——-Offer A—— Base: 200 Bonus: 15% Stock: 400k/4 Sign on: 50k - 50k first two year TC (first two year including sign on): 375k Pros: Good wlb(45hrs/week), well managed teams, nice people, healthy environment, data infrastructure work (spark, hadoop stack), important team higher impact. Good perks and good number of PTOs Cons: lower brand (Tier 2), avg hikes, refreshers usually every alternate years 30-40k ———Offer B——- Base: 220 Bonus: 10% Stock: 500/4 Sign on: 75k first year only TC (first two year including sign on): 405k Pros: Higher brand one of the best (Tier 1), guaranteed refreshers (70-100k), stock growth is good, backend role in computer vision space so interesting area. Cons: crazy wlb (60hr/week), chaotic environment, team works on specific internal tooling for computer vision data problem, not the best org, most people swamped with work, limited perks and very less PTOs. I am very confused what to pick. I know most people will ask what my priority is, I am usually inclined towards having decent wlb but being in late 20s no dependents(can take risk) and getting a chance to work in one of the best brands (although very chaotic environment) is also very tempting. My judgment has given up this time. Yoe: 6 Current TC: 200 #engineering #software #offer #compensation #career #advice Update: Went with offer A picked wlb over $
Why current tc is peanuts 🥜? Vmware base is really good. Second offer seems from meta. Go for it. Dont take Google
Google brand is not Tier-2 lmao
It is in bay area
Youre making a jump from peanuts to 400k? Suuuuure.... Also, add a poll (and I personally vote option two, youre young, boost thats resume)!
45 hr /week is not good wlb 😂. Please don’t normalize this
That’s probably on the higher end because its an important active group, company avg is like 40hrs/week.
Your offers don't ring a bell. Either you are calling companies outside of FAANG as FAANG. None in FAANG offer unlimited PTOs and second offer doesn't look like FB either as E5 base is lower and your equity isn't high enough for it to be E6 These merely looks like a thought experiment to me. Also you know the rules, even if peanuts just mention your TC.
I appreciate the feedback. I’ll update the TC both offers are Senior (L5) Its not an experiment if you trust me :)
No Faang has 10%bonus
Which do you value more? You’re mental health/WLB or money?
Why do Indians say “very less”? Anyway don’t go to Amazon.

How do you know someone is an Indian ? Assume much ?
Apple all the way.
If you don't have the balls to write the name of the companies, why on **** should we vote and help you decide?
This ☝️
If you had the patience to read the comments it was just to avoid biasness and rather get feedback based on data points I was able to gather over last couple of weeks. It took some effort to gather team specific data points and I don’t want generalized response just based on company names from dumb **** like you specifically.
Da fuq? 45 hours a week is good WLB?
Which companies?
That’s the whole idea, to avoid specific company biasness but all I can tell is B >> A in brand value.
You said compare FAANG offers yet only one looks like FAANG, so you’re getting a bias you don’t expect already from people who quickly read
