Got my first job offer two weeks before COVID/Lockdowns and hiring freeze in 2020. Got my current job offer at Spotify last month, just some time before hiring freezes + layoffs. If I hadn't gotten an offer for another month, I'd be in shit rn. TC: 275k (spotify stock didn't change much after I joined, been oscillating btw 100-115)

Why does leetcode get so much hate?
Congrats. My timing has been the opposite, unfortunately. Yoe?
it's all luck. 2.5
What field of software engineering? Front end, back end, full stack, Java, mobile, distributed systems?
How are you liking Spotify so far? Fully remote or NYC?
Fully remote but I visit the office often. I'm still in my honeymoon period so I love it. Great manager, great team, great wlb. And I work in ML so the pay is higher than the average Spotify comp. Oh and great benefits!
How can one get into ML? Iām currently an Infrastructure engineer
Does Spotify currently have a hiring freeze across the board? A recruiter reached out about a role but not connecting with them until next week
Mind sharing your offer splits at Spotify?
Sure, 210k base + 65k equity (I'm splitting equity between cash and options, options because I joined when the stock was low and I believe in Spotify's growth and I'm happy with my base)
Is the cash option for equity RSUs? How do the options work?
Congrats! Howād you like the onboarding process?
It was amazing. The bootcamp could be better, but my team was very helpful and made me feel comfortable throughout.
Is there no chance of layoffs at Spotify?
Bro thereās layoff chances EVERYWHERE right now.
Thatās what Iām saying, I was confused why OP is saying theyāre lucky. Just because they got an offer doesnāt mean theyāre safe
Can I get referral?
How long after the onsite did you hear back? (Also, was it through call or email, fwiw)
It took a long time for me, I think 2-3 weeks. My recruiter asked to schedule a "quick call".
Congratulations. So where are you going from spotify?
oops, should have made it clear. the current offer is spotify. I joined this month.
Uber might be suggesting youāre at risk lol
