I want to do this but somehow it feels that leaving is never amicable unless you bend over backwards to please the employer (ex: delay last date).

You're right. Meghan appears to have been treated worse than PC. My understanding is that there is an overall negative image of PC, but he does not constant coverage, so that helps his case I guess.

Deserved or not, the coverage he gets has been a balancing act to all the generally sympathetic coverage that Diana gets.

unsolicited advice- please pertain work to a desk/ one place of the house, and not spread it to the entire house. This can help restrict resentment to that one spot and not your entire place.

I think while Robinhood has benefited more users by giving them a cheaper way to access stock markets, users still feel betrayed, everytime such news gets out, especially after GME. This perhaps could have been averted easily if Robinhood clarified their mechanism. But in reality, their modus operandi has been to work with the big hedge funds and brokers.

I have not attended any bootcamps myself but r/datascience and other similar forums seem to indicate that bootcamps are useless. Especially with your PhD, I think an overview course like the one offered by Andrew Ng will get you upto speed. You can add others like AWS certification, Tableau etc.. based on your needs/jobs you're applying to.

finally someone said it out loud. It is so hard to even get a call if you do not go through a referral. Hard to say it is a google problem as the pool they can access is one of the biggest in the world.

Very interesting analogy but not a good equivalence IMO. Soil and rotation are pretty standard in that the best permutations are already known, unless you want to experiment something new. Websites do not have such known standards- a crappy looking amazon website works better than most UI experts would suggest.

To me, Google seems like a company completely run by engineers, and perhaps these techies in their silos compete so much, that they do want to "integrate" their stuff with broader teams. Like say, Waze team does not want it's features integrated into GMaps. How else is there so little order? A complete opposite of Apple it seems.

Uber and AirBnB are just legal companies? Never saw it that way, but that said, would those labels not easily apply to FANG as well? Half of the effort is spent on fighting lawsuits that take aim on their market positions.
