Asking for a friend. YoE: 6 months TC: 12 lpa Similar offers for SDE 1 role. Offered TC: Directi 21 lpa (base 17) Expedia 20 lpa (base 15), willing to match base om negotiation. Which one should he prefer? He won't prefer a startup (zeta) unless Expedia is absolutely a no go. #engineering #software #swe
SAP has some personal Issue with Expedia I have seen him/her just bashing. Btw why don’t you(SAP) find a better product company and stay away for passing incorrect comments and rumours like this. Or may be you can not clear it ? Expedia has not done any firing in tech also there is scope of negotiating base salary for your friend here
Tbh I had suggested him to take the directi offer considering COVID. He is the one who is exploring whether to consider Expedia because of his bad experience at a startup. Would you elaborate on the effect of COVID on engineering at Expedia?
There is no effect on engineering. That is the reason Expedia is hiring also else they had stopped Hiring last year
Go to the start-up if all things equal. Probably more tc upside there. Expedia is an excellent company with excellent perks, but the stock is at ATH.
That's the point which my friend is exploring. It's perks and WLB of a company vs stability of a company. It boils down to if instability in Expedia is more when compared to bad WLB at Zeta. And there are no stocks in his offer.
This is not the time to see wlb (0.5 yoe), go for Directi. You will be able to learn more. But another basic question, why are you switching this quick. If you have good work stay for 6 months more and then decide to leave
Why is it so? Assuming someone is getting a hike of say 3-5L and the work is decentish in both places, would it not make sense to change?
I would suggest stay away from travel industry for a year or so ..seeing Expedia firing rate last year and also this year ,it wouldn't be recommended
I think the same. He is reluctant to take up directi because of a bad experience at a startup.
Directi is more than startup . It is excellent company . Many tier 1 folks get campus placement there
