Flexport / Airbnb / Amazon
I want to get into an engineering manager role. I have software engineer offers from all these and can’t decide which is the best one to pick to get into a manager role. How do I go about deciding? What has your experience been at these companies? TC: 350K for all three
If you want to learn alot, amazon
Airbnb
350k at Airbnb is likely L4. If you join as L4 IC, you need to first get to L5 to be converted to same level manager role M0. That will probably take two years given the current company size. Maybe you can achieve it sooner in smaller companies.
I’ve an L5 offer from Airbnb, and the TC is much higher, but given how much people clamor for TC here I just wanted to put a number
For L5 you can start transitioning to M0. But M0 is not a terminating level. You will have pressure to promote to M1 in certain time frame.
Why Airbnb over Flexport? One is growing faster than the other. And Amazon is always adding new divisions / products
Same choice here a few months back. Flexport probably low balled like crazy. And profitability is always an issue. Also SoftBank does have the track record of overvaluing
@not why is profitability an issue at Flexport? Are there some structural issues in their business?
Hi op, mind sharing flexport offer details? SDE3?
It's next to impossible to change roles at Amazon
What level at Amazon
Why not try to become manager at Uber?
The team is not setup in a way I can transition to a manager role. So either wait or try elsewhere
Also why stick with a sinking ship
