I am a new grad from India, tier 1 college. I am confused among the offer of DE Shaw and Google.
Can you help me in deciding what’s right for me at this stage of life.
Points to consider:

Both the companies are known for good work culture. Pay is more at Shaw, but google has its name and status in society. I think it will be hard for me to crack shaw later in life as compared to google. And i think if i go from shaw to google with promotions , i will also be paid more than simply choosing google. Cons at shaw is small teams and not much diversity in choosing teams and work, internal migration is also a factor.

De shaw:
Base: 28
Joining bonus: 3
Annual bonus: 4-6
Other bonus: 20L to be paid in 4 installments on yearly basis

Google:
Base: 18.5
Annual Bonus: $30k to be paid as 33% for first two years
Joining Bonus: 3L paid as 33%, 33%, 22% and 12% for consecutive years.
Joining Bonus: 3L

  • Nobody joins Shaw(HYD) after Google. However you'll see a lot of Shaw alumni in Google.
    Shaw NYC is a totally different ball game.
    I'll suggest checking with some Googlers on LinkedIn who have worked at Shaw in the past.

    Shaw is the best payer in the market for new grads in India. Things take a turn when you become SDE2. Also, after 1 year Shaw will remove your variable part and only base is left. You are entitled to year end bonuses which are distributed within teams based on the pnl contribution and impact, so older employees bebefit much more from this than new grads.
    Bonus has no cap but I've seen my friends getting around 3-4 lakhs. Leads get much more and so on...

    Just join Google.

    Also, no point in joining Shaw pver Google at a later stage. Pay for higher levels is higher at Google than Shaw. So noone in their right mind switches from Google to DE Shaw.
