Currently I have offer from LinkedIn India(Base-14L, 33kUSD Microsoft Stocks over 4 years + 1.4L annual bonus + 1L joining bonus + 1L relocation + health insurance and other benefits). Pf is not included in base, it's mentioned seperately in the offer. I am also expecting an offer from Twitter , India. TC- 19.9L base + 20kUSD Twitter RSUs over 4 years + 2L annual bonus + 4L other benefits ( not sure about what it exactly includes) Also not sure but probably twitter is including employee and employer Pf in the base. I have already interned with LinkedIn this summer and had a great learning experience, really like the team and the manager. I guess Twitter is starting in India and as far as I know they just have their data team in India currently. Really confused which would be a better option considering all the factors. Please specify the reason for a particular choice if possible 😅 #engineering #swe #offer #tech
Whats the profile for twitter India? AFAIK they only have data engineering in India. I'd go towards LinkedIn personally just because of this.
Yes they just have data platform team in India , profile for twitter is software engineer and for LinkedIn also it's SDE, So considering this team factor LinkedIn is better?
I think so, but if not worked at either of the places. Atleast at linkedin you have the option to change teams incase you don't like the one you're assigned.
Which org in LinkedIn?
It was LinkedIn lite team, what should be preferred? Also any suggestions about the data platform team of twitter
I don't have personal knowledge of Lite, though I think that group is branching into other products recently. I'm happy at LinkedIn Bangalore, but in a different org. You are right that there other teams in Bangalore where you can move if you don't like Lite.
As a current employee in Linkedin, I'd suggest to join Twitter due to more TC + more impact due to small presence in India. The tooling+infra at Linkedin is really weak and I dont seem to be learning much.
Is LinkedIn hiring nowadays? If so, what are the more interesting teams that you would suggest? WLB is not that much of a concern for me, but its not like I'm ready to burn myself to the ground!
Ayyy, fellow linkedin India intern from summer 2020 I got an offer elsewhere as well, probably going to go with it But Isn't linkedin lite is a great team to work with coz lite is still fairly new, so higher impact early in your career, as there are many things to work on?
Yeah!!
Where you heading tronkaloid?
I worked at linkedin and i can tell you it is great comapny to learn proper engineering They use microservices, heavy user of kafka and stream processing and they plan to migrate to azure. You will generally get exposed to open source a lot. Now working at fb, i feel i would not learn at all as much as i did at linkedin, tbh
FB would have similar stack if not better right? I thought learning would be more rapid at company like FB as they have a fast moving and dynamic culture as compared to Li
No fb doesnt have similar stack at all. They have many projects specifically addressing the use cases whereas linkedin gives you generic building blocks and you need to do rest yourself, fb uses mono repo a lot as well that is quite nonexistent outside of fb and google. Fb doesnt use queues much either. Generally my impression is that linkedin engineers are much better at system design but there i was closer to infra though so maybe there is some bias. At fb you kind of expect somebody to give you a method to call that does what you need and that is a problem. You get exposed to duplicated data and people dont know what to do and dont understand that your code indeed runs in different regions that causes issues.
Hey OP did you decide where you're going? Also do you know which team you'll be joining specifically? I'm a new grad and received an offer as well!
I have decided to go ahead with LinkedIn coz Twitter recruiter was offering a SRE role
Ah okay, did you negotiate with Linkedin? Or ask Twitter for a swe role?
Your TC matters a lot when you are looking for your next job in India. When I was working there, I was almost certainly offered 30-50% bump in TC from my previous job. Either negotiate with LinkedIn or join Twitter. 14lac base is peanuts given the current inflation in India.
New grad is non negotiable in India, at LinkedIn Also, tc bump is easy, and with stocks, the difference between the offers is about 5L which is totally fine if u are choosing for the team and switch later. 14L base is more than Microsoft India base for new grads.
Microsoft also negotiates. Everything is negotiable
How were interviews?
LC medium 3-4 rounds
LinkedIn. esp. because it is well established in India and have good enough work, you already interned and liked it. You should try to negotiate hard though. It’s a big gap. Congrats buddy! Do good :)

The job market is absolutely brutal right now
I dont have experience w/ either but I would choose Twitter b/c of their WFH policy.
Is the wfh confirmed for Indian office too? Also is wfh good for fresh graduates
I'd also like to know about this more
