Not a lot of equity in the comp packages this time around (real equity anyway, plenty of funny money from startups). I accepted a salary of $200k, 20% annual cash bonus, small signing bonus. My overall comp is lower, but my cash is a touch higher and the stress is a lot less.
My background is Linux, k8s, golang, and python. I also write C/C++ occasionally. Don't really ever touch front end work or databases anymore. I don't have FAANG experience, but I have contributed to some large open source projects here and there. No degree.
Walking treadmill for my desk. Usually sit all day and would then try to get in some movement in the evening. I now walk around 7k steps during meetings and other non-focus periods of my work. Also great when playing some games in the evening.
Setup Homeassistant paired with smart wall plugs which measure usage and turn off on a timer at night. Reduced our electricity usage by ~20%.
Good pillow and mattress. Makes a worlds difference from the previous IKEA stuff. Even though Im on the heaver side I can sleep really well on the new one.
