Afrm is remote first if that matters to you.
Huge lowball for L6
RIP. At least base is low due to MCOL. Recruiter said it would map to 170 in CA.
I've seen MCOL L6 offers for mid/upper 300s TC
How was the interview with happy returns? I just cleared the hacker rank round. Planning to schedule 30 mins phone interview.
Extremely well organized process. I had the HackerRank then a single day onsite with a mix of behavioral (EM, PM, QA) and technical (LC, OA review, sys design) rounds. Got results back the next day.
Great. LC level is easy or medium? Any suggestions for my interview preparation?
Affirm stock is overpriced and will fall if they don’t meet the lofty growth numbers which are already baked into the stock price
Ahh another self claimed financial expert.. I guess Tesla’s valuation is justified for being a trillion dollar company, ain’t it Mr. cheap buffet? There’s a reason why tons of companies are labeled as growth company, not just affirm alone.
Growth companies are on a downward slide already. Their valuations have skyrocketed so much that any quarter with not so stellar results will beat up the stock. This is true of any growth stock not just Affirm.
Paypal stock underpriced, good time to join us
But the company is boring, Affirm could be better for growth
That’s a good San Jose offer for MTS2, if you are remote at a MCOL city, just take it. Also stock is low now and potential seems good
Affirm
PayPal
lol
5 years and MTS2 is rare
Yeah super surprised on that too.
It sounds too good to be true.
Come on OP, this should not be up for discussion. Affirm. Choose High quality, higher risk, higher reward. Any quality talent that PayPal had in the last 3 years must have left by now. - ex PayPal.
Affirm is a no brainer choice given their growth prospects. PayPal is a retirement company.
Agreed on Affirm potential. Worth noting Happy Returns team is growing 2x or 3x to scale the product post-acquisition.
