BOA vs PayPal
Hello Blinders I have an offer for Senior Risk Analyst position with PayPal (Base : 150k , Equity : 100k/4 yrs, Bay Area, No sign on bonus ) Also, I have an offer to move internally for Quant Finance analyst (TC: 128k, Charlotte ) YOE:4 I personally like the type of role and team in PayPal (Fraud analytics ) compared to QFA (Fair lending modeling). Any insights would be helpful ! #offer
Paypal is a company Id consider. Bofa on the other hand, hell no.
Join PayPal if you are confident in your abilities to perform well and grow fast, perhaps even switch to other companies in Bay area as you gain experience at PP. BofA - low expectations, low growth. Logging into blind will depress you
Ask to join PayPal in a different office? Covid is the time to get that opportunity. Make sure salary stays above other option (e.g. 130k plus the equity) Or just PayPal because BoA surely sucks in comparison
Prefer to move to Bay Area
Then... PayPal, lol
Oh my goodness don't go to BOA. You'll never make it out and will be tricked into thinking you're working on stuff that matters. Only to ask your Bay Area friends in a few years if their companies are hiring. My bad you already work there. Definitely go to PayPal.
Is it coming from a personal experience
Depends on which location you prefer. 128K in NC goes a loooong way compared to the TC in PP
