Hello Dboxers, Dropbox has confirmed that they’d be extending IC4 level for me and I am currently talking to teams. Is there any major difference wrt functioning, wlb, growth etc between the teams that work on Dropbox product vs the ones that work on Hello Sign. I loved talking to managers on both teams, only thing is I am a bit more inclined towards Dbox teams due to their tech stack. I would prefer working on python than PHP. Would appreciate any pointers that’s help me make my decision. Thanks! :) For Dropbox aspirants - The final numbers will be disclosed after the team match and I will update the post when I know. It should be in the 440-460 range from what I’ve seen on Levels.fyi Interview was pretty standard Dropbox style, concurrency and knowing the basics would help. They take their behavioural seriously and one should not take those for granted. Update- I did not mean Docusign but Hello Sign, it is Dropbox owned signing solution, so the choice is between Dropbox core product teams vs Hello Sign that is a different product altogether but owned by Dropbox. Yoe-8
The only thing is that I wouldn't be surprised if they get acquired in the next 2 years. Their market cap is $11B and Drew might get bored running the company.
What is the TC offered at Docusign? I had an offer from them 2 years back and chose FB over Docu 🥲🥲
Oops, sorry Buddy I meant Hello Sign, it was an Acquisition made by Dropbox, and hires through Dropbox interviews only.
What’s the offer?
Numbers Will be disclosed after team match as I’ve mentioned in the post :)
It looks like you have competing offers. IC4 for 8 yoe is not common.
DBox was my first offer, I did get other offers within a few days after Dropbox confirmed the offer and position. Btw do you have any thoughts on Hello Sign vs Dropbox teams, may I DM you?
Sure. I am considering FB so dm me
Definitely Dropbox. HelloSign operates in a bubble/silo of its own. But at the end, also depends upon the team you are going into. What teams are you considering in Dropbox?
Thanks for the input, may I dm you?
HelloSign used to have a different and lower pay band. Not sure if it’s still the case though. If the offer has the comp before you make a decision on the team, it probably doesn’t matter.
Yeah that shouldn’t matter wrt comp.
Congratulations! I don’t have real input for your question. How long after onsite you had to wait to get an update?
Congrats. Dropbox is great. One data point... IC3, TC $415. You should be over $500k at 4. Cheers, welcome to a amazing company
Dropbox and HelloSign are two separate codebases and have separate processes as a result. Dropbox is a monorepo and uses phabricator (not an issue since you're coming from FB) and bazel. I believe HelloSign uses github and doesn't have a monorepo.

Why are you moving from FB to Dropbox? It's a sinking ship, have you seen their stock in recent years?
I’ve worked at both, and I really miss DBX. Way better culture, wlb, and less bureaucracy. Food and office was way better too pre covid. I made more money by switching but honestly not sure if it was worth
Not at Dropbox but I own shares. wouldn't call it a sinking ship. The company is growing consistently and getting more profitable. The growth is slow but that's not a sinking ship. Stock is doing well year to date. Their two years after IPO were rough but things are improving. It's probably better to join now since the upside potential is big.
