What’s your offer?
Same TC?
Tech has ruined these cities. Too bad Dropbox doesn't have engineering roles at more exciting locations.
None
Why? I have to pick one
Why are you joining Dropbox?
The SF office is like a hospital.
Elaborate?
I know it's by a hospital..
OP - which office depends entirely on what matters to you.
I feel we could be a bit more helpful towards OP here... What exactly are you looking for in an office? I think being at HQ always has advantages in terms of being among the most people. I haven't been to Seattle, but I assume the Tuck Shop in SF has more options. Then again, nothing really matters until covid is over. And SF and Seattle are very different. Are those truly equal to you?
Is the location adjusted to COL? Recruiter mentioned the comp is the same for seattle, nyc and sf.
Comp would be adjusted for COE... Cost of employment
Seattle is cheaper and doesn’t have state income tax. SF has better weather and is HQ. If you’re already in the Seattle Area I would think it’s easier to just stay there for now.
Isn't the comp accounting for COL difference?
No comp is about the same for SF vs Seattle.
Initial Offer between Seattle and SF is the same if you get to choose office. You WILL be readjusted if you move from one location to another though.
None! Those areas are way too crowded now.
