How's the WLB at LinkedIn? Google is known for having good WLB

LinkedIn recruiters take their time to reply and one of interviewed was half asleep during interview so I guess extremely good.

Could mean they worked through the night. Never know why they’re half asleep.

See this regarding linkedin refresher. Initially comp maybe higher but subsequent years would probably be lower. Check out this post! "LinkedIn staff/senior staff (Compensation)" https://us.teamblind.com/s/HOm4yjmc

What is their refresher strategy?

Oscar 🐨koala Aug 7, 2019

See the comment according to linkedin employees (near bottom). TLdr: what I get from it is that there is no standard strategy. All up to manager.

Get Google higher using LI competing offer.

VMware peMa27 OP Aug 7, 2019

It is taking forever for LinkedIn team matching. And Goog is pushing me to make a decision.

How did you prepare for system design OP?

VMware peMa27 OP Aug 7, 2019

Grokking the system design from educativeIO and YouTube videos. There are some helpful links on github as well. Next time I will use flash cards for concepts and then practice on problems.

Breakdown of offers? Includes signing bonus or no?

Do Google, comp delta is minimal and Google is the much better company and learning opportunity. It is also bigger, so more opportunities over time.

Growth wise: Google 140k employees (80-90k eng) LinkedIn 14k (3-4K eng)

Google bittlity Feb 4, 2020

Google doesn’t have $140k employees, and definitely not 80k eng.

Google, refreshers much more predictable and are higher

All the comments are for Google but poll says otherwise 🤔
