I received an offer for both companies and am debating between the two Indeed L2.5 Remote (NYC) TC 320K year 1, 290K year 2 Pros: - good wlb - team seems pretty chill - remote - more days off (24 + unlimited pto) Cons: - potentially no career growth (but I’m not planning to stay for more than 2 years so not sure if that matter?) Audible SDE2 TC 325K year 1, 335K year 2 Hybrid (Newark) Pros: - manager and team seems pretty chill - potential stock upside if staying for more than 2 years - career growth (?) Cons: - hybrid 1 day per week in office is not ideal but doesn’t seem to be heavily enforced - commute about an hr to work Overall, I feel like the TC isn’t that much of a difference and I feel like indeed has way better perks and wlb but audible might have more opportunities for career growth in the future with potential stock upside…not sure which to chose? TC 200k YOE 3 #amazon #audible #indeed
The RSUs are a pain to deal with here. You do not get x amount of cash at vest, you actually get y number of shares determined by your grant.
😭 it’s so confusing
Create a poll, it’s much easier that way. I will vote for Indeed.
Y do u guys hate hybrid/in office so much? Isnt it isolating?
Indeed is a country club
why is career growth mentioned if you're leaving in 2 years anyway? makes no sense
Audible stock vest over 4 years, same vesting schedule as Amazon. Work culture is chill and wlb is good. Not so sure about career growth at SDE2 level though. SDE2 to SDE3 is pretty tough. Again, same as Amazon.
OP which one did you pick?
I don’t think you understand how Indeed RSUs work. They are granted at a dollar amount and vest over the next 4 years (25% at one year, quarterly after)
Yeah maybe I misunderstood but the recruiter was telling me that I get X dollar amount in stocks and they are purchased around the date that it’s vested. So in theory if stocks go down (or up), I’d still get X dollar amount (and if I sell around the same time, wouldn’t suffer much losses(?))
No. You get shares at grant date of value $X. Over the next four years those shares vest at whatever market price (up or down) and you can sell them for cash.
