Why is our country owned by Israel? I don't want my tax dollars fund genocide. How can we stop this nonsense?
Currently, having two offers from Expedia and Bloomberg: Expedia: TC 165k (base 143k, stock 42k/4years after first year, 22 sign-on) Chicago, SDE II Bloomberg: TC 210k (still verbal) NYC, Senior Engineer Things I am looking for: - career growth - have one last chance for h1b TC: 90k in no name, 3 YoE. #bloomberg #expedia #expediagroup #software #swe #offer
Bloomberg. You can negotiate the Bloomberg offer up to 300.
They said 210-220 is max. Do you think I should ask for 300k, sounds like a far shot?
it is a far shot for your YoE and how much Bloomberg pays.
Expedia, Chicago is low col area
Chicago is not LCOL
Chicago rent in a nice apartment can top 1800-2000 in the city, or close by the city ~1500. For NYC, rent is more expensive. I will have to live far to pay a reasonable amount.
I agree 100%, especially in the suburbs areas, prices are decent.
Expedia product sounds more fun imo. Also, base seems pretty decent for Expedia. I am not sure about who handles visa situation better, but chicago is better in saving up for sure.
For Expedia, is it 42k foe for 4 years?
Yes, it’s always this way I think
Verizon is right, updated post
You will have more upside with Bloomberg and its name opens up more opportunities for you in the long run
Dude…how are people this stupid?? Just because Bloomberg is a private company I bet. Their engineering talent is definitely faang level. Many people turn down Amazon/Microsoft for Bloomberg. Much better than Hulu or Expedia for sure lmaoo. Go on LinkedIn. Many Bloomberg engineers go on to work at Google, Two Sigma, Citadel, Jump, etc.
Hi congrats on your offers! Would you mind sharing your prep for sys. design? Were most of your coding questions medium difficulty? Thank you in advance.
Thanks! for Expedia no System design. For BB, just watch GKS and Grokking sys design.
I don't know about Expedia but if your last attempt at h1b fails, Bloomberg will transfer you to the London office for 2 years (with almost ny pay) and bring you back on L1. That alone in my opinion makes it worth choosing bbg
Yes, I agree. Only bonus point for Expedia, is I like the product more.
Low Ball Bloomberg! New grad I getting that much lol
Yeah you should try to negotiate for more.
I checked levels.fyi and found a really wide range of TCs. What is a reasonable TC you think I can negotiate for?
Bloomberg
Can you please give more details why?
