One helpful tip per day:)

After working at Google for nine years, Justyna Ilczuk decided to leave. What was she thinking?

  1. Her first internship was at Google, and she later joined as a full-time employee. She was promoted smoothly over the years, eventually reaching the L6 level. However, she didn’t want to transition into a management role, so she remained an IC (Individual Contributor) at L6.
  2. As Google grew, the cognitive load in terms of technology became immense. Newcomers joining Google might need more than a year to fully grasp the existing tech stack.
  3. When she joined Google, she felt that the company was leading in terms of technological innovation. But by the time she left, many other companies had caught up, and it seemed that Google’s once-brilliant shine had faded.

  3. 当她加入 Google 的时候，她觉得 Google 在技术上有许多创新，而当她离开的时候，许多公司都已经赶上，似乎 Google 的风光不再。
