I got some final offers from these companies. All of them are Bay Area. Base + bonus stocks/yr + joining bonus for 1st yr Discovery: SDE2: 190 + 15% + 50 + 20 = ~290k OCI: PMTS: don’t know the split yet but ~340k Zillow: P3 (SDE 2) 180 + 15% + 50 + 30 = ~245k OCI role requires to be oncall every alternate week (8-5 pm local time but weekends included) So I am not very keen on that. Zillow and discovery work is almost same. Wondering which of these is better for my career (during my next job change) Please let me know your thoughts. Current TC: ~200k #Zillow #oracle #OCI #discovery #offer review #offers #job
Hi congrats on your offers! Would you mind sharing your prep for coding and sys. design? Were most of your coding questions medium difficulty? Thank you in advance.
Yes all of the coding questions are either easy (20%) or medium (80%) company tagged questions will def help. Educative for system design
I’m amazed that the folks here on Blind, especially the folks with 1-10 YOE don’t consider the most important criteria when choosing an offer…. “Do I like the domain I am going to be working in?” That is, is it distributed system, cloud, AI, security, databases etc. In the end that’s the experience you should be building, preferably a lifetime in one of these areas cause then the pay you the big bucks. Most folks here are “full stack, I’m good. Tell me about TC and on-call”.
zillow has frequent tech layoffs...
Join discovery. You will thank me later
What’s 50 and 20 ? Did you get 150 k for 3 yrs and 20 sign on? Go for oci , there stock will appreciate
Zillow has insanely good WLB and you can be fully remote from everywhere, with no change to salary. So that 245 TC will go very far in LCOL. But we don't have bonus (just base + RSUs) other than the signing bonus over your 1st and 2nd year? Not sure what the 15% references in your post

People who like Modi, are you okay with your country’s leader using words like “infiltrators” for a community?
Thank you OP. It’s easier for you.
Thank you!
