Cisco.

Cisco marawana Nov 14, 2019

What’s Cisco offer breakdown?

Cisco jazk27 Nov 14, 2019

Which BU in Cisco?

Cisco marawana Nov 14, 2019

He said big data team - probably Shanthi?

Amazon 🍌nutmufnz Nov 14, 2019

Bruh you answered your own question. You're interested in the big data team. Alexa doesnt excite you and they're offering less. I'd recommend Cisco and if it doesnt work out then reinterview with Amazon, pass your SDE2 assessment/screening, and ask for 250k

Am in Alexa. Please avoid it. It sucks donkey balls

Alexa Domains - Information, Alexa Shopping - International, or other? Which team are you on?

Amazon Gjdyveycc4 Nov 14, 2019

Amazon. Cisco is boring. Also L4 to L5 in Amazon is easy and your package is high end L4 and low end L5

Cisco VChr123 Nov 14, 2019

I would also vote against Cisco, not much TC appreciation will happen in Cisco even if you stay 4 years, compared to Amazon. Lots of inefficient engineers and managers, so no good learning scope in Cisco

Wlb > all

Cisco 🦙 Alpaca Nov 14, 2019

Disagree, new teams at Cisco have good wlb and decent pay

$210K as a G08?? That's not possible even for the Bay Area

Cisco DiscoBisco Nov 14, 2019

Possible with RSUs which you get if you have competing offers

Cisco NnMk28 Nov 14, 2019

It is possible. I can confirm

Cisco VChr123 Nov 14, 2019

G-08 190k here, have joined cisco as a new grad 4 years ago. External hires would atleast get more than me, so possible

Cisco Be_happy Nov 15, 2019

190k RTP?

Cisco nanashi2 Nov 15, 2019

Did you join as a G-08 new grad?
