Intern return offers for both. Citadel new grad: 150k base 100k target bonus 50k signing bonus Location: NY 1st year TC: 300k Facebook E3 (new grad): 124k base 160k/4 years stock 50k signing bonus Location: NY 1st year TC: 214k I worked on core (infra) at Citadel, so the wlb wasn't bad (worked from10 to 6), or maybe that was just for internship. I'm potentially looking to return to tech down the road, but so far I've enjoyed the work at Citadel. Which one should I choose?
Locations?
NY for both
Dude don’t go to FB NY. Thank me later.
What's the growth trajectory do you expect at citadel in the next few years?
I have no clue... That's also part of my worries because I hear it's variable YoY
Facybuk…. Anyday… money beyond a point is useless
Not the point in the OP though lol
Easy for someone working at Citadel and get bullshit LeetCode money to say that
Only Chase money. Everything else will follow
I’m assuming the target bonus is a one time thing - if so, join Citadel and leave when that bonus is fully yours (probably a year)
The target bonus is a yearly target
If you can afford to negotiate FB up w Citadel, I would try. Otherwise, go Citadel
Citadel. You’ll easily be able to jump to tech later if you want.
How were you able to hold two return offers for so long?
Definitely optimize for money when you start, because it's not likely you'll be able to level up to e5 in 2 years. Then later if you decide you want a more "sustainable" career path or path into management or something, you can go interview in tech again at level 4 and you'll be on par with your peers. The advantage of tech is if you're a staff engineer you get a low variance high TC, but no one will hire you as staff until you have a lot of experience.
Do you have a masters?
