Linkedin vs Google new grad
New grad, which one. Linkedin 180k TC Google 160 tc Google name is better and more consistent refreshers it seems. Microsoft stock is doing much better though. Worth the 20k diff? How much refreshers can I expect to get at linkedin first year if I exceed expectations?
There was a time when Google did no evil.
Google sucks. Join LinkedIn.
I'm impressed with your work at Microsoft and think you'd be a great candidate for a new position at a hit startup named "one of Kansas city's best places to work" in Forbes. Please let me know when you have some time to set up a quick chat
Sounds good. Please reach out to me to set up the interview.
Google. Refreshers will make it up for you, also guaranteed bonus, and a better brand that you can use to to anywhere else
Still a pretty darn good brand name
My previous roommate chose LinkedIn over Google, with SWE offers from both. His rationale was that interviewing at LinkedIn gave him the impression that people are more collaborative and helpful there than Google. He's an ex Amazonian, so that may have been especially important to him
Google has a lot of boring maintenance work for SWEs, be prepared to take on such work if you join Google. My choice would have been LinkedIn, given my situation.
Well atleast Google has a LOT of boring work. LinkedIn has little boring and almost no exciting work in most of the orgs. Top that with little kingdoms inside LinkedIn trying to protect their territory. You have one heck of a political thriller which largely prevents you from moving the needle.
OMG please tell me what team you’re in because my team is so overworked we need a break
If you do well 1st year at LinkedIn you'll be looking at a senior engineer promotion. That'll be much better than any refresher
Assuming I get meets all, what's promotion velocity to senior like? What about refreshers for meets all first year? Will be in infra
No concept of std refreshers. You perform well, > MA, you get more 💰. RSU and base. Bonus is generally 1.5x target because the company is doing great. This is what people miss most about LinkedIn vs other companies (f,g). + Higher chance of impactful work than g. + Say you work 1x in g to get MA, traditionally you'd get EE in l. That way your l 💰 will knock g 💰 out of the park. If you rest you'll get fired in f, vest in g & l. + Better food + Better collaboration. People are generally helpful and aren't entitled. + Promo with EE in 1-1.5yr. Of course, none of these apply if you are going to data infra. That is like g without g refreshers.
Pretty sure Google will match your LinkedIn offer. They usually try and beat. You can get your cake and eat it too.
Vice versa.
Given the linkedin offers I am seeing on levels.fyi, pretty sure linkedin will match and also beat Google TC, even when Google isnt lowballing...
You know deep down where you are going to join ;)
LinkedIn, obviously. Our cafeteria is better and our bikes aren't death traps like gbikes.
Given the number of likes Google guy got, I have a strong feeling OP will obviously join LinkedIn :)
