Any former FANGers at Qualtrics at Senior or Staff SDE levels? If yes, why did you guys left FANG for Qualtrics? I can see why would Amazonians leave, but not Facebook or Google guys. Thanks! TC 300 @ L6

There's a bunch of former Amazon and Microsoft people. Haven't seen any F or G folks. Although I know some non technical people from F.
Also know a non technical from G, L6
I am not sure about qualtrics but going from any big company to a smaller one is a big boost in terms of title and TC if you are director/principal level or equivalent. That's how big money is made as you usually get super high equity in those moves.
I am from Amazon 😃
Were you L6 at Amazon? And L6 at Q? Let me know if DM is preferable.
I'm not from fb, amzn, or google but I interviewed at both fb and AMZN and still chose Qualtrics because the culture and WLB seemed a lot more my cup of tea and the pay was pretty comparable.
You are saying that you got offers from both FB and Amazon and still chose Qualtrics? What levels you interviewed for and was offered at all of them?
L5 at Q/FB. Interviewed for sr sde @ amzn but didn't wait for them to offer since they were my "safety" option i didn't really want to work at anyways so unsure of exact level designation.
Jared Smith, one of the founders and then CTO(?), moved from Google.
Jared is exception. If you read the story he didn’t want to join. Also, at his level and wealth who cares.
Plenty of staff from the big G at L6+.
LinkedIn shows only 1 sde at L6 level from G. The rest are either MS, Amazon. Senior principal is not, CTO is not from G. What teams have L6+ from G?
The CTO is the creator and leader of Alexa. Qualtrics got multiple high profile people from Amazon and Microsoft and those folks made millions.
Do a simple linkedin search
I did. Found a couple of former Googlers and Amazonians. There still might be some who didn’t update their LI.
