Got offers from Google (L4), Stripe (L2), and Apple (ICT4) and am curious what people think is best here. TC: Google (L4) - 270 (first 2 years) (average 255 for 4 years) Apple (ICT4) - 330 Stripe (L2) - 305 In terms of the work/team, felt like Google > Stripe > Apple. In terms of work location, Stripe > Apple > Google. However, I am more flexible here and don’t mind too much. Guess my main question here comes down to whether Google is worth the decrease in TC compared to the other two. Stripe is doing 1 year RSU grants so upside may not be that high due to already high valuation and IPO on the horizon. Feel like best case may have 1-2 yearly grants by the time IPO hits. TC: 215k
ITC4 at Apple is way more senior than L4 at Google, no?
Are you an engineer?
Yes this is for Software Engineer
Also going into the office three times a week sucks
Stripe will be able to match the Apple TC.
Can you let me know the split for Apple? Need it for a friend who is currently negotiating ICT4 role
As a follow up, if Apple was not in this list, what do people think in terms of Google vs Stripe. Can’t edit the poll once the post is made.
I feel you are in a position to experiment and go the unconventional route. Go for Stripe now and later you can again try for Google if you are satisfied with your work there.
How was your apple interviews? I have a PS tomorrow for a software engineer ML infra at Apple Media Products. Have hardly done any concurrency, multithreading except for 4 questions on leetcode. Otherwise DS, algo and problem solving is decent. Any pointers please? 🙏
Sorry I’m not in the ML side of things and also didn’t interview for this org so not sure how much I can help here. In terms of my experience I just did the standard leetcode and system design stuff everyone does
Okay thank you. Any pointers on system design prep please ? 🙏
In Stripe, all of your colleagues are millionaires
And you’ll be earning close to 300k yearly 😋 … still better than most
Is that good or bad?
Go for Stripe/Apple. Stripe has ipo potential and despite the stick structure, pays well. Apple has great refreshers, Senior level. Google has neither of the above, lower level and worse refreshers. Better WLB

I do tech screens at Google. AMA
Yoe and location?
3 YOE. Wanted to keep some anonymity in location but can say Stripe is full remote while Google and Apple are in similar COL.
Do you have a Phd?
