I have two offers considering right now. Please leave your honest comment for which I should take Personal thought: DropBox: good culture, better comp, maybe more scope, ownerships, responsibilities, but not really feel safe about future business. Google Cloud: Big name, good culture ( at least for swe), heard of slower moving and slower promotions, might work on smaller scope of work due to level I am offered? Job and stock safety guarantee when recession comes? Both: Good tech, a plus on resume, definitely a lot can be learned at both places? Dropbox TC 260K IC2 Google Cloud TC 200K L3 Speaking of refresher, which might be stronger (average percentage) Thanks for sharing your thoughts
If they match upto 230k go there.. You will have better learning as you at start of your career
I disagree. I feel Dropbox would be better for learning, as the engineering would be a lot smaller and still hands on
Speaking of learning, I think there are more potential opportunities at Dropbox since the org is smaller, but it really depends on luck, hard to tell which wins are this point.
Dropbox's equity could potentially end up becoming lot lower 🤷
This is something I am concerned of
To factor this, I would consider the current scenario. A pretty simplistic view The stock is falling due to revenue or growth not meeting up to the valuation. The only long term way around this is to 1) identify and capture gaps in the markets for existing product space 2) long term plans to grow revenue. From the earnings call u can figure out the two points. If there are.some promising things other than cost saving scenarios, there might be hope. I
Dropbox thinks of u as a higher level and google doesn’t. That’s basically it
Google 100%. Why even consider Dropbox?
I’ll try to get Google to match and then accept Google. I would want a brand name early on in my career. It will open doors.
I’ll definitely try, what if they don’t match? Will google brand worth 60k difference per year?
60k is a little steep. Within 30k makes me want to take it though. Any how, it’s a good opportunity to negotiate. One more thing - over your entire career 60k will be nothing. So I wouldn’t try to worry too much about this amount unless you have some huge expenses to pay over the short term.
I disagree. That 60k he just left on the table will compound to hundreds of thousands of dollars in a a few years of invested. Don’t ever leave money on the table like that. Negotiate like crazy and get google to match or beat Dropbox’s offer.
That's assuming drop box stock stays at it's current value which is unlikely.
Which team on Dropbox?
Get google to match and then get dropbox to increase their offer. Also DB is in SF and google in MV. I’d lean towards dropbox if I were you
Hi, thanks for your thought, gcp actually located in Sunnyvale, more concrete reason why Dbox? Thanks!
I think the bar is higher at DB to be honest. Prestige is better at google, location in the city, higher level, better comp, dropbox has the best food of all companies. Had a friend decide between them and he chose DB. Don’t think he regrets that decision

Google won't match?
Not sure how much they’ll match, since what I have is L3
They can easily match and beat the offer as an L3
