Just accepted an offer from Slack over Google. TC at both companies is ~500K. Took slack as it is going DPO in few months and work seems more interesting. Did I make the right decision ?
Yes
For what role, OP?
Google is not going anywhere, Slack is in a special time that isn't going to happen again, it is the right choice, congratulations
If you didn’t have FAANG on your resume, I would’ve gone with Google. The reputation matters a lot on your resume. On the other hand if Slack IPOs and doubles its valuation or something, the money would be more than worth it. So 🤷♂️ Worse case scenario, the Google offer will last a very long time :) Good luck and congratulations!
I think G offer is good for 1 year. That said I agree having FB or G on resume opens many unlocked doors.
Google offer deadline lasts an entire year? Wut
Congratulations. What is your role op?
There is a lot of hype around slack. It might do well during the IPO and hold on for a while after, but the thing with one trick ponies is that they end up saturating the market. Saturated market = slower growth = Lower p/e = sad engineers
At what valuation are your Slack RSUs determined?
500k is a shit ton of $$$. What's your level OP?
Yes, you made the right choice.
