I hear gusto really underpays, even if you account for low COL

Walmart bes08 Mar 18, 2020

I've heard gusto's culture is awful, my roommate worked there as an analyst and hated it.

I conquer gusto is a sweat shop and I rejected their offer after talking to an ex employee

The difference I found is to spam your LinkedIn profile with keywords, so you appear in as many recruiter searches as possible. Then do this list of questions: https://www.teamblind.com/article/New-Year-Gift---Curated-List-of-Top-75-LeetCode-Questions-to-Save-Your-Time-OaM1orEU

Treat Amazon as your mock interview

Oracle pzd Mar 6, 2020

Definitely don't skip wepay. Their offers are all cash and very good.

Compass someguy851 OP Mar 6, 2020

Thanks - yeah I'm pretty sure I'm not skipping them

My friend has internship offers from visa and wepay for SDE ML. Visa is paying slightly more the internship. Should she go to wepay for a better prospective full time offer?

How do you have time to be interviewing with that many companies at once

Compass someguy851 OP Mar 6, 2020

This is the result of several months' of effort: 3-5 phone screens a week with ~90% success rate

Compass someguy851 OP Mar 6, 2020

Also do you recommend Jet/whatever you guys are now? Might be interviewing with you/your colleagues soon

Databricks Taterbrisc Mar 6, 2020

Definitely don't skip Databricks.

Oracle pzd Mar 6, 2020

Any reason in particular?

Compass someguy851 OP Mar 6, 2020

Thanks - can you please share why?

Amazon readme.q Mar 6, 2020

At your yoe literally almost no one on that list will pay you 300k

Oracle pzd Mar 6, 2020

I think if you discount the value of compass paper money, pay will be on par

Compass someguy851 OP Mar 6, 2020

Thanks for the insight - I agree with Oracle that I should discount my illiquid equity. Risky at this point

Indeed rainwater Mar 7, 2020

I'd skip Walmart, Gusto, and Instacart. Seem like low tc places and tech isn't so great either.

Compass someguy851 OP Mar 7, 2020

Thanks, you're probably right. I don't live in the Bay so I'm a bit more lax these days about tech requirements these days. I would love to work at Indeed for instance, but felt Austin wasn't a good fit for my lifestyle.

Have you considered our fruit company?

Compass someguy851 OP Mar 7, 2020

I have - are you offering to refer? In particular I'm interested in Apple Pay :)

Amazon WVAl42 Mar 8, 2020

Why leave Compass?

Compass someguy851 OP Mar 9, 2020

Meh
