I interviewed with couple of places, got an offer from twitter and expecting one from Google soon. Here are the details: Current position: E6 TC: 550 Twitter: Staff, TC: 570k + 60k sign on I don't see this as a pay raise. But more having a better WLB and diversifying my resume. I don't expect google to give me a better offer. They have a reputation for being cheap. My concern is more around future of twitter. They seem to start getting it together. But with their track record of dragging their feet and not having a growth mindset not sure about their future. Want to get other people's thought on twitters future? Thoughts on the move? YOE: 5 + PhD
Hey OP, what do you have a PhD in?
EE
Join and move on after an year or so.
👎
Just curious, why do you think so?
Are you saying do not join twitter ? If so, why ?
Whats the location of your offer? Seems like a great offer for twitter staff
SF
I think its worth it
Never move without a pay bump (unless you're very unhappy where you currently are). You need to be compensated for the risk you're taking in changing jobs.
How did you get to E6 at FB with just 5 YOE? I expect the PhD helped but 5 still seems pretty small.
Getting to 6 is the challenging part. Took time found a very ambiguous risky new scope and a good manager to support me. Moved to that team and put structure around a part of scope and helped build a new team around it. Took 3 halves and then got the promotion.,
congrats! This is a genuinely great accomplishment.
What kind of position? We’ve done a few good hires from FB recently
If you’re E6 at Fb you probably could chill at staff here imo. The company seems to be going in good direction, atleast for the next couple years
In a similar boat — how do you feel About the company’s future ?
Come for rest and vest
