Calm down honey bunny only in Bay Area do you have to pay $4k rent for a decent place.

So read your earlier post. Seems like you coming to Walmart was a mistake!

Bloomberg 10xFortran OP Oct 26, 2018

Pretty much. I got a leadership role, but the technical challenges and level of hands-on work were very oversold.

Are your offers 100% bonusable? In other words are you confident you can get the bonus no matter what?

Bloomberg 10xFortran OP Oct 26, 2018

Yes, both bonus percentages are the "show up and do your job" numbers. Where I am I could get as high as 35% if I really kick ass.

Forgot to mention, this is NYC

Sorry not hard enough

Your walmart nos are low for. Principal. More suitable for staff which a grade below. I know walmart staffs make that much in bay area. Also in ur walmart offer, they offered 150k rsus with progressive vesting?

Google pciO74 Oct 26, 2018

I think he's working at Jet

Vudu CfqO17 Oct 26, 2018

For walmart staff level. 60k rsu when you join and 60 k rsu every year in april. Each 60k vests over 4 years.

Microsoft CptCook Oct 26, 2018

Dude the perks, prestige and WLB are well worth it. Not to mention you'll get to work with top notch engineers. I would work at Google for free if I get an offer. And I say this with pending netflix offer for 380k

Bloomberg 10xFortran OP Oct 26, 2018

I countered that I wanted $400k RSUs plus at least $25k up front to cover the signing bonus I would need to repay. I would probably take it if they offered that, subject to any attempts to keep me (we are having problems hiring at the moment).

LinkedIn goddo Oct 26, 2018

Are you fucking kidding me. You'd work for free? Boy aren't you madly in love with Google.

LinkedIn goddo Oct 26, 2018

For your YoE, don't accept anything below TC $300k. And don't listen to the Google fanboy.

Can I ask how many years of experience does OP have? Or OP is a fresh grad? And what area is it in google, deep learning engineer, full stack engineer or others?
