Man, you are killing it! I wish to get these kind of offers someday.

Facebook blinder$ OP May 14, 2019

Sure, you can do it. I thought I could never be able to crack any interview, but FB’s crazy work load forced me to prepare and here we are !

Microsoft blind1186 May 14, 2019

Thanks for kind words man. What’s easy for you is very difficult for me. You are getting all these offers because you have special something other than ability to Leetcode fast enough.

Microsoft pichaindl May 14, 2019

Salut! How did you land those offers? Can you mentor me? :D

I would also like to know this. Feels like I need to jump into ML or something to get these kind of offers

Facebook blinder$ OP May 14, 2019

I am not ML specialist I am a system generalist with some distributed systems knowledge

Wow those are some amazing offers. Congratulations. Considering Uber's current stock price, would they be able to up the RSUs?

Facebook blinder$ OP May 14, 2019

Uber said base and stocks are non-negotiable. I got the RSU in terms of $ value not unit count , so current stock price won’t matter until I join

Makes sense

Facebook gd5wv9 May 14, 2019

Are you ML specialist?

Facebook blinder$ OP May 14, 2019

No system generalist

Facebook blinder$ OP May 14, 2019

Why is blind so biased towards Google 🧐

Microsoft myan May 14, 2019

These offers are crazy good for Seattle! Congrats! Take Google - probably will be the best for WLB.

Thanks for the tip

Holy shit dude. With 3.5Yoe, these are not only great offers but also great levels. I am coming up at 3Yoe now and it's inspiring.

Intel AQup26 May 14, 2019

Congrats! Very good offers! Google hires L5 with 3.5 YoE? How did you get them to interview you at that level?

Facebook blinder$ OP May 14, 2019

G recruiter was pushing hard for L4. I told him L5 or GTFO. He gave in.

What about bonus?

Facebook blinder$ OP May 14, 2019

What bonus ? I mentioned the sign on bonus already. If you are talking about annual bonus, that’s as per company policy.

OpenText TSLAstock🤣 May 14, 2019

If your offers are real, they would indicate the target annual bonus...

Riverbed Technology MvVh20 May 14, 2019

OP is a rockstar for sure. Congrats dude
