I got offer from PayPal India as Data scientist 1 position. I have 6 years of experience and they are offering me 35 lakhs ( base pay ) and 30lakhs RSU. Is it a good offer ? Also, what about stability in Paypal ( PIP percentage ). How is the work life balance.? #dataanalytics #datascience Do they have work from home policy ( Apart from this pandemic) How is work pressure in Data Science team in India?
For 6 years exp, its good package.
Work culture is good.. paypal is known for its WLB. Additionally in PP you get annual refreshers and vest in periods are always 3 years equally unlike many companies where its usually 4 years and unequally.
How are refreshers like ?
Depends on the level. And then sometimes there are additional reward RSUs too. It's been 5 years since I joined. PYPL stock was at 35$ then and at about 250$ now.
What’s your current job profile at HP?
I am data scientist III b with HP
How much on an average we get Stocks and bonus every year ? And also variable pay ?
Do they have work from home policy ( apart from this pandemic) ?
OP, that's an amazing offer for DS1 at 6YOE. Your interviews should have gone pretty well. By Data Science are you into Statistical Modelling? Or Business Analytics, Can comment on WLB accordingly. WFH - Dont expect any flexibility, it's bad here! What is your current base at HP?
I am into pure data scientist team. Will be working with chat bit stuff. Can you tell me more about WLB ?
WLB is team dependent and in general pretty good. You won't need to stretch beyond 9-5. except a couple of days a month.
How is the work culture and stability in india ??
Work culture is silo and ego driven, dont expect any growth as its. And expect very long hours as its kind of norm here. Stability is good but the whole team might get fired if business feels otherwise. 16 got fired the week i joined and the team had high performers as well.
Current TC?
Current CTC is 25 ( including RSU ) but every company has their own standard right ? Why they have to look what my previous ctc was ? I M trying to understand is offered ctc is consistent with 6 years if exp in paypal ?
Afaik you’ll be the highest paid DS1. The normal band is 18-24 Base and 10-15 L RSU. Even the next level is 25-30 base and 20 L RSU. Seems fishy considering your previous CTC is not that high. Either op is lying or knows someone way up. As for 6 years, your avg salary is 20 base + 12 L RSU. Check levels or Glassdoor if you don’t trust me
