I got extremely lucky and passed on-site for google L5. Has offer from Rippling and Coinbase. I’m in Canada btw Tc breakdown: Rippling ~500k signon 30 Coinbase ~380k signon tba (up to 25% of base) Google, no idea yet, need to pass team match phase. Current (Wish lol), base 200, rsu is a joke I’m kinda torn between Rippling and Google. Reasons: Rippling pros, seems like solid product, good upside. Valuation is hella bloated, but even if IPO at current d round valuation 11.5b, the rsu amount is decent. Dev team is relatively small, can work on good impact projects and stuff. Maybe easier promo comparing to Google? Rippling cons, could go belly up. Wlb might be bad. (I got assigned to HRIS team right now). Benefits and other stuff is probably not comparable to public companies. Google pros, it is google, so some resume points for sure. Could potentially work on good projects that impacts good amount of customers. Good benefits, good wlb (if not gcp and ads). Good colleagues that I can learn from. Company is giant size, so if recession happens, should be good. Also senior dev position makes it’s easier to jump away later? Google cons, base pay is probably less. Could be a small part of a super large team, which means less feeling of accomplishment. Not a lot of good praise towards google on blind. Coinbase pros, biggest player in crypto trading world, public company, good benefit. From the interviews, all the eng I met are brilliant and really nice ppl. Coinbase cons, seems like they are having some money issue, hiring slow down, offers paused. Hopefully it is nothing. Also I’m not super hyped about crypto tho. Please help me choose. Thanks a lot! Also any info on Rippling teams or google teams would be appreciated!
AFAIK coinbase pays more than G does. If not, they'll match for sure. No insights about their culture though
I love blind. G wins even without numbers
Rippling raised in the current macro economic environment from top tier VCs, and there’s no indication it was a down round either. You can expect ad-supported business models to take a big hit in a hypothetical recession, SaaS should be relatively less affected.
OP are all these numbers in CAD or USD?
Sadly, it is cad :( Canada has shitty comp compared to its south side neighbor
Great numbers nevertheless
You need to truly believe crypto is the future (not hyped, or drinking koolaid, but “get it” and not be on the fence) to do well at coinbase
Agreed
Coinbase is non negotiable everywhere. Did they allow any negotiation for sign on bonus at least? 🤔
Assuming you are not on a visa. Take Rippling, bank those monies. Google offer is valid for a year. Jump ship to Google if you really want to!
Coinbase
I don't blame you, but it is funny you left coinbase off pros/cons and polls. You must really not like their offer. I would also temper expectations with Google comp, it likely won't be great for Canada but worth seeing what they come back with at least. Should be a reasonably stable option vs the other two, but maybe not worth a significant TC gap.
Thank you for the info. Senior dev position at google is definitely tempting. If the comp gap is not too large, given rippling rsu is still paper money now, I might just go get that noogler hat.
