Hi fellow blinders, need your opinion on the offer and some insights on working at these companies. Any comments from company culture, product to growth and level would be appreciated. Offer: Box: SDE3 Bay area Base 180K Stock 160K over 4 years Tc ~ 220K Qualtrics: L4 Seattle Base 135k Stocks 250k over 4 years TC ~ 200 K I’m leaning towards box because of the product but would like to know your opinion Yoe: 2 Current TC: 120k Seattle #engineering #software #swe #facebook #google #offer #offers
Bay Area cost of living + income tax? No thanks. Come to Q
Makes sense though, thanks for the suggestion
What level at Qualtrics?
L4.
Was that after negotiation? Why would you go there for bottom of band Amazon comp?
Qualtrics is lowballing and won’t give you more than L4 at any cost. Go for Box
Really? $20k diff in Bay Area vs Seattle is lowballing?
You left out the Bonus portion of the comp at Qualtrics and that could get your numbers closer to Box . You will have opportunities to take on more ownership and build things faster at Qualtrics with a decent wlb.
How was refreshers at Qualtrics? I was told 10% of initial grant by recruiter though I am hearing 100k from blind sources.
100k at L4
100k in first year, followed by 100k in second year and so on? With each year grant following usual vesting period. What you are saying is in direct conflict with what recruiter told me. She told if my initial stock grant is 100k, I will be given 10k in stock refreshers each year.
I’d add the caveat that the 100k is expected for meeting expectations. That number can go up or down depending on director discretion
You can prob try to get 8-10k rsu (4y total) on the box offer. And prob a 10-20k sign on. They will prob ask for the competing offer. And depends on how strong your interview was. I like box. It's very chill and good wlb. Good people.
How’s refresher at box??
My over all take on box is that it might be slightly lower TC but much better wlb+ppl than other companies
