there is no Silicon valley's horizontal or inclusive culture here
haven't seen any company so indifferent and not having enough resource to try Machine Learning, Reinforcement Learning, or LLM.
Events, learning sessions from professors and leading industry experts, women in Samsung, staff in cafeteria keep us here. Compensation without stock is not competitive.
Leaders do not want us working from home and explicitly discouraging working from home not because of business needs but personal preference on work style.
As there is no stock and my alumni in the area is getting total compensation 1.5 times of mine.. If you do not want to give us stock, then you should give cash bonus. It is not competitive for SSI to cut bonus on top of fact they do not give stocks.
