Help me choose between LinkedIn and Cruise
Got offers from LinkedIn and Cruise LinkedIn Role: SE TC : 250k (base and RSU) Sign on 60k Location: Sunnyvale * good team * great wlb * Brand name and less uncertainty *Hybrid Cruise Role: SSE I TC 288k (47K paper money) Signon 50k Location: remote/SF/seattle * Seems like a good team, work is not bad for sure * ipo * fully remote but i prefer hybrid In terms of career growth, learning opportunity and job security which would be better option. Not worried much abour wlb. Heard layoffs happened in both LinkedIn and cruise. Anything to worry about that? UPDATE: thanks for all the comments, after weighing options i have I am going with Cruise. I think Cruise will succeed or atleast will have good IPO. And also LI recruiter mentioned this offer valid for 1 year and asked me to reach out to him if something changed YOE: 4 #software #swe
LinkedIn not even a question. Cruise let go of several SWE teams and many more teams during the start of the pandemic… a company that is entirely funded by GM/donors and will not make a “profit” for many years.
Yes. That's true of many companies in the bay. We all live of vapor until we IPO, then it's the shareholders (read: bag holders) problem. 🤣🤣🤣
As an ex cruiser, I’ll say go with Cruise. It’s a great company with great work culture. You’ll earn like crazy with they go IPO. My only reason for leaving was they were low balling me.
What’s the cruise breakdown? Received similar TC with 2 YOE

Is your sign on included in the TC? Otherwise that's low for 4 yoe
Not included
I worked at both LinkedIn and Cruise. While Cruise’s mission might seem exciting, the work culture can really take a toll on you and burn you out especially if you’re in infra. Be prepared for a lot of chaos if you do go in but don’t expect to stay more than 1-2 years there. I learnt a lot at Cruise but not something I’d repeat. LinkedIn will perhaps not excite you but you’ll have a really nice WLB and the stock is doing really well.
LinkedIn. But the only concern is would you be happy for swe position given 4 yoe
I got downleveled.... and i am not happy with it. I can try again next year for senior position
Cruise is opening an office location in Sunnyvale as well. So you can opt to work few days from Sunnyvale.
Ohh nice. Good to know
FYI LinkedIn Layoffs really only affected non engineering folks.
？
Job security and WLB choose LinkedIn, career growth and potential lottery ticket go with Cruise. Working on self driving cars also sounds way more interesting then fb for professionals, but I've heard linked is very chill.
Thanks... i am fine with okay wlb it dont have to be good. Past 3 years pretty chill wlb so wanted to work in coming years 😉
