Having no track even better. Some people like what they are doing and the field is constantly changing. You want your best surgeons doing operations not managing other doctors.
You need some kind of title so people can feel responsible for career growth and so you can calibrate against other companies' pay at least; it doesn't need to control what kind of work you're allowed to do.
Even if they don't transition to managing people, someone in an individual contributor role presumably needs to be growing in some way if they want to get raises. While someone doing something valuable even without growing will probably continue to get small raises anyway, it's not the ideal path.
And, as you say, to the degree that position titles mean something cross-company, it gives a point of comparison.
Just because you share more things in common with those you hate doesn't mean the recommendation is broken.
If a large percentage of people who watch gun blowing up videos also are interested in the videos you mention than why wouldn't they show it (I assume if it were breaking guidelines it would be removed)
The recommendation should be based on what a large fraction of my time is spent on (average over the timeline of my history), rather than a large of fraction of people who watch the last watched video is based on. Why does one video entirely screw up my historical record? I can't remember being recommended one 3Blue1Brown video in the last year, despite being subscribed to him. It's bizarre.
Mainstream media started killed credibility in the 80s and what we see is the result of a media that thinks it speaks for all but represents only half at best.
You give up the walk in bigger cities unless you pay top dollar for a downtown condo so you end up on transit (bus/subway), bike or even uber commuting
It’s a function of the relative amounts of housing and jobs in the inner city. People talk about building more houses as the solution to high prices, however escalating demand and long commutes are driven by increasing office space.
It wasn't fair to others for you to stick it out because your heart wasn't in it so you wasted everyone's time training you for a few months only to quit when you are finally half productive.
The real reason you left is the commute and office decor. Moving from a 15 walk to an hour trainride is a big change. Moving to an environment where people care more about product than impressing people is a huge culture shift.
In the end covid would have forced everyone wfh anyhow.
"I figured it wasn’t really fair to my colleagues at Nuro to stick in a job that my heart wasn’t in."
So, in the end, I decided that option 2 was the best fit for me. I continued at Nuro and did my best to get up-to-speed and to contribute to my team’s work, but at the same time jumped right back into the job market"
