- Other Great companies to work that are similar to FAANG What are some good companies to work for; good TC, WLB, perks, benefits..etc that aren't FAANG? I was looking into Robinhood, Stripe, Coinbase, and Snap Inc. I feel kinda bored at extra large tech. I want to work at a company that doesnt have 100k+ employees and is growing in size. TC:160k /2 yoe
- Do we lack a sense of community? Was scrolling through posts and so many people are just downright shitting on employees of companies whose stocks are bleeding. Posts like, "peloton employees how are you feeling". Similar posts about Snap, Robinhood, Square, Netflix. Like wtf is point of such posts. Of course morale will be low. A
- Wish Stock Stock price of wish is dumping heavily. A lot of leadership exchange in recent months. Just had a pretty bad ER but direction-wise, it’s good that wish will focus on user retention. I’m curious if there’s promising change happening inside? Will it survive like snap in 2019 or dying soon? The Wish

I've looked through on levels.fyi but there's a lot of different companies and clicking through each is slow, and they don't all have a seattle presence Current list Facebook Google Ube
- How's the morale @ Snap? Shares have come in quite aggressively, even more so than other names in the tech space. How are employees feeling about the current state of the company? I'm actually thinking this is a great time to jump in and started adding today. The only worry is that Snap may need to raise additional capital
- Waiting to hear back after Snap on-site I had my virtual on-site interview at Snap for an L7 non tech role 2.5 weeks back. Recruiter was warm throughout prior to the meetings which were staggered over a few days due to COVID. The last meeting was 2 weeks back. Snap seemed to be in a hurry to close as they wanted to schedule meetings real

- Snap/Uber/Twitter still ‘day one’ company? Hi Blinders - I’m a PM looking around right now as I am sick of the Seattle area. Apart from FB, G, some series B/C startups and ad tech/fintech, I’m also considering Snap and Uber based on where my friend / ex-coworkers went. My goal is not to maximize the comp but rather learning at this point. I

- Layoffs To all the people out there who work for a company with employees always on edge about when the layoffs will happen, I feel for you. Layoffs suck, but the anxiety before layoffs is worse. And after it happens, it’s like a huge weight off your shoulders. I saw on Blind that SoFi and Snapchat also ju
- What is your outlook on Snap? Considering my offer, but curious what current employees think of the company outlook - things interviewers won’t answer candidly. Have you noticed any trend of talent leaving? My vague feeling based on anecdotal experience of using the app and talking to friends is that people are migrating over t
- Why aren’t outsourcing more widely used? Saw a few posts about how the same people doing the same jobs are paid much less outside of the US. With the amount of people in US tech companies that aren’t US citizens, I feel like it’s enough people to form a few large companies outside of the US. With software like Facebook/ Snapchat/Tiktok,
- Bankers 👨💼are smarter than you think tech bros 👨💻 There is one major problem I am seeing again & again with California based startups. These companies are throwing ridiculous numbers and competing with Big tech and sometimes beating them on TCs For example: - Coinbase - Roblox - Instacart - Wish - Robinhood - Snapchat - Palantir - Stripe - DB
- Evaluating Apple SWE offer. Total comp around 450k. (Edit) Breakdown: ~210k base, RSU+yearly bonus rest. Not counting other benefits like ESPP. Pros: Work with really smart people. Top talent in my area. Stacking refreshers. Cons: - I'm not an Apple Fanboy. So dealing with Apple devouts may piss me off on a regular basis. -

Got laid-off with all other salaried employees yesterday due to a huge fun
- 2019 tech IPOs, not everyone popped like ABNB and DASH? So I know 2020 had major TC multipliers like 2X-4X for people that just joined Snowflake, Airbnb, and DD. I would like to keep the subject only for people who joined a few months before IPO (not early employees who went 10X). Blind has “recent bias” and after major pops everyone has FOMO on Stripe
- I can wholeheartedly not recommend working at Fisker The engineering team is bleeding engineers/ employees. Their crown jewel of employees are the car software engineers in SF but not the team responsible for the connected car app? For the most part all positions and work are either outsourced or can be in a snap of a finger. At this trend I believe m
- TC optimization I researched into current job market, seems that tier one company( FAANG) is only willing to pay mediocre salary, for example for l4 level max pay at fb is 270k. While tier 2 companies like Lyft, snap etc can target 300k+ tc for l4. Looks like there is a margin cost for them to hire these eng from

- vote Hot take We have all seen the posts comparing offers from multiple FANG, Uber, Lyft, Snap, Dbx, Abnb, Twitter & more, except the G offer is for a level lower with lower TC to match.

- Does the company pay the same for the previous employees in the companies that it bought? For example, google or Microsoft or Amazon or other public companies which generally pay rsu to the new hires. One day it buys a private company and let’s say its hiring bar is lower than google or ms or Amazon. And of course, pay is lower too. After the acquisition, all new hires to that acquired
