Mozilla Offer Is it worth it???
I applied for a SR. Financial Analyst position at Mozilla and was offered a base of $150k with bonus potential of 35% which would bring me up to $202k. I honestly don't believe Mozilla is a strong company but am considering the role because my current comp is very laughable at Microsoft base 95k with 10k bonus and 6k in stock each year with 7YOE. However, I have to take into account that 85% of Mozilla's revenue comes from Google and 67% of Mozilla cost is human capital. There contract with Google is about to expire and I don't know if Google will renew. So, if their contract doesn't renew a lot of people will lose their jobs. In 2020, they had 2 layoffs and essentially 310 people lost their jobs. I'm currently in the process of interviewing with FAANG companies but they are moving fairly slow. However, I have final round interviews with Netflix on Friday, I'm in the team matching phase at Google, and for some reason Meta's website is messing up for me so I can't even apply. I get all the way to submit my application and then nothing happens. I also interviewed internally with MSFT I completed 2 final rounds nearly 2 months ago and they don't have a decision. Aside from FAANG, I anticipate offers from Splunk, Redfin, and Twitter before the week is out. Should I take it?
why would you not take it?

Take mozilla and interview at other places
Did you pass any other interviews? Did you fail faang? How come it’s the only offer?

Maybe include that in the body of your post? That’s helpful and pretty impressive too! Then maybe wait? Why jump? Google and Netflix can probably pay more
Wow thats quite a bit. I'd switch in a heartbeat

Hi Tony
You are doubling your TC. This is a no brainer.
How are you landing these interviews? Are you getting referrals prior to applying? Or are recruiters reaching out via linked in?
I applied to a position at Twitter, Redfin was via LinkedIn, Splunk was via Linkedin where I sent an inmail to the Lead recruiter and she connected me to the Finance Recruiter, during the same time the DEI Lead messaged me asking if I would be open to interviewing. Mozilla came through Recruiting agency, Robert Half. For FAANG, I applied to a Netflix role in 2019 but turned them down due to not believing in my ability to pass the "Keeper Test", as I was just starting out in my career and wanted some job security. I reached out in November. Google reached out via email.
Slightly off topic but what level is SFA at MSFT? Also I say take the offer, it'll give you a few more weeks before you have to start anyways. BG check and what not, you'll have plenty of time to see what else pans out
SFA is Level 59 and thanks
Thank you!
Your tenure at Mozilla will be a short one (<1 year) and the bonus they're waving in front of you will not materialize. If you take this role, be sure to keep looking and interviewing.
What exactly is there to deliberate?
