Joined MathWorks two months back. Got a PayPal offer yesterday. 15k jump from the current TC (plus stock options). But w all the lay offs going around and PayPal stock plummeting, not sure if its worth the risk. Any advice? Thank you.
TC or GTFO 🤣
MathWorks is a very stable company. Don’t come to PayPal for 15k
Highly recommend MathWorks in your case. Switch later and prepare for more TC bump.
Thank you!
Mathworks HQ is nice but it’s also in the burbs. However there are some insanely smart people working there and the work is really Cool imo. It’s so ingrained in research and the automotive/aerospace industry it’s not going anywhere. It would be like the entire financial system ditching excel for google sheets. It’s not happening.
Yes I did find the work interesting so far and team/people are indeed very smart! I do see a good learning potential here. Thank you.
Paypal is a sinking ship with poor TC, why risking for 15K?
Why you gotta do me like that
Can I ask the PayPal TC also offer position?
What did you decide OP?
What did you do finally?
Since there is no much diff in TC, I suggest to stay in MathWorks, prepare well and try Google/Microsoft. For other companies, it's better to wait till things get normal
Yes. That makes sense. Thank you.
