Surprised two sigma is so low

Amazon l6sde! OP May 24, 2021

Well, no competing offer…

You can still leverage your current TC and stock appreciation. Below 450 it doesn’t make financial sense for you to go into unknown territory unless it is something you really want to do

Negotiate

New York is expensive for that Two Sigma TC

Shit offer. Stay at Amazon and enjoy growth there. Reinterview with the other finance companies while you don't have a non compete and get a real offer.

Thanks, yeah, I need to put more focus on interview preparation. Failed F and G. :(

No competing offer? You fucked up

Two Sigma blavik(en) May 24, 2021

At midpoint of that range, that's 415k, which is less than 10% bump over your current TC, and a step backwards in terms of career growth (you'd need to get an L5 offer at TS for it not to be a step down)

Amazon l6sde! OP May 24, 2021

Thanks, that’s true indeed

Snap Witcher 😈 Sep 23, 2021

What are the L5 numbers?

Snap QaH7er3PxL May 24, 2021

Insulting. 2 sigma makes money hand over fist.

AT&T OP = sus May 24, 2021

For only ~10% more if they’re not willing to come up then I’d tell Two Sigma that they need 2 sugma.

Lol, fo real? Amazon sucks but people go to 2sigma only for the money. What's the point on earning the same there?

Amazon l6sde! OP May 25, 2021

sad but true. Will have a talk with HM later this week.
