Have offers from Snap, FB and Lyft in ML roles. SNAP is L4 and Lyft is T5 while FB is E4. Tried negotiating with FB for a higher level but they didn't budge. Really interested in FB because of their problem variety but the TC at Snap and Lyft is much higher. However, Snap and Lyft stocks are volatile. Which would be the best for long term career growth and learning? Current TC : 245K with 4.8 yoe. FB : 167/400/10%, 75k sign-on. Snap : 190/850/0 Lyft : 185/820/0, 30k sign-on. Was leaning FB because of stability and larger choice of problems but comp delta is too high :(. FB does promote fast but that's a gamble.
Take lyft. Even if the stock comes down to 25$, you will still be better off
Just add some context: Snap refresh for L4 is 180k/year. Also L4 is not the terminal level in Snap.
Damn how are you people pulling these numbers with 5 YOE? Congrats man
Need more proof that we are in a bubble?! Make the most of this bubble.. Chase TC while it lasts!
Very different industries.. historically, bankers/consultants used to pull in this much but was never “news” .. now sw engrs do too.. hw will likely never unless in sw industry eg apple/tesla/goog/fb
What is your level at Pinterest? How is your comp so low?
Came in as L3 and didn't negotiate :(
Is your Lyft offer post negotiation? What was your initial number?
Are you E5 at Pin?
How’s L5 tc at Pins
Why do you want to leave Pinterest? There stock seems to be low and can rebound making your tc very high.
The snap and lyft offers are high because they have to offset the volatility. Snap had layoffs not too long ago in addition to Lyft and Uber. The market in the current state won't tolerate non-profitability for too long, so keep that into account. 1M in equity means nothing if profits don't materialize.
Yep one of the reasons why I'm wary. But assuming I don't get promoted at FB in the first year the comp delta would end up being very large.
I'm looking at the comp structure you outlined and the difference with bonus and refreshers is about 60k which is not that much after taxes. Your raises, refreshers, and bonus amounts based on performance have the opportunity to decrease this gap even further.
