Please read and then vote/comment !! I have a friend at a place (like paypal, adobe, intuit, box) with almost 1 yoe (10 months) as sde1 that will promo to sde2 soon - within just 2-3 months asking whether they should take a New Grad E3/L3 role from a tier 1-2 place like FB/G/Snap/pinterest/Square/Uber/Datadog/Linkedin for more TC or wait for promo (Just 2-3 months) and decline the offer Recap: Does it make sense to move to New Grad Linkedin/FB/G/Datadog? My friend is saying they can promo to SDE2 easily within 2-3 months but their new grad offer will expire before this happens old TC: 140K new TC: 190K #engineering #software #advice
For those who answer yes, care to elaborate?
R u the friend ?
Me not the friend just interested
Just ask the place where he/she has the offer to match level w the promo. Places do that. Did something similar at Apple once upon a time.
not an option as offer will expire before promo
Exploding offers are nonsense. They’re more often than not a negotiating tactic. If a place wants you, they’ll bear w you. I’ve had situations where I got an exploding offer and I asked them to push the deadline bc I was in final rounds w competitors. Srsly - exploding offers are dumb - push back.
Join FB/G/Li .. if you are getting promoted here you can also get promoted at your new job. It will get more difficult to get in later unless you have the right experience.
Oh man! That was painful to read!
Thanks I am editing it
