Changing teams at Spotify?
Hi guys, so I recently finished an onsite with Spotify NYC. After learning more about the role, I truly don't know if I want to leave my current job (155k tc, 2 YOE, learning a lot, building scaled systems, good wlb) for it if I get the offer. From what the manager told me, it sounds like majority maintenance work of third party tools and taking ownership of them. He even said the ratio of maintenance vs building is probably 60/40. What do you guys think of that? Maintenance of not only a codebase but 3rd party platforms doesn't sound like a Software Engineer to me. And assuming I join and the work truly is boring, is it easy to switch teams at Spotify? #spotify #spotifycareers
Switching teams is easy, but you'd expected to work for a year at least before changing. I agree that it doesn't sound like a great role, I'd look in to other open jobs that we have instead, you can even tell the recruiter that you're interested in the company but not that role/team and ask them to reach out to you if something else comes up
