I have been interviewing at expedia(Bangalore) for SDE 2 role. I have many doubts about it, I read on blind that they changed their titles and SDE 2 is equalivalent to SDE 1 now. Also I want to know what can be expected TC (Base + variable). I have heard that the work is not that great there but pretty sure it would be way better than JPMC. And what about work life balance. TC: 17.5 (14 + 3.5 bonus) YOE: 1.7 #expedia#interview
Expedia SDE2 is indeed SDE1 in terms of general market. This is a border job title change happening at Expedia. With your yoe you are bucketed correctly. You must ask which team is it for. In general the work is pretty amazing and you will learn a lot.
Given the situation, would one not avoid Expedia in 2021 as well? Who knows they start laying off again? Any feelers from blinders?
Have you come across engineers laid off in India? Wanted to know since I have an offer I am considering with them at the moment.
I have a SDE 2 offer with a verbally communicated offer of 26 base (annual TC amounting to 33). I have the same YoE. Going by TC alone I would be taking the offer. [Blind] Check out this post! Going with Expedia SDE 2 offer (India) (Software Engineering) https://us.teamblind.com/s/7dCRFVE6
wow that's a good tc for our yoe, did the HR directly reach out for this number or you asked for it?
and also can you please tell how long did the process took for you at expedia. I have cleared the first two rounds and I am expecting new two rounds next week possibly. Can you share some insights on what they ask in these rounds?

Which org with in expedia group are you applying for? Hotels.com, vrbo , EPS and few other orgs are present in bangalore. sde 2 is not equivalent to sde 1. Work is cutting edge and mostly on cloud. But, it all depends on the team you are applying for.
It is something like a pool hiring I think for which the recruiter directly reached out on linkedin. I did not actually apply for that. Do you have insights on the TC?
You should ask the recruiter for the team. The range for Sde1 at expedia is between 13 to 23 approx ( There will be outliers who has more or less). Sde2 range will be between 22 to 35. Again these are the numbers that i know from friends during my stint at expedia 2 years ago.
