How does credit karma even make money? By ads?
Microsoft is great but run far away from the Maps team. I used to work there.
Bad management?
Extremely bad. Product side also has no motivation to do something good and innovative. Eventually it makes sense as Microsoft maps really does not have that much adoption. You’re mainly just working on ingesting data from data providers and hardly adding features and making product improvements.
Are these the same level?
How was interview for CK Charlotte? Thinking about making the hop soon Regardless, that offer look great. My friend lives in a luxury apartment in Charlotte and it’s like half the price of anything In SLU
Op what did u take ?
Hey did CK negotiate at all? Getring an offer so trying to see if they will negotiate or not; Also how far do you have to be to get relocation?
Hi @hrudu! Did you accept the ck offer? Did you negotiate?
Hey got an offer from CK - did you negotiate at all? How much signon could they potentially give if I try to negotiate?
Credit karma for sure. Redmond Seattle areas that's a lot more expensive than Charlotte.
