave that $$$ on the table.
Is there anything similar for windows platform? I would love to pay to get in depth technical articles but with keeping Windows as platform in mind.
This looks super interesting. I got hooked reading stories for an hour on this website.
