HBO Offer

I got an offer from HBO for Senior Data Engineer, not sure how much they pay for this position. Also how is the work culture and learning? I have heard some mixed reviews with learning not that great and some issues with reorg due to acquisition. This is my first offer. Should I continue looking and try for FAANG and other Tech companies like Lyft, AirBnb etc?

What is bonus - 28k - 188k? Is 188k your equity over 4 years? You mentioned “no equity”.

My bad, it’s 188k total. Updated the post

oh I see. I don’t know much about data engineer payscales but this sounds low for a senior software engineer.

What’s your current TC?

130k. I know I am underpaid, that's why looking to switch.

Negotiate to a nice round $200K TC then take it. Will increase your quality of life greatly

HBO could be great for getting that streaming video experience on your CV. If you have some interviews lined up at FAANG etc I'd certainly do them but the offer seems pretty solid.

I used to work for WB. When compared to other companies, they rank pretty low on compensation. There is no stock to give out. They hold their $$ close to their chest, reserved for those at the top. There are plenty of better companies looking for data engineers. Good talent doesn't stay long at WB for a good reason.

NY office is okay. Seattle is in a bad place.
