Hello blinders, I have a decision to make, and wanted your input. I have an offer from Tesla, but as you know they just had a round of layoffs. Should I still join? I know it’s risky, but I do have some reasons for wanting to join. Reasons to join: 1- money, getting %30 raise 2- work aligns me with better opportunities in the future 3- not happy with current job, team sucks and ancient tech 4- trying to save to buy a house #engineering #tesla
Don’t join
Don’t join. Esp if u r on a visa
Not on visa
TC or GTFO
This.
TC or GTFO is a neglected phrase. Use it today. Op, TC or GTFO.
Don't join. It's run by an utter asshole.
Don’t join. Your offer probably isn’t valid anymore anyways
It’s still valid
You will be joining when company and markets are in a volatile situation. People and teams are so demoralized too. Right now would not be a very good time. But up to you and how desperate you are.
Only plus would be a really good strike price on equity. If you survive long enough, you will be rich
Would you take cash or RSUs given the market?
We all prioritize money over everything else. Join only if you have a backup in mind. Buying a house? Make sure your partner has a secure job. We had layoffs in 2022 now 2024. Trend will continue. Also, you will have to be on top of your performance game and regardless be seen and heard in your team. Be ready for heavy work load and long working hours. Hope you get a great team and a good manager! Ask your new manager how your team was impacted. And DO NOT buy a Tesla if until you are atleast 3-4 years in your job.
Curious, why not buy a Tesla until 3-4 years?
Ask for delay in joining then observe and make a decision. Only time will tell.
If not on Visa and no need to prioritize job security, then join.
