Hey! I recently got an offer to join tiktok in Seattle. What do you guys think, is it worth it to take the risk? It's a non tech role and higher pay then Microsoft. I also feel like Tiktok is more competitive & get to learn more. It seems likes it's filled with people who are Ex - Microsoft, Google, Meta. #tech
Can you give more details about the role and TC both at Microsoft and TikTok?
Details of offer?
Get ready for 996
No work life balance and perf review is very competitive, don’t expect raises regularly.

And many I have spoken to are also ex-Amazon. Do you like your current job? If yes, why do you want to switch? If no, do you like the offered role? If yes, what do you have to lose? I just joined as well and there's a lot to do. Several things that have surprised me positively, other things that could be better. Like in all companies. Just don't believe everything that people say on Blind, several things are, proven, to be total nonsense. But all are doing their utmost to make it a better company. PM me if you have more specific questions.

Save yourself and do not make the same mistake I did by taking an offer leaving my role at Amazon. This place is not worth your mental peace. Stay at Microsoft if you don’t want to kill your soul
You should put numbers so we can help better. A lot depends on the team like with every other company. Talk to the manager/skip and ask them difficult questions.
Many people got bad perf review this cycle eventhough they worked hard. My manager also did not expected bad rating for me. Still got it. Also many people got piped. If chinese you will flourish otherwise might perish. In the end take the risk if consequences are acceptable.
5 days???

How bad is it in meta?
If you don’t need H1B visa, and don’t fear RTO — take it :)
They did mention 5 days in person, but I don't mind free food
I have a friend at TikTok Seattle. He worked from India remotely for a few months.
