Hi all, Got an offer to join Roblox as IC5. Should I move there? Currently L5 in Google, might have a chance of promo in Q1'2025. Want to also get some perspective on economy vs Roblox layoffs. Current TC: 430k Offer: 570k
Location?
YOE?
Roblox is also integrating LLM. I’d join
lol what for? Fortnite doing one as well?
Yes. IC5 is equivalent to Staff And if you were happy at Google you wouldn't have interviewed
This sounds like a pretty big promo. I say go for it. It's pretty good over here.
Take the offer. Worst case, you go back to G within the year but I doubt it.
The offer is good and if you’re good you’re unlikely to get laid off. But be ready for a much less robust eng environment than Big G.
If it's Ic5, you should take it but first I would say its low balled. Did you have competitive interviews with other companies at staff level? Any other staff would blow it out of water.

Is Roblox still growing and doing interesting things? Always seems like a fad to me with limited revenue opportunities. Great TC, but what will you be doing in 2-3 when no one is on there anymore?
I can say the same thing about Google. All the positions I see and people I interview, no one is doing anything interesting or impactful.
And thats Y those even apply to ByteDance .. With just one or two apps if you have interesting thing to do what about companies that built 100’s of such things .. Just don’t talk B.S without any idea .. Every company has important strategic units and some non important stuffs ..
