TC or GTFO
Impossible to say without TC
Omg..1.1M rsus... that's amazing..I would definitely take linkedin assuming it's for senior staff
Should I just accept based on highest comp ? Culture, growth, learning, etc ?
It's not just the comp.. I think Linkedin is considered in tier 1 companies.. and culture is great from what I have heard... growth you have to see because that would depend on team..
For Atlassian: which office? (or is that more than you're ready to reveal?)
Mountain View
I'm not as familiar with the MTV office culture - every office is its own unique subculture, which is a little weird to me - but you should know three things: 1. Jira calls the shots. Always. 2. You'll have to learn how to deal with Australians. Even though you're still in California, there are still a lot who've moved up here, and there's a lot of short- and medium-term visitors from Down Under. You may also wind up visiting the Sydney office before long. 3. The technical side refuses to understand the different facets of the non-technical side (marketing, finance, etc.). The non-technical side refuses to understand the differences between dev, support, and infra teams. This causes a lot more internal bubbles than it probably should, especially around ShipIt (the quarterly hackathon).
I wish I had that much free time to spend interviewing. Last time I only had time for 2 offers.
👏👏 How did you prepare sir? Apart from leetcode
I am already in a senior role and have a family. Don’t get much time to prepare. Did 50+ Leetcode. System design is what I do at my current job, so I did not prepare for that. Except Rubrik and one question at Cohesity, everything was from Leetcode and Glassdoor.
How did you choose this set of 50+ problems?
why not more tier 1s like Linkedin? the only others I’d consider are Rubrik and Atlassian
Did not clear screen at FB( missed one optimization ( klogk vs nlogk ) and I was out ) . Have onsites at few other.
I am also leaning towards Rubrik, if I don’t make it to any other tier 1s. I already have one of FANGs in my resume.
Cohesity seemed like a great opportunity. Lot of lowballing from recruiter, bad vibes from many interviewers, so not sure.
How long did it take you to interview at all of those companies?
10 consecutive onsites in 2 weeks . Have few more scheduled.
Wow. It takes me 2 days to recover from one 5-6 hours onsite.
