I am curious to know how do people choose one offer over the other. What factors do you consider if you have offers from Uber, Lyft, Google, Facebook and Airbnb? I am more curious to know this from Bay Area folks.
Where is commute time?
I would put that into work life balance to keep the selection list short.
This is turning out to be quite interesting. I thought title or level offered will matter to more people while making a choice, but looks like that is not the case.
Titles and levels vary a lot across companies and matter little in the long term. You'll see a ton of people in the Bay Area who have been VP of something or the other at smaller companies over the last 10 years and have nothing to show for it while you see a Software Engineer or a Product Manager at G/FB pulling $1M/year.
Please. You can make my title “junior janitor” or something if you give me a job with 500k TC, interesting work, and good wlb.
Missing option: Likelihood of getting 🔥d
Lol! True when you work at Amazon.
Also future growth-Your tc can grow far more significantly at pre ipo then established players. Having spent some time at the big guys , I am personally looking to take on more risk.
I hear you. Taking calculated risks go a long way.
You're asking on blind. The obvious answer is TC.
I expected TC to be the number 1 criteria but wanted to see what all goes in making an overall decision. Obviously there is more than one factor while deciding between multiple offers.
