Need some advice. I have received an offer from Wayfair, while Microsoft and Twitter said they'll roll out an offer soon. I have a deadline on the Wayfair offer. Offer details- Wayfair L3 Base 190k CAD Bonus 10% RSUs 800 stocks over four years TC ~ 275K CAD Toronto Twitter - waiting (remote) Microsoft - waiting (Vancouver) My question is, incase I don't receive the final numbers from Twitter or Microsoft before the deadline, what would be the best option? Way fair offer is almost double what I am making right now. Will appreciate any inputs. YOE : 7 TC : 145k CAD Current Title: Senior Software Engineer Update 1: Twitter is offering SWE 2 Tentative numbers- Base ~150K CAD Bonus 15% Stocks ~340K/4 CAD There might be a Sign-on TC ~ 260K CAD + Sign-on
Accept it, bird in hand. Get others to speed up to complete before new company start date. Do not turn down an offer for double comp ever based on hopes and dreams. Microsoft pay in Canada is peanuts and likely will not be better but worse than what you already have in hand. If others come in better decline wayfair after the fact. Don’t let it lapse.
If they are pressuring you to accept, then accept and renege. Try asking for more time first.
I know two things: Wayfair is worse than Twitter. Wayfair could be better/worse than Microsoft.
Is your tc calculation correct? (190) + (190 *0.1) + (800 /4) = 409
If you are comfortable reneging. Accept it and wait to see what twitter and Microsoft offer. Use the wayfair offer as leverage for negotiation. Personally I would rather work for Microsoft or Twitter but that's me.
Pls update Microsoft level and offer when you get it. Pretty good base in Canada. Looks like pay is hiking up there for good
I was at Wayfair. I would say wait for Microsoft. Microsoft has better perks, pay, WLB and they treat their employees better than Wayfair does 🙃. It also depends on the team you end up in at Wayfair. I know few which aren’t that great.
Can you please provide some more information about the not so great teams?
Twitter should win for TC. Accept the wayfair offer and reneg if necessary
Microsoft I believe pays like shit in Canada. They discriminated Canadian lot. Wayfair and Twitter could arrange global pay. Btw I am about to join wayfair and TC could reach 350k CAD in L3, not sure what level you get in Twitter and how you want to negotiate. But I have e to say wayfair offer surprises me when I am in Canada, respecting every company that treats Canada and US employee in the same way, especially Toronto and Vancouver are very expensive cities.
Agree, I was surprised too. If you don't mind what's your YOE and Wayfair TC breakdown?
That’s honestly an eye opener for me. I have my friend from school at Wayfair. Hence my comment above. Is L3 staff engineer or sr engg?
If they can’t wait, decline
