Honestly considering Meta for the career growth, stock upside, and pretty solid year 1 pay. Would love to hear people's thoughts especially if you work at Meta/Nuro/Plaid!

Wow. Truly a run away inflation problem in this country
This offer is just 20k lesser than my current L63 TC, its like this 🤏 close May be time to interview
Yep, time to interview definitely. I just doubled my TC after just 2.5 years at Amazon.
That's a pretty awesome new grad offer considering Google's normal offers. I had to choose between Google and Meta recently. Personally, if you want to chase your career and get promotions / raises, go Meta! If you want to chill, go Google!
Doesn’t seem super uncommon anymore for L3. I got a similar offer with 1 YOE
I'd go for Meta for the promotions and stock, if you're not that worried about WLB. Otherwise, Google. Especially since it's your first job, one of those two names is going to be helpful in the future.
Meta it is for new grads, Google if you have few years of experience
go to google. Lot's more respect in that name. But go to nuro/plaid if you want to move up the ladder quickly and work really hard
If you're into robotics and autonomous systems, go to Nuro. If infrastructure, then go for Google or Meta.
I can’t see myself ever working for a company that derives a significant portion of its revenue from selling its own user as a product to third parties. But if I were fine with that, I’d choose G over FB any day of the week. As for pre-IPO companies, something tells me they’d delay (if necessary) any public debut until they could fetch above their most recent round’s valuation if at all possible. But if you’re joining a private company, you already shouldn’t be expecting immediate liquidity on the equity anyway…
What do you think about OP’s concern about Plaid’s valuation, think it’s unfounded?
Yeah right... "Plaid Inc has agreed to pay $58 million to resolve consumers' claims that the financial technology company obtained and used bank account credentials and financial information without consent." https://www.reuters.com/legal/litigation/fintech-firm-plaid-agrees-58-mln-deal-end-privacy-case-2021-08-06/
Wtf are these new grad offers
