Indeed vs Wayfair offer
Indeed - Business Intelligence Analyst role (Austin location). Wayfair - Strategy & Analytics Manager role(Boston location). YOE: 7.5 TC is almost same for both(high 140s) but Wayfair’s is in Boston which is more expensive than Austin. I was really impressed by Indeed’s work environment and the team. Also, Indeed has better perks than Wayfair. However, Wayfair’s is a Manager role (with 2 direct reports initially). Which one would you chose? Any pros or cons of either company? Please share your thoughts in comments. I am looking for suggestions in terms of future growth potential, work-life balance, comp/benefits comparison.
Was interviewing for wayfair, looked at their Glassdoor reviews, backed out.
Which role were you interviewing for? Their comp is definitely much lower than the competition.
PM. I don’t even remember what their TC was (think it was a bit under but they’re located in Boston instead of sf) but reviews made it seem like a shitty amazon
Is it L3 or L4?
L3. Is the TC good for L3 Level or should I ask for more? Also, do they give L4 Level at 7 YOE?
Indeed ... Wayfair is no comparison. Indeed folks are super smart. 140k+ in Austin is wayyy higher than 140k+ in Boston. To be fair, you really are only betting on Wayfair stock climbing like crazy in the next 5-6yrs and that'll average your Wayfair annual TC at a higher level. But then that's a bet you are making. There is sufficient room for the stock to grow, but Amazon and Home Depot will pump in big bucks to steal market share. If you are willing to bet, go for it.
Fair enough. Wayfair’s role is a Manager role though(one level higher than Indeed’s role)
Indeed
Do wayfair, get the manager experience, then jump ship.
Indeed
You will regret coming to Wayfair from your first day onwards.
Any particular reasons?
Politics, unfair compensation and favouritism
Indeed. With the growth, if you want to move into management and have the skills the opportunity will be there.
Where did you pick? I’d have picked Wayfair for Boston opportunity and managerial
How many YOE do you have
7.5
