Is "From the River to the Sea" So Wrong?
#tech #tiktok #bytedance #seattle #offer TikTok is 5 days/week in office in Seattle, I live like 40 minutes away. No idea how progression works in TikTok, no one seems to know. 10-12 hour days seem common. DHS is remote, recession proof, promotions and raises plentiful, benefits are great. Total TC will stall in a couple years but I have exit opportunities. 40 hours a week and done. Current TC = 110k + Remote Physical Stats = About 6’2”, 190lbs, 9 or 10% body fat. Bench = 275 for 2 reps Squat = 350 for about 3 Deadlift = 410 for 1
Offer too low to give up remote benefits. What's years of experience? If >5 years shoot for at least 200k.
Two years of experience
I recently passed on a tiktok offer and took a $37K paycut to stay remote, not move cross country and have a more senior title. No regrets
progression is limited at tiktok. if you’re not chinese, forget about it. the offer isn’t great and not worth the RTO. and tiktok RSUs are worthless
Thanks for this
DHS all the way. You're guaranteed salary increases as a GS whatever. Capped at 40 hours/week and if you go over either OT or extra time off. Remote means Saving money entirely. Pension as well as once you're past probation you're generally unfireable.
Yessir; thanks.
Hey OP! I have a secret clearance and experience at a FAANG and consulting. I’d love to stay remote. I have yet to look at DHS roles but I have a couple of questions: do you have higher clearance and does your job title have “program manager” in it?
Stick to DHS and apply for MST or Oracle or any other company where there are role that needs security clearance. You will clear north of 200k and eventually north of 500k.
I only have 2 yoe, so I’ll give it a minute before going that route. That’s generally what I was hoping for anyway; getting into some contractor work. Thanks
You can either play the long game or the short game. A lot of folks build life on unsustainable TC growth projections. One blip and most of them start unraveling into a financial nightmare. What you have a ticket to stability. Make your choices, FANG comes with its own demons. Good luck with your future!
