How difficult is the job market after working for few years in Airbnb? Where do people usually go from here? Would an L5 go to Google, Fb as L5 or do they downlevel? Are other companies able to match the pay?
Google matches 75% of Airbnb RSUs
They will not match levels, they strictly look at your yoe and your level to determine incoming level. Generally you need 6 yoe minimum to come in as L5.
Be prepared to be down-leveled! Airbnb is an attractive employer because of high TC. But I don’t feel like chasing its alum for solving my difficult problems.
Airbnb pay a lot but quality of engineers there is very low. Also it's a hotel website. What difficult problems are they solving. Let's stop that tech bullshit. American airlines websites got more traffic and needs to scale more than Airbnb
It’s all about money..what use can you make of the 10k QPS in Snapchat if you can’t make enough money in ads, versus the easy money you get harvest from them less than 100QPS in AirBnB? Business models play bigger role than nerdy techy problems.
i agree it's about money, but i think the business side, not the engineer side, get credits when our not-that-well-engineered products make tons of money.
For what role?
