My friend graduated from Masters and received 2 offers, one from Credit Karma and one from Cornerstone OnDemand. Credit Karma - Software Engineer location: Charlotte, NC The company is not yet public so stocks are hidden assets. Cornerstone - Associate Software Engineer location: Los Angeles, CA Package: both have same package. (around 140k) Yes LA is very expensive but that company is offering real stocks.(cornerstone) Suggestions or opinions? Thank you
140k In Charlotte is an incredible offer
Yes base plus shares (excluding bonus)
Your friend will live quite comfortably in Charlotte
You need to break down TC as Base RSU Bonus
Package is good in CK but LA is very expensive with good career options right ?
Charlotte all the way! He can use that as a base package? to do next jump with significant tc gain
Can’t speak for Credit Karma but Cornerstone is a good place for a Jr dev. Lots of dev days, opportunity to grown FAST, and a promotion culture that will boost her quickly if performance is satisfactory. Also, it’s LA. Cmon
CK in Charlotte is the shit. You'll love it and you'll be making waaaay more that the same salary in LA. From what I hear, the office is expanding in a few months too.
140K in Charlotte?
Not base.. but total package..base plus shares.. but shares are not public yet. ck is in pre ipo still
What's the base? It's hard to validate without base
