Interview Opportunity in MapBox SDE2 Tokyo.

This is just a prediction based on what I've been observing recently. Founder is publishing a lot of self ego boosting articles and aggressively hiring currently. This has been going on for quite some time and they recently did some layoffs too! These are some of the early signs when things start to go wrong. Not sure about their numbers. And even though Indians really love gold it's not an investment. It's a hedge. Let's see what happens in the next 12 months.

Rumor mill is fired up since a week and all meetings with senior leadership this week have been removed from calendars without any notice! Also noticed that several leaders are WFH today. Guessing that is to avoid nervous conversations and to engage in private meetings over phone calls to decide which heads they are going to chop off. The 🔔are going off! Prepare yourselves!

Entertaining an opportunity from eloelo. They have a barebones webpage and its not that great. Seems like all their numbers are inflated. I would like to know how the workplace is. Looked at some reviews online and they hint at toxic work culture. Looking for a outsider opinion on the org as well as the market segment.

I've always wanted to work in Korea. Are there any first hand experiences of people who have come back from Korea? How is it as a place to work? Where did you live? What's the culture like?

I have received two offers, one from Nykaa (SDE-2 full-stack) and the other from MMT (SDE-2 frontend). Both are for the Banglore location. Which one should I choose considering better work culture and work-life balance? Any help will be appreciated.

Community from TechM Please throw some light on how to prepare for interview for such role! Apart from the above if anyone is aware about the selection process for such roles that would be great!

I am currently an SDE3 working in Japan, in the past 6 months I have moved from SDE1 to 3. I am planning on moving back to India in the next year, can someone list their job roles as an SDE2 or SDE3. I personally think that there is a big gap of skills between the engineers working in these 2 countries (Indian engineers are better in terms of skills whereas Japanese are really organised). So I want to know where I lack so that I can prepare accordingly.

Received an inbound request for Principal PM role with PayPay in Tokyo. Has anyone here in India interviewed with PayPay for any roles. Have generally heard Japanese to be very hardworking. They mention you don't need English for your day to day job, but for life outside work English will be of limited use. Also racism is another fear in these Other Asian economies They haven't shared the potential compensation ranges yet . Couldn't find much online too.
