I had interviewed with them earlier this year and almost accepted a EM SW Eng Mgr position. I think the almighty put some wisdom in to my dumb brain and I didn’t jump ship. Learn from Argo AI and stick to a stable job, even if it pays less. immigrants usually have a hunker down mentality, I tried to venture outside of that mentality 😀 Tc:400 Argo AI TC: 600 ( if I remember)
For people who don't have visa problems, they can be more adventurous in life, experience whatever makes them happy. You only live once, stick to stable might not contribute to rich experience some people want. If Argo AI succeeds today your post might be "omg I just missed 1 million (or management opportunities in successful business)".
There is no if. I would never join an AV company at the beginning of this year. People understand a bit about AI and the area will know that it is very risky to join such a company this year.
It's more like adventurous VS stable, and being YOLO, not about specific industry. Also some people really like AV and it's fine for them to experience it. Maybe not the best time but it's where their heart and passion is.
Had a similar situation happen a year ago at the start of 2021 but with Facebook which was right before they became meta. I kept thinking about switching and I don't know why my gut kept telling me not to despite the higher TC. Always trust the gut. Or apple.
Honestly it seems the severance package was pretty generous, plus you MIGHT’ve still had a job with Ford or VW
Yeah severance package is awesome
Confirmed
I really enjoyed my time at Argo and don’t regret the past few years I’ve spent here at all. I met some really great people, saw some really cool places, and learned a lot along the way. I’m on a H1B and found the severance/terms to be generous. I’ll certainly miss working with my very talented colleagues, but I have confidence that everyone will land on their feet.
I don’t love the way senior leadership handled fundraising, but appreciate that they wound down the company when they did — instead of running the company on fumes all the way to 0.
how are you dealing with h1b? 60 days?
How was your 600k offer split between base and equity?
I was waiting on an offer this summer and then my recruiter got laid off. Never heard from Argo again. Was a blessing in disguise it seems.
….. is aurora next?
They had rejected me in an onsite loop with a reason they found a better suitable candidate.
