Have offers from Google, Uber and Apple for SWE role and not sure which one to choose. Google L4: Google sounds stable but boring. TM done. Need to choose between Nest and GCP. Nest team seemed better. Numbers not given yet. Location: Bay Area Apple: ICT3. AMP org. Team looked good and offered role matches my experience. Number not given yet. Location: Seattle Uber Freight L4: Not leaning towards Uber. Likely reject the offer. Uber offer came last. Numbers not given yet. Location: Bay Area Which one would you choose? I am looking to optimize WLB, Compensation over 4 years, Refreshers and bonus. Debating whether to choose Apple or Google. Could folks from #google and #apple help me list down benefits, pros and cons of choosing one over the other? Thread will be updated the moment numbers will be given. YOE: 8 ( 3 in US & 5 outside US mostly service based companies) TC: 160 Recently promoted L62. Edit #1: Interviewed for mid Senior role for all three. If I can get salary of Senior level while working at mid level, it’s a win for me 😊. Edit #2: Will make a poll the moment numbers are out. Edit #3: People voting Google, how is Nest doing these days? Is this a good org to join? Edit #4: People voting Apple, how is AMP org?
Kinda low levels for 8 yoe. Uber will probably pay the highest
Not sure of that. Since pandemic Uber offer has been fairly conservative and lower than others
Uber just beat my google offer by 200k. And every other offer by 150. Definitely not conservative. Go look around blind for the numbers they’re throwing out
Did u interview for senior at Uber? Are u front end or backend?
Google without numbers
Fantastic and best of luck! Maybe one day I will be able to create such post on Blind ☹️
you can create one today as well. Nobodys gonna know
Hang in there buddy. Difficult part is to aim and start working towards it. I am sure you have started the prep. Now, It’s just a matter of time.
Ask Apple if they can bring you in as ICT4 (ok with your YOE). Unlikely that Google will do it. AMP is a good team. Which sub team/org?
Apple Music. Do you mind if I DM you?
Google is the best option. I can’t believe apple offered you ICT3. Some apple employees in blind stated new grads can get ICT3 now. Also everyone I know who jumped to ICT4 has <= 3 YOE…
I was surprised too. Spoke to the HM and she told me to not hung up on level. Plus with my experience and line of work, I can get promo in <2 years.
No new grads do not start as ICT3. Blind is best at spreading rumors either by jilted ex employees, unsatisfied current employees and rejected candidates
Google: Nest is going to boom with IoT GCP is a gamble, but knowing cloud is beneficial to future career. But Google has the best engineering team out there. Apple: I'm not sure if AMP will ever succeed or not. I use youtube premium and it pretty much covers youtube + music. Netflix is a magnitude way better than Apple TV. It's a gamble, but a stepping stone to entertainment industry. Uber: This is another gamble. If things are back to normal I'm pretty sure freight business wouldn't be as hot compared to before. But no one can tell when covid will end, maybe next year or maybe in 5 years...
Amp is a great org to join. Lots of interesting work encompassing multiple lines of business. Very high visibility.
How long did the teams take to respond after the recruiter informed about the decision to move forward for team matching ?
Join Google.
Could you please let me know your reasoning?
Check out the reason below. Also, Google is my dream company so obviously I will suggest it.
