New grad offers w/ first year TCs. If you vote, please let me know your reasoning!!
Amazon - $179k
+ Highest 1st+2nd year TC <----------- I think some of you guys are missing this
+ Potential for the most interesting work considering the variety of different teams. I'm especially interested in stuff like Alexa
+ Comfortable with reneging if I get better offers
+ Might be the biggest resume boost of the 3?
- I don't know my team because I declined my return offer for my summer team
- Don't know exact location
- Kind of depressing spending almost 2 months interviewing only to go back to Amazon
Atlassian - $183k
+ Seemed to have great work culture
+ Not in SF (this should probably be a neutral point, but from the short total amount of time I've been in SF, I'm not a fan)
- Not super interested in Atlassian products
Nextdoor - $161k
+ Got the best feeling from Nextdoor out of all the companies I interviewed with
+ Seemed to have great work culture
+ I like Python and Go
+ Potential upside?
+ Might be the best place for growth/responsibility considering its size?
- Lowest TC
- I might not stay long enough for the future IPO
- I don't know how reliable the cash value of options is here?
A lot of people might put culture over TC, but TC is definitely something I want to focus on because of some family circumstances. But at the same time, I could really see myself at Nextdoor... I'm having a really hard time deciding between these offers. Anyone have any insight or advice?

If you come to Nextdoor, youโll work with modern tech, help scale a global consumer product, and have more responsibilities as a new grad. The downside is you get to experience all the growing pains of a rapidly scaling company.
The business model is solid and we have the revenue to justify our valuation. Donโt work somewhere miserable for an extra $20k.
If Nextdoor is successful, that $20k wonโt seem like much.
IPO in 2 years is a good guess.
We're a 17 year old company highly relevant in today's tech ecosystem. Sure we have some issues that we're trying to solve with the product, but I still say that kind of comp outside of SF is more than just the cash difference. (think about it)
Happy to answer any specifics.
- How flexible is Atlassian if a dev wants to focus on a certain area or avoid certain areas of software dev?
- Do people usually hit the 10% annual bonus?
- How's comp and role growth?
Bonus is based on company performance. Historically it has been hit.
Comp is not the greatest in the market but if you are junior i think itโs somewhat competitive. Also growth as a grad/junior/entry level engineer can be good, it gets complicated after that.
That said Atlassian is not a big FAANG company on your resume that will potentially open more doors.
