Hi all, I’ve got two offers and I’m unsure how to make a decision. I want to make sure I make the right choice for my career and life. Any insight would be greatly appreciated. CarGurus SWE $125k Base $15.5k RSU / yr $5k sign on ~$159k TC Better location and work/life balance but not too excited about the tech. Indigo Senior SWE $145k Base 1500 stock options ~$166k TC Better team, manager, and tech but I hear there’s high stress and lacking in work/life balance? YOE: < 3yrs
Why Indigo Ag is better?
Company is expanding, definitely more exciting than car gurus. Going to disrupt the Ag industry. Plus know few people who work there and they love it.
I don't know about Indigo, but CarGurus recruiters teased me with $180k base, 15% annual bonus and $250k RSU. That's at 3 years YOE. I declined the on-site.
Why did you decline the on-site?
I wasn't interested in the position (Java web stack) and hear the company is mostly Bros
CarGurus is expanding as well. People I talk to really enjoy working here. The eng org is as far away from bro culture as I can imagine.
What’s the TC peak for an average senior engineer at cargurus? Assuming through promotion
Did you end up deciding what?
How is culture at indigo , I hope it is not hire and fire?
