Have these offers, all at Seattle area. Team wise, Amazon and Dropbox have interesting projects and good wlb, Google hasn’t team-match so not sure, Lyft has OK project. Would like to have some opinions on which one would you choose and why in 2 different cases: 1) Assuming all titles are SDEII and TC would be similar 2) Assuming Lyft offers Senior (Dropbox would probably match, and Amazon and Google probably won’t) I’m asking because Tc is not the most important factor for me now. Career growth and having fun at daily work without sacrificing too much wlb are. Any relevant information is appreciated. Eg. culture, politics, company future etc. Thanks
Congrats! I think Lyft has good culture and growth opportunity.
Google > lyft > Dropbox > Amazon
Congratulations !!!
Great to hear that career growth and having fun with daily work are important. Congrats!
By the way, how do you think about Microsoft?
MS is the safety net and good for parents and retirement if you come from other companies. But as it’s big and things depend on teams. Also it doesn’t usually pip so you’d expect to work with some incapable coworkers and be a cog in the wheel. Being there long enough you’d think MS is the best company in the universe and never see the outside world. Also MS underpays too much, especially to band 61-64 and immigrants on L1 visa who’re the major work force in MS
I haven't heard great things about Dropbox's WLB. Personally, I would rank them: Google > Lyft > Dropbox > Amazon
It seems the team I interviewed for at DBX has good wlb. Why do you rank Lyft prior to DBX?
Google / Amazon > Lyft > Dropbox
Culture wise, I would definitely pick Lyft having a slight edge over Google, but I think startups generally have a better culture than monoliths - both are excellent companies. I've also heard great things about DropBox. Amazon is not great for culture but great for TC and skill growth.
Really? I think Lyft can offer the highest TC among all 4
Promotion and WLB is very similar to Google. Comp is a bit lower for the same level.
The Big G. Do it.
TC or GTFO
Haven’t got the numbers yet. Also I listed 2 cases as above
