I have 5 years experience in software engineering and recently received the following offers. Any input or advice would be appreciated. Amazon (Ads tech) – New York : Base – 165K, Equity – 84shares (as of today($1693/share) 142K, Sign-on: $50K (first year), $50K (second year) Oracle (OCI) – Seattle: Base – 155K, Equity – 6600 shares (as of today($44.72/share) 295K, 4year vesting), Sign-on: $20K Coursera – Mountain View: Base – 175K, Bonus – 5%, ISO – 40K ( 4 year vesting),Sign-on: $25K WalmartLabs – Sunnyvalue: Base – 150K, Bonus – 20%, Equity – $40K (4 year vesting), Equity Refresh – $40K(4 year vesting) / year Jet.com – Hoboken, NJ: Figuring out the number, but told them 270K TC is desirable Tableau – Seattle: Base 135K, Bonus 10%, Equity: 4000 shares(as of today, $100/share). Yearly refresh based on review Facebook (Applied Machine Learning): After HC review, they require one more machine learning design and career / coding follow up interviews.

My current TC is approximately 210K, and unvested stock is worth $150K (included in TC) Thanks for taking a look at my post. Any questions, please feel free to ping me.
Do you have prior machine learning experience?
While I do not have prior machine learning experience, I have been studying myself to become machine learning engineer. I probably did not give good enough signal in ML design round, during the initial interview loop, so I am getting follow up for that. Do you think ML domain would be more competitive comparing to general software engineering (such as building back end services, infra, cloud, etc)?
If they don't get good signals from the design round you could be rejected or down leveled.
I think a lot depends on what you want to do. Oracle though not a good brand would give you cloud exposure. Facebook if you get, is a no brainer. Rest seem e-commerce focused - which I don't know may be your core competency.
Thanks for the feedback. That is good to know, in terms of brand value. Do you think e-commerce sector is as promising as other areas (such as Ed-tech, Cloud, Social Media)?
Oracle. But damn, WalmartLabs doesn't pay shit.
Thanks for your feedback. Do you know if WalmartLabs used to pay more than this range?
How much LC did you do?
I have completed, Easy 186 Medium 152 Hard 21 (not only this year, it is cumulative over a couple years). For few of medium and most of hard questions, I had to look up the answers.
Nice. Thanks for the reply
Great to see your number of offers. Can you share your interview experiences? Which company asks coding questions in all rounds? Which grills more on resume? Which one for behavioral? Thanks in advance.
Most of the companies have mix of coding, system design, and past experience / behavioral interview. These companies seem less care about resume, but coding(in my interview experience) : Jet.com, Tableau, Walmartlabs, Square These companies grills on my resume: Atlassian, Twitter, Apple, Lyft, VMWare These companies asks a lot of behavioral questions: Amazon, Coursera Hope this answer is helpful.
What was your level at eBay? How for you prepare system design and behavioral?
Congratulations! What was your level at coursera?
Congratulations! You are killing it man with so many offers. Facebook would be be the best choice if you get it after follow up interviews.
How does the stocks at coursera vests ?
Oracle
Thanks for quick feedback.
Why Oracle? It’s a company that is slowly decaying.
