How many of you in EB-2 India category think of going back to school for PhD and getting a bunch of publications?
Location?
Orlando FL
They’re trolling you with 69k
Lol youre right didn't see that. But overall what do u think?
The stocks and bonus seem right. They also give annual refreshers. 92k seems ok for a new grad. I made 130k base with 5 years XP when I first joined. Now at 175k with 16 years.
I had interview with them and they called me to tell me that I was the top candidate so far. Then they said they are providing 115k / 120k max for SWE role. I am so tired of these companies lowballing me. I told them that's lower than what I am currently making. Still haven't received the actual offer but let's see. Yoe: 5
That's a really solid new grad offer for the orlando area (where i live). I'd recommend to keep interviewing though, maybe you'll find something you like more.
Thanks 👍 how do you feel about Disney as company? Any experience?
I'm personally not a fan of disney and I wouldn't work for them because they can't meet my salary requirements. However in this area I don't think any company will be able to come close to that salary for a new grad. I also think the equity will appreciate fairly well over the next few year. It will be a good place as your first job, you'll get to learn a ton. Disney does get to do some interesting things around the park and work with technologies you wouldn't really expect. You could easily make it a career there and be "rich" for Orlando. Or you can learn somethings and bounce whenever to something else. It would not be a mistake at all to take the job.
Disney sucks in tech. Parks is the worst
Ok, but why?
I agree.
I don't have SWE salary context. But for your first question, no it's not covid or omicron so much as the Lake Nona relocation debacle. That's all public knowledge BTW. A lot of employees are choosing to quit rather than relocate to Florida. https://www.forbes.com/sites/megandubois/2021/07/19/disney-is-moving-2000-jobs-to-central-florida-in-an-unprecedented-uprooting/
I see your point, but I'm already living in Florida
Right - I'm just saying the position(s) you're applying for is likely due to vacancies from CA, that need to be filled in FL.
