I am at 10 YOE all Amazon. Disney offered me Staff (senior++/lead), ~320TC. Potential cliff after 3 years. Me and my family love Disney so the perks are actually pretty cool. Project is super interesting, but not a lot of new tech to me (AWS). Don't know anyone there. I'm not likely to see a promo or pay raise for this for a long time. Google downleveled me to L4. Same TC as Disney (less cliff?). I don't care about title at all, I can wait a couple years for getting to L5. Perks are obviously great. I think I will learn a lot more technology-wise. I have a lot of friends at Google. A lot of career and pay growth potential. Kind of weird I will likely have way more responsibility for the same pay at Disney. What would you choose? TC 250k with the stock tank.
what perks Disney has?
I know nothing but Disney, Staff Engineer and $320K in the same sentence is too good to be true!!
I know, right? Its not like those companies that start at senior either, there are 3 levels below. It would have been less if not for competing offer.
I feel like Disney is a better bet than Google at the very moment, at least in the short term
Duck Google and their down level.
Where’s the neither option, keep interviewing
Disney is a good place to park during recession
What real experience are you basing your comment on? Your skills shrink at Disney. Everybody knows that. Don’t fall for the magic bullshit.
They are a different company compared to the last major recession in 2007, but they certainly faired better than many on the balance sheet.
Don't count on Google promo in 2 years tho
Location would be the major factor here. If it’s the same, I would take google. It’s going to be hard to move up from staff at Disney and you’ll own all the on call at that levels.
Why would you take a down level if TC is the same or close? With that experience I would set the tone, not be told what to do by someone else.
I know what you mean, but I think given I don't care about the title, the opposite question is my concern. Why take a "promo" with more work with no pay increase?

People who like Modi, are you okay with your country’s leader using words like “infiltrators” for a community?
Disney streaming?
It's some lower level platform service. Not specifically streaming. Don't think I should say more :)
