I got a new offer with Experian and John Deere which are both at L3 with similar pay scale around 120k-140 K. Which would be better company for my career as both have similar Job duties as full stack with cloud (aws). Any suggestions or more inputs..??
Thanks to blind I am learning new company name every day.
Is Experian or John Deere new ..?? 🙂🙂
These are huge household names wdym
Experian, prob?
Prob means probably.??
Yes, haha sorry! I'd think they'd be more tech-oriented than John Deere, but it's anyone's guess.
Given c1’s amazing wlb, I’d say grind more lc and move to companies that offer more.
Experian is one of the 3 consumer credit bureaus in the US. If you’re unfamiliar, you should probably learn more about personal finance - if you’re in America. Which of the 3 is used depends on creditor and/or region. All 3 are sometimes considered - such as when you’re applying for a mortgage. John Deere is farming equipment. I guess I could see someone not knowing about it. But that would be as odd as someone not knowing Caterpillar (construction equipment)
Software Dev from John Deere chiming in here. There’s been a tremendous push to grow and mature the tech stack. It’s becoming very digital and there’s a lot of growth that has happened (this is a good thing). The downside is that the salaries aren’t the highest and staff engineer is about as high as you can progress on the engineering side of things. Don’t expect a whole lot of advancement opportunities unless you’re Superman and do expect very measly salary bumps. Otherwise WLB is amazing. A lot of positions are very laid back and don’t require 40 hrs. I’m currently looking into making the jump elsewhere to up my salary. Edit: taking the Deere position would allow you more time after work to grind LC and jump to a better position elsewhere in a year. Edit 2: What salary grade did they offer you? Sounds like a G8.
115k with bonus if I recall
Sounds like a Grade 8, you’ll sit there for 2 years minimum before anyone considers you for a promotion to staff.
Not sure it’s been a long time
