Which Bu in cisco? I would choose Pure Storage as the work is pretty good i heard. Zscaler might have better $ tho
Actually zscaler is not paying much. BC is less than what I am getting at Cisco right now. I am just relying on Zscaler's stock. For Pure, BC is really good but then it's stock is a dead weight.
Yeah exactly. Stock could be a deciding factor. Which BU at cisco? And what type of work are u doing in the new companies. That could be something to consider if $ is hard to decide on
At Zscaler it would be a kind of NOC profile, at Pure it would be a DevTest position, more like DevOps, but no cloud.
U can also talk to people on your future team to help u finalize. This is if u want good teammembers.
Pure is a good company to work for, but I agree with you the stock is dead. Don’t expect to be a tech millionaire here.
Devtest has limited scope, I’d like to add
Oh really?? But I can always move to another team if I don't like the work right?
VMware stock moving slightly down for almost 2 years
My 2c: go where you felt the best "connection". Work will take a significant portion of your time, and you'll spend almost as much time with your colleagues as your family (or eve more). Don't try to predict the future stock price for this decision - If you can do that with any degree of confidence, you don't need to be in a 9-5 job anyways
Only from employees of Pure Storage will your hear bullshit like don't worry about the future stock price because we know it isn't going anywhere.
Can't speak for others... I can only clarify what I think. My expectations are that PSTG will keep meandering in the current range. I never had any illusion otherwise when I joined. I have no opinion on other stocks :)
If you could not join the pure storage before 09/15, your vesting day would be 12/20. And the company might fire you just in the end of November.
Why would they fire you end of November?
Just don’t go vmw
Are you going to update us and let your Blind friends know which company you joined? PSTG have been going up to my surprise.
Haha. The recent stock price jump surprised me too. I never had any doubt that Pure will stabilize to revenue growth of 20-25% for a few more years, but I didn't think that would translate to stock price increase
Pure manipulation.
Yoe?
