Move to Bloomberg?
They want to “fast track me” and want to bring me in for an initial 2 hour interview. How is it over there in NYC? Perks? Just curious, I don’t know if it’ll match anything here but I’m interested in the work they’re supposed to be doing.
Can't trade any stocks without at least 24 hours of approval; infra stack from the late 90s at best. They are trying hard to start using more OSS-ware, but they werent able to come close to my SFDC pay, nor will they likely reach your Google TC. Their offices are super nice and shiny; gotta given 'em that; they seem to treat their people good too
I appreciate the honesty bro! How much is your TC at Salesforce?
It was 420k - 236k salary, 20% bonus, the rest rsus - I moved on end of last year though
Overall TC would be lower than Google or other FANG but total cash comp would be higher. Stock trading is not restricted to 24hours approval. Thats false. You can trade stocks freely, but can't sell them without holding them for 30 days, unless you are losing money, then you can sell even immediately. Cannot do options. Other perks. Free access to all museums to you + 1 sometimes +3 in New York city. 401k is 50% match Pantry is free, snacks drinks fruits breakfast. There is no free lunch, since BB believes in sustaining local businesses. But they have what they call "Soup" at noon everyday. Free dinner at 8:30 pm if you work late. Free shuttles to home if you work later than 8. Free conference tickets if you want to attend any. Just need to suggest to your manager and explain relevancy. Free badminton membership for the year. 50% reimbursement to wellness related expenses like gym, bikes etc. Tech stack is modernizing fast and I'd argue it's better than most as of today in software infrastructure. Also low or no bullshit or beareauctacy but that may differ from team to team. Also contributions to OSS and tech standards like TC39 etc are highly encouraged. Also shiny offices and state of the art standing desks chairs etc is a given. For annual party, they rent Randall's island for two days and it basically has everything for those two days including booze concerts and what not Contuniouks education is more emphasized than I have ever seen before with access to lots of courses and trainings throughout year. You can look up internal job postings and switch teams every year
Wtf I didn't get that secret badminton access either. These low key exclusive inner clubs
BB can never match Goog / Fang salaries
Shiny office, fish tanks, free sugary snacks, top of the line health insurance (still 20 bucks copay though), most profits go to charities, free museums (I wouldn't even go if they pay me honestly). On the flip side is the dinosaur tech stack, crippling tech debt, politics and micromanagement, rampant nepotism and nontransparency. BBG recruiters would sell you the moon and once you're reeled in it's too late to realize none of the fantasy in the job ad is true. I would not switch here from FAANG, except if you're from Amazon.
Hey bsSlaayer u forgot amazon also gives out free bananas. How can BBG match that :)
How much experience do you have? I think Bloomberg is a great place for people with sub 10yoe. If you got more than that, they won't pay you adequately so just go to fang and don't miss that stock compensation
No stocks
Yeah I know. They have fairly high salaries without it though
If you're not an avid trader the restrictions won't matter much to you. But yeah, it's do you job get your check kind of deal. Culture is pretty chilled. Also depends on the teams as well
