New grad here, starting June/July 2021. I have an offer from Roblox and final round for TikTok next Monday. However, I won’t be able to sign with Roblox until next year if I don’t decide by end of this week (holiday shut down).
Roblox:
$142 base $200 RSU $15 sign-on
TikTok (base grad package from someone who got it):
$125 base $70 RSU $20 sign-on
TikTok (heard from hiring manager at Roblox):
$150 base $120-160 RSU $30 sign-on
Roles are both backend engineering in the Bay Area. Supposing both opportunities were available to me, which should I take? (If the general consensus is Roblox I plan to end my discussions with TikTok early.)
Some thoughts:
- I will miss Roblox IPO.
- Really enjoyed speaking with Roblox interviewers.
- Political controversy around TikTok is a not a factor.
- TikTok interviewers seemed super exhausted (bad WLB?).
- Rumors that TikTok does not increase TC upon promotion.
Would love to hear more about WLB, career growth, and technical growth opportunities at the two companies.
Any insight is super appreciated.
