base, bonus, stock, sign-on Linkedin 180k, 10%, 400k, 55k, senior level (equivalent to l4 at other companies so please stop discussing this particular matter) Pinterest 163k, 0%, 560k, 40k, (l4, sde2, whatever) YOE is somewhere between 0 and 5 years. Which is better? Teams are equally interesting IMO. Pinterest pros on my mind: upside potential (needs discussion) probably faster promotion (needs discussion) Cons: pinterest offers usually beat public companies by 5-10%. Mine doesn't. Probably linkedin needs me more My main concern about them is that their ADs revenue is growing but product maybe not so much so it's not a super cool pre-ipo IMO, not sure if it's worth the risk. linkedin pros on my mind: cash way better benefits (50% 401k match, all kinds of perks)
Are those numbers pre-negotiation?
After
A friend recently got an L3 offer (CMU masters new grad) where base salary was 150, so your base sounds good. Can't speak to any of the other numbers. Would you mind posting pre negotiation Pinterest numbers?
I think it is an okay tc on blind
What are the tc's really? How are you a senior with a meagre 1.5 yoe?
LinkedIn titles are inflated as fuk: see levels.fyi
Seems like TC is inflated as fuck too
1.5 year at 180k base as “senior”. WTH?
There’s no way this is real.
Sde2 IS Senior.
300k plus with 1.5 yoe 🤒?
How are refreshers at LinkedIn?
I heard it's lower than FANG, airbnb, etc. Not sure about pinterest. (Airbnb l4 target refresher if I remember correctly is 92k which is way above market average. Too sad I can't get an interview for level 2)
I'd probably go to pinterest for the upside.
Thank you for the first on-topic advice in this thread.
Btw, phd or masters?
How did u get L4 offers with 1.5 YOE?
300k for 1.5 yoe??? I think you are the highest paid 1.5 yoe in the company.
I agree it's on the higher end based on the internet. What would you say to these two offers? Is Linkedin refresher bad as some would suggest? Is staff promotion more difficult than, say FB e5 promotion?
15 yoe or 1.5 ?
Yeah cuz I was wondering if you were a troll or bad at typing.
I edited yoe out hoping for a more constructive discussion.
