I have offers from NVidia (Infra team) and Twilio (Big Data team). Comp from Nvidia: $153K base, $240K stocks (vests in 4 years), $10K sign on, NO YEARLY BONUS which makes it to $213K TC excluding sign on Comp from Twilio: $155K base, $160K stocks (vests in 4 years), $15K sign on, 10% yearly bonus which makes it to $210K TC excluding sign on I have pit both companies against each other and there is no scope for anymore negotiation. YOE: 5 years Location: Austin for both Current TC: $170K - Which company should I opt for? Both companies are performing extremely good in their space and hence I’m getting confused. - I really like the Twilio position considering the stack they are using. Lots of learning involved. - With Nvidia, there will be lots of learning too considering I don’t have any experience in the Infra side of the things. Also, how much refreshers do people get at Nvidia and Twilio? #engineering #software #nvidia #twilio
Location for the offers?
Austin for both of them.
Twilio. Depending on your background and interests - but typically Big data >> Infra as I see it . Will open up lots more possibilities for you in the future.
What about Big Data Infra?
Does Twilio has swe jobs in Austin? Heard its only solution engineering.
My team is in SF but I’ll be working remotely
NV infra is garbage.
Agree, don't waste your time on infra here ...
Hi, can I please dm you guys? Need some info about the infra teams at Nvidia
Twilio doesn't have annual bonus, troll
Same, otherwise I need to talk to my boss or HR
Haha, even I was thinking to go talk my manager how is this possible.
I’d say NVIDIA. I have a couple of friends that were at Twilio but moved over to NVIDIA, and they’ve said that the learning, responsibilities, culture, AND the pay is definitely better than at Twilio. Both of them are currently working in Data and Infra orgs at NVIDIA. I myself am in the Data org and so far it’s been an amazing experience. I was at LinkedIn and FB before.
Btw, I also feel you’re getting lowballed by NVIDIA here. I’m a New Grad with 2 YoE, and my base, stocks, and signing was way higher. In the Bay, though.
Way higher is how much. The number is already very good for IC2.
Nvidia will grow stockwise nit so sure about twilio. Infra could be not the sexiest team though
Vouching for Twilio here, but if you want challenge and opportunity it's the place to be. Some will say "it's not the same as it used to be" but obviously because we're not a startup anymore. The Gen1 products are in demand now more than ever while Gen2 products continue to claim market share from old on-prem tech and Gen3 (big data) is under development. Developers still love the platform and we've only scratched the surface with enterprise customers. Lots of respect for Nvidia, but even if both jobs were with them wouldn't you choose big data over infra anyways?
Gen1 = SMS, Gen2 = Flex, Gen3 = ?
Nvidia Infra isn't at all industry standard, they don't use any state of the art stuff. Upside is Possible to make a big impact. Downside is it will suck ass and you will be frustrated with outdated tech and manual work. Twilio team sounds good and a lot more scope for the future with big Data
