Received offer for SDE II position at Twitter and SWE L3 at Google, both in Seattle. Twitter offers around 160K base, 15% bonus, and around $70K worth of stocks annually. I am still in team matching phase so no numbers yet from Google. Given the level placement and the strong number I am leaning towards Twitter but would like to get more inputs. Also, what is the likelihood that Google will match/beat the offer? YOE: 2.5
Google won’t match twitter
You’re still in your early days in your career so I suggest level over company
Keep in mind that twitter refreshers suck. They only give out serious refreshers if you’re nearing ur 4 year cliff or if u exceed expectations/get promoted, not if u only meet expectations. Unlike amazon, they also don’t give out larger refreshers if ur unvested amount goes down due to a stock price decrease. But choose twitter for the higher level.
Thanks!
No way goog L3 will get 255k TC
How was the interview experience with Twitter? How was the phone interview? What kind of questions did they ask?
Interview experience is one of the best I've ever had
Can you please elaborate? Did the phone interview involve as usual DS & algo questions? Or did you have to do a project?
My L4 offer at google was 250k TC in Boston area and I did get big time downlevelled lol. I didnt have any competing offers and rejected the google offer to see if they will do L5 but they did not .
If you did well on the interviews, very likely!
