Considering a move to Stripe from IBM. I work in design. TC $198 (not a Dev, so waaay behind y’all. respect.) YoE 15. What to watch out for at Stripe? What to ask in interviews? How is Stripe WLB? I’ll say I can go out for a walk any time any day at IBM. I work maybe 4-6hrs/day and succeed. 20% project is my life. No bonus, no equity/stocks/options/RSUs, tho. Wondering if I’ll sacrifice my wlb, or if I’m crazy for not going. Your advice and perspective are welcome.

The man I love hates me because I’m Vietnamese
Join stripe if you’re looking for career acceleration. This of course comes with intense expectations. Stay at IBM if you want wlb and stability.
Elaborate on “intense expectations,” please? I might be game.
I don’t think stability is part of ibm. My friend got forced into early retirement.
How about you get the offer at Stripe first instead of wasting time on “whatifs”
Gosh, I’m so sorry I wasted your precious time. Notice I asked for tips on preparing for interviews? That’s why I’m doing the post pre-offer. If you have nothing to add, move on.
This is for your own time I’m trying to save, people often waste time and get stuck on the loop of the whatif job is secured rather than preparing for it. Also, no need to be overly sensitive at 15 YoE by me suggesting that, calm down. 2/3 of your questions are not relevant to the interview itself so don’t act like the whole premise was about the interview. And this isn’t even pre-offer, this is pre-interview which is batshit crazy. It’s like talking to a person about marriage on the first date.
What location are you in? How much are you working per week with IBM?
Depends on what you want from life. WLB will not be that relaxed in Stripe
