How is life at hbo

Microsoft bumperman OP Mar 13, 2020

Seems chill. Nice wlb

Nice raise. Why wouldn't you join HBO? Is it just the role or you think you can make more elsewhere? The hbo seems heavy on cash which is nice, but what's their refresher policy and other benefits look like?

Microsoft bumperman OP Mar 13, 2020

Only cash. No stocks. No other benefits comparable to Microsoft.

Dropbox SnVD67 Mar 13, 2020

Did you put a dollar amount against those missing benefits yet? This seems like something a 64 could figure out on their own 😉 The lack of refresher policy or lack of equity comp concerns me, but typically companies that pay in cash just give you fat bonuses. So what's the concern actually?

That’s an insane offer. What level is the offer for?

Microsoft bumperman OP Mar 13, 2020

Staff engineer2

HBO hXKO35 Mar 13, 2020

Much much higher than my current pay. This is an insane offer for Staff 2. Is this after negotiations?

Microsoft bumperman OP Mar 13, 2020

Yes

HBO hXKO35 Mar 13, 2020

What was the initial offer if you don’t mind me asking?
