Got an offer to join ByteDance. Wouldn’t be a promo but the team sounds good even. The TC is way higher, but is it worth it given ByteDance’s bad reputation? Offer: Non-tech manager (3-1) Base: $250k Target bonus: 25% RSUs: $45k in first year (total= 1600 or $312k @ $195) Signing bonus: $30k Current: M1 non-tech Base: $188k Bonus: 20% RSUs: $28k/year
If the team and product is something you like then go for it since the TC is also higher
Are you Chinese ?
That’s pretty decent for non tech
Which team in ByteDance? I used to work there?
Trust and safety
Heard the workload in T&S is intense, so be prepared.
Just curious, what do Bytedance employees in the US offices work on? TikTok is it’s own separate company and none of the other Bytedance apps are in English right?
Which location?
Mountain View
Cool I'm a 3-1 in a non tech role too, but based in a lcol country, you can neg the sign on up to 2 months of your base plus get abit more rsus
996 is real
Your offer is much higher than a regular 3-1 offer in non tech. Usually it's caps around $330k/$340k. I think you got yourself a really amazing offer, almost 400k. Looks like they really stretched to give you the offer, which is pretty rare, congrats. You should definitely join the team that really wants you, you'll have a great career path in such cases. There is a lot of noise out there but the company is doing a lot of things to make things better. Lot more emphasis and plans on WLB, promotions and quality of work. As long as your direct manager is not in China, you are sorted. Lot of WLB issues come from meetings with your team in Asia, which they are trying to address as well. It's like any other tech company with good WLB. Also you have a senior role at 3-1 which means a lot more things will be in your control for you and your team(assuming you are a people manager). Very few times you get a chance to join the company at this stage, TikTok just beat Google this year in terms of most visited website. So this is just the beginning in terms of opportunities. Given the jump you are getting plus the timing, I think you should not miss this opportunity. Time to move on from Meta, TikTok will take you to a different pedestal. Be smart and choose wisely. Good luck with the new beginnings.
Agreed^
