Offers after multiple months of prep
SpaceX (TC 170) vs Robinhood (TC 225) vs ScaleAI (TC 190) for new grad What do you all think? In terms of priority for me: Career Growth + Learning opportunities -> Comp -> WLB -> Location. Heavily been leaning towards SpaceX since they have always been a dream company for a while since I am a huge space guy (not worried about lower comp, or WLB), but I have been grateful to receive these two other offers so I am definitely considering all three. Outside of SpaceX, Scale seems to also have horrible WLB but a *chance* to have higher stock upside. Robinhood seems to be really good all-around in terms of comp + growth & experience + WLB. #eng #engineering #software #spacex #scaleai #scale #robinhood #newgrad Edit: Any reasonings why or why not would be super helpful as well. Thank you all!
TC breakdown?
Out of all of those I would for sure take scale for the upside + having a youth led company
are u dumb read the review
I would take Lyft’s advice with a grain of salt, especially given how poorly their stock is performing. Seriously, scale has room to 10x. SpaceX and robinhood are growing at snails pace in comparison
I would go for SpaceX since it is what you are interested in robinhood is too risky now, lotsa bad propaganda and negative sentiment. PFOF ban is also on the table
SpaceX, although I'm biased. If you're interested in its mission, you won't be disappointed.
One thing to note is scale is the smallest. SpaceX has 10k employees, robinhood 1300 and Scale ~300. At spaceX, you’ll get work top down, don’t except to really have fast mobility. Robinhood is also a mid size to large tech company, so very similar deal. More internal structure. A lot of upside in mobility + growth is limited. You’ll have more linear growth in these companies (I.e. software Engineer 1 , software Eng 2 , software engineer 3, etc.) One thing about scale is the that your growth isn’t limited to your role. I’ve seen employees with less than 2 yr of exp becoming management because they created revenue outside of just doing their daily duties, striking deals with big customers, inventing new products etc. You can grow fast in different directions. Engineers can move in PM or Ops roles etc. The wlb is a problem, more specifically in ops. Yeah people work crazy hours, but are highly rewarded. Seen new grads with less than 1 yr of exp get promo. 190TC to 350TC. Can’t imagine what some of the people leading new products are earning. Your level of scope will be guaranteed to be larger at Scale. Feel free to DM to ask more about it.
Half is paper money tho...
It’s true. Lottery tickets. Same thing could have been said about robinhood 1 yr ago. Keep in mind, IPO isn’t the only liquidation event. The options do have value. But I think the growth + connections are highly valuable as well. It’s fairly common to interact with senior leadership and lots of opportunities to do so at Scale. They’re not easy, and will definitely not be good wlb opportunities, but they are excellent for growth. At robinhood and spaceX, you won’t be in meetings with the CTO as a new grad for ex. Scale you have a chance, but need to work for it.
I personally chose scale for the career growth and learning opportunities, it really is unmatched in terms of the amount of ownership you get right away
Which u went with OP?
dude read the scale ai reviews
