530 - 440 = 90

Amazon 285tc Mar 16, 2022

90k = ~65,000 mcchickens after taxes

Amazon 285tc Mar 16, 2022

Which is 23,205,000 calories

Why is there a doubt. More TC and liquid money. Also do you think Waymo is going public anytime soon.

Talking assistants suck.. I had an offer from Alexa shopping when I joined Google a couple of years ago.. nope don't see that future.. Alexa(one of the best assistants out there) having trouble just to switch on/off lights. Waymo all the way.. congratulations šŸ‘šŸŽ‰

Google CASm83 OP Mar 16, 2022

I feel the same. I can't really see how assistant would help daily lives.

I think alexa shopping has a shitty reputation as well in terms of culture

Waymo def has higher per hour rate.

Almost same situation here (deciding between Meta E5 and Waymo E5). Heard there was a lot of leadership changes at Waymo in the past year or two. Is it still a good time to join?

I'm curious, is waymo onsite only? Or are there remote software jobs

They seem to be pushing hard for onsite. But I don't work there it's probably possible

are 200k+ signing bonuses common at that level? thatā€™s absolutely crazy

Google JimKerrig Mar 16, 2022

Thatā€™s because Amazon equity is heavily back loaded. Without massive cash bonus on year 1 and 2, TC would be ridiculously low.

VMware lmaoo gg Mar 16, 2022

Whatā€™s the preferred price TC at WM? YOE?

Google CASm83 OP Mar 16, 2022

rumor says you can times 2.2x, so it's 200k + 15% + 160k*2.2 + 50k = 630k

Microsoft filk23 Mar 16, 2022

Congratulations. Can you share Waymo interview experience?

Google CASm83 OP Mar 16, 2022
