I have an offer from Bloomberg and I'm currently at Google. while Google would naturally be the obvious option, now it seems unstable with all the layoffs and the jobs being moved to india. what do you think? all in british pounds Note: the move is not for money, but rather for job security
For 10k TC change i wouldn't leave my current job be it Google or any other. If you are nor happy with your job or get stressed in current environment, then it make sense to switch.
Depends how concerned you are with your job security, frankly the news coming out of Google nowadays is concerning.
One final piece of advice a friend gave me once, it's best to get on the life boat while there's still room...
For 10k more I would not jump ships from Google
Ask Bloomberg for more money as it’s not worth it currently to switch. Edit: just to add, it’s important to at least try with Bloomberg before saying no to their offer. I have personally seen cases that were ineligible for rehire after saying no to an offer 10 months prior. (NYC)
It’s downgrade (mostly depending on team) and 10k isn’t worth it
If you can get more money from Bloomberg and wanna chill out then take it because we don’t do layoffs in engineering (atleast in the USA) and that’s valuable in this economy
You'll have to compromise on the quality of work as well (very team dependent).
Does Bloomberg still 1) Ban you from returning if you leave? 2) Force you to clock in and out of the office, if not your individual *desk* ? Both stories struck me as passive-aggressive bordering on psychotic dictates coming from Michael Bloomberg himself, and were a factor in my own refusal at an offer they had extended me.
1. Iam not sure. There is nothing written down officially. 2. You badge in while entering and badge out when exiting. There.is nothing like they force you. It's not like the manager chases tracks the time in btw. I think there are laws which require companies in NYC to know who is in building at any point of.time for safety reasons. Coming from the fire and safety dept I would.guess
My manager has an alert set up which pops up whenever any of my team member comes online or goes afk
I’d stay at Google. Bloomberg once you join you can’t leave and come back. Apparently it’s a good place to retire at in your later years when you want good TC and more chill WLB
