Got an offer for N26. I realized that I want the job, I like the company and the future colleagues, but I have mixed feelings about a relocation to Berlin. Anyone in N26 who can share more about the office or the internal plans for remote or hybrid work? TC 70k
Relocation from where?
London
Don’t know much about N26, but Berlin is amazing!!
Talk to your recruiter? Besides it would be useful if you could add the numbers of the offer you got
@frikadel any advice for the conversation with the recruiter?
Just usual stuff, like, do you need to be close to the office, do they have some credible property agents to help with the relocation. Share the same concerns that you have already. You could go further and ask where to find the info about the crime rates, etc.
What’s the offer TC?
A lot of racism in Germany if you aren't white and specially if you have a family. I couldn't stay more than 2 years in Berlin
This
Yes.
Which team? Remote: They don't have any plans for remote work but there is an internal pressure. If they continue to have problem attracting talent, they might bring it. Culture: not great, tons of experienced folks are leaving or in the process. The rest of the company is a little bit lost.
Why do good people leave?
Not much upside with staying - They are behind what market pays. - ESOP deal terms are pretty bad and no point waiting for the IPO. - C-level do not have direction where they want to take company. Top-down management. Denial of attrition. - Thick layer of middle management with thin layer of engineers so things are not moving forward.
Hey OP, did you join N26? Did you move to Berlin? How is it going?
Ended up deciding for a different direction. But it was a good experience, learned a lot about how companies in this phase are dealing with all the moving pieces.
