I thought pinterest was laying off? I’m kind of surrprised they are still doing well
They already laid off many folks last year. Not sure of another round, but I don't feel that yet. Rather, it seems like they want to cut the costs by decreasing the TC expectations in my opinion.

Second this.
In this case, Pinterest would be actually better than the LinkedIn option.
Is there even a case where LinkedIn is better
Don't join Pinterest it's a shit show..
OP, what location would you work on? Do you know who your manager would be in both? Have they clarified work from home flexibility? In my opinion, LinkedIn would be less risky as the social platforms sub 1B (Pinterest, Snap, Reddit, X, Nextdoor) have unrealistic expectations from the market to become the next Meta. They aren’t big enough to secure the big ad budgets because few marketers will get fired for investing safely with Google Search or Facebook/Instagram. They buy on one of those others, you might lose your job. Thats when revenue expectations don’t meet expectations and these companies have layoffs. LinkedIn is not immune, but its performance isn’t public. If you can handle Amazon, I’m sure LinkedIn wouldn’t be so bad for you. I say this as someone planning to leave in the next few months. Good luck!
Offer tc of both?
