What do you think is wrong with a kid who got rejected by 9 colleges?
What's you're career goal? I don't think there is a once size fit all answer. I want to switch to contracting and as such am trying to get all the major cloud providers on my resume. So I'd choose Google. But if you were trying to go Fintech obviously the answer is different.
YOE and levels needed.
Had an interview with them.and every single.person was less than 6 months old like wtf
Less than 6 months old, like actual babies? Fuckin prodigies these days
oof which org?
Yifang why did u use your real name 🥲
These look like 2-3 yoe offers? Mentioning the level will get you more feedback from Blind.
Level is in the title. All mid-level Amazon L5 equivalent
By level I mean being precise on what the offer entails i.e. L3 at Stripe, L4 Google etc, not "mid level". These look more like L4 Amazon equivalent i.e. for Stripe an L5 moving from Amazon can expect around $480k to $550k and L6 moving from Amazon can expect $600k to $700k. New grad offers at Stripe are currently in the $280k region. This is what I have gathered from Blind posts.
I work less than 40 hrs a week, developer productivity folks I'm pretty sure work more than that, but tooling works less. Foundation varies a lot, and there are many projects I can't mention that have great WLB from what I've heard. WLB here is extremely self-service. You aren't monitored, it is up to you to get the work done however much time you want to do it. Btw you can just check anyone's calendar, you will frequently see sleeping blocks, or gym, or some outdoors activity blocking on their calendar, but I seen people who have non-stop meetings sun up to sun down some weeks. Culture is..covid. A lot of people will complain about the culture shift due to AWS folks coming in but I chalk it up to people not going into the office as often anymore. There are still monthly events at most hubs, and there are a lot of groups you can take part in if you want something fun to do with people you work with. I do wish there were more groups and activities though, especially in this remote age. We still don't have a wine slack channel, I would love that. Team chillness is all over the place, some teams are very lax and will have team members taking leave for weeks or months only to return and everything is fine. Some have it harder, it is a gamble. Everyone here is kind and you can get help on almost anything, although it is a doc-heavy culture it is very difficult at first detangling the web of thousands of docs pages to find the info you need, and you can never be sure it is the most up to date info unless you ask around anyway. You will have on-call, how that goes depends on your team. Speaking of, the feeling is very "we're all in this together". Even though you might work on a project with someone making 250k more than you secretly you both put in the effort. The founders host all hands meeting every week, and the company is extremely transparent, to the point that your recruiter likely gave you more info about Stripe's equity plans than you can find in the docs once you join lol So, I think it is still worth it to join Stripe. We are growing bigger and bigger every year, and we still have momentum. There are still many smart engineers here from the early days, and I guess we will see if the flood of hiring will yield any diamonds
Hey thanks for the response and info, this is great.
Hi congrats on your offers! Would you mind sharing your prep for code and sys. design? Were most of your coding questions medium difficulty? Thank you in advance.
Mostly leetcode medium and some "easy hards". Stripe is non-leetcode. System design I watched everything here: https://m.youtube.com/channel/UC9vLsnF6QPYuH51njmIooCQ And I read a bit more, but I also had practice from my job. I recommend using leetcode premium to sort companies by frequently asked questions.
Congrats OP. I have a Stripe onsite coming up. What do you mean non leetcode Questions? The recruiter did forward me about setting up an environment in Java. Not sure what that was.
OP. Can you please share more details about the Lyft T4 offer? Like how does the breakdown look? Thanks
170 base, 130 equity, 40 sign on. I hear there's a refresher bonus for high performance, but I didn't include that in the TC because it's not guaranteed.
YOE?
