I've interviewed with Block for a Staff role on Afterpay, and I'm also interviewing for a Principal role at Atlassian; at this point I'm expecting (hoping for) offers from both. Both jobs are fully remote in Australia. Does anyone have anything particularly good/bad to say about either companies and reasons I should (not) consider either? Does anyone know what equivalent level number "Staff" is at Block? My understanding is that they use an "L" number internally but their titles on public job listings seem to depend on the product and location, and levels.fyi was not much help. #atlassian #block #afterpay #swe
Come back when you have official offers. Don’t count your chickens before they hatch.
Aussie TC 42k dollarbucks 5 snakes 2 white pointers and 5 wandering spiders
Do not join Atlassian
Care to elaborate?
It's a shit show. The management here is crazy. They mismanage everything and try to blame it on ICs. P40s are asked to design intricate scalable systems while P60s and higher just right random ass documents. Decisions from above are random but they trickle down so slowly it takes 3 months to get to you. Imagine not k owing your reporting structure for over a year. I have three different people telling me to do 10 different things. When you draw boundaries, they are not respected. Expect meetings after 6 PM. It's a very normal thing here
Only poll for offers, no point if you fail the interview
Afterpay won’t match Atlassian offer though. They pay nuts. Check the levels.fyi. Afterpay pays less than Cashapp.
it's pretty good here, i like it. we're onto something good
Hi Op, have you got both offers?
Any updates OP? I believe Atlassian P60 should be harder to get in than Block L6, did u end up getting both ?
Do you have expected compensation of both companies to work with?
Atlassian would be ~230K base + super, 15% bonus depending on performance, and ~250K stock over 4 years. Block I don't know - they don't seem to talk compensation until you get an offer, which I hope comes next week.
P60 could be 275k and L7 is about 250k
