Offer @ Cisco Base: $120k Stock: $45k Bonus: 8% Signon: $5k Current @ Startup Base: $96k 1.5 YOE Just started interviewing for my next role and got an offer from Cisco. I also have technical phone interviews lined up in the next few weeks with Airbnb, Amazon, and Oracle... but I only have a week to accept the Cisco offer. Not sure if I should risk this offer and try to go for the other companies. Probably 30-40% confident I can pass the other interviews, but confident I can get into a mid staged startup as a last resort. Anyone hear any good/bad things about Cisco?
Which team? Meraki?

Why the time limit on cisco? You should probably ask for more time
When the recruiter gave me the offer, I asked if they can extend the offer past the 7 days but he said that would be the limit :(
In that case it might be best to accept but continue interviewing tbh. There's no reason tp limit yourself based on their constraints. That's the benefit of at will employment.
What's the vesting at Cisco? Seems like a lowball offer for Bay Area. Amazon, AIrBnb, Oracle would beat these offers.
Pass it, not worth it, you are in good warm up time of preparation I believe, try more at other companies. Once you settled for this low offer, that will become your destiny. Cisco work culture is toooooo much laid back or literally no work at all, it will take you huge efforts to come out of Cisco mentality there after.

Is Airbnb even hiring for junior roles?

Did you reach out to recruiters or applied online?
