I have a few new grad SWE offers so far: Google: 120k base, 100k/4yr RSU, 20k signing Bloomberg: 142k base, 18k target bonus, 10k signing Yelp: 110k base, 120k/4yr RSU, 10k signing My product area at Google would be Google Product Infrastructure (not sure if this means anything). At Yelp I’d probably be on Core ML (the ML platform team). I don’t know anything about Bloomberg team. I interned at Yelp this summer and really liked it, and I think I would enjoy working there. Google seems like it would be a better name, but I’m worried the work wouldn’t be interesting. Any advice/comments, in particular from the standpoint of career growth/learning/interesting work?
Where's the poll? I was gonna say Google, but with that detail in mind, I think you are better off at Yelp
Where are you located? NY, Bay Area?
Bloomberg offer is for NY, Google Mountain View, Yelp SF
Lots of negotiation room with Google, your stocks can go up to $200k, and at least $50k signing too. For Bloomberg, new grad pay is amazing, WLB is great too. But pay won't keep up.
Pay won’t keep up for “meets expectations”. If you’re in the top 10%, you’ll have nothing to worry about.
Check out FB as well to bump up that Google offer
I'd go for Google/Yelp just to be in the epicenter of tech. Just out of curiosity, what kind of lifestyle does this salary afford in SF? Is a personal studio/1BR with daily takeout/delivery/eating out affordable?
As a new grad, you’d be much better off in the long term with Google in your pocket. It opens up a lot more options later in life.
Was Yelp completely non negotiable? I know they said you couldn't but did you try to bring it up with the Google offer? I interned at yelp too but still in the process for other offers.
Pretty sure Yelp will move up for a Google offer, as they/TripAdvisor are the only competition in their space.
An tips for preparation. I got my New Grad Google onsite in 20 days.
My best friend is a lifer at Bloomberg and loves it, but he's also a workaholic. He has nearly no life outside of work. My advice would be G but I never worked there. Don't go to yelp
Why not Yelp?
I thought Bloomberg would've been a standard 40h a week job
