Canceling debt isn’t inflationary or costing tax payers
A recruiter reached out to me last week and talked about Capital One. He mentioned that Capital One is very technology-focused with a fairly large engineering group and that they have been investing heavily in AI/ML. In terms of TC he stated it is mostly cash with base around 300k and around 150k-200k in annual bonus. How is the company culture? Is there a lot of interesting challenges and new vision as the recruiter claimed? I always associate Capital One with subprime lending somehow. How is the team in the AI/ML space. I hear they are doing a lot of new hiring - Is the entire leadership chain new? How is the tech stack? I heard that they were one of the first to move to the cloud among the traditional banks. Is the ML stack pretty modern as well? Regarding TC and role, is Sr Director a first-line manager or manager of managers? What is the higher end of TC for Sr Director band? Is it possible to get 600 / 700 TC ? 300 TC cash is appealing. Would the base compensation in that case be 350-400? Current TC: 500 @ 10yoe - SF , not in Finance / Fintech. #capitalone
Did any of join?
Their interview process kind of sucks and is super disorganized, was very non technical and not particularly deep from a people/product/program management perspective. I also ended up with other opportunities that will pay me more than Capital One, so gave up on chasing them to schedule the final interview rounds.
Thanks for responding. Got it!
They hired the head of engineering from FAIR (Abhijit Bose), seems like he is building out a new org. Beyond that, good questions all around, they seem to be reaching out to many folks (me included) and at least apparently acknowledge they will need to pay FAANG market prices if they want high bar talent.
