Thinking about switching jobs?
Moving to a better opportunity is exciting, but most engineers make costly mistakes that hurt their career growth.
Top 3 Mistakes Engineers Make:
1. Jumping at the first offer
FAANG and top tech companies expect you to negotiate. The first offer is rarely their best, and failing to push back could mean leaving $30K+ on the table in salary and equity.
2. Not researching company culture
Some jobs look great on paper, but the day-to-day experience can be a nightmare. Before accepting, talk to current employees and check review sites like Blind or Levels.fyi.
3. Burning bridges at your current company
Even if you're leaving, maintaining professional relationships is crucial. You never know when a past connection will open doors for future job opportunities.
