🙄
Have you ever heard of comma?
Ok will fix, give me some time
It’s what happens when I punch OP in the PP
Also I wouldn't pick chime, that space is too crowded and the revolution in financial industry is blockchains.
And op expects chime grow 3x, while doesn't give any expectations for curse🤷 To be fair, Chime is a low offer based on current FMV
The recruiter didn't try to sell Cruise's equity growth. Besides, the offer is good enough that they don't need to.
I usually don't recommend Amazon, but in your case Amazon is the only level and package up offer. Take amzon or try other l6, like airbnb, pinterest, Uber, Instacart, etc
Isn’t AMZN L6 == Google L5?
Amzn l6 has a bigger scope and wider range. More like 5.5 - 6.5
Aaaah this number “1853579.975”. If only you could negotiate that up to 1853580.000
I can’t believe Amazon is paying so much for L6
Did you try to push for staff ?
Yes, I tried that at 10 companies. The other 5 won't offer at L6 equivalent and didn't bother to offer L5. Except for Amazon, these 4 are also L5 offers. Essentially, I failed all my 10 applications for staff.
Wait. Amazon is also L5 offer right (levels are off by 1 at Amazon)
I'm surprised indeed offers that good. Isn't it just a job search engine?
It’s for non tech jobs too, and it has international presence.
They are essential for a majority of jobs, like retail and F&B. More than 70% of jobs are found via Indeed.
