I’m so confused any help would be appreciated it. I have a full time offer from disney in their disney streaming product as a SFA. Im also trying tk get meta/google and speaking with few managers there. Im not in the official interview process. Should I decline disney or is it better to take it in case i dont get the other one. I am jumping up in title, pay is $103k annually and one time sign on bonus of $10k. #finance #financialanalyst #google #facebook #meta #joboffer #SFA #seniorfinancialanalyst #googlebrain #interview #corpfinance #finance #fpa #interview #finance
Accept Disney and continue interviewing for Meta/Google. If you end up getting the offer, then politely let Disney know. Note: you probably will be blacklisted from Disney from future opportunities if you do this.
thank you! i just hate to do that and be blacklisted and have myself looked down upon.
would you care? getting into meta/google you open limitless opportunities one blacklist won't mean a thing
YOE 3 location NYC
Is the $103 in NYC? 😶
I would assume so. I heard Disney doesn’t pay well.
Yikes. Houston, TX pays better 🙈
I'm pretty sure you can get better at 3 YOE and SFA level. Did you negotiate at all? Also consider adtech vs saas media, in the long term what field would you rather be in, imo ssas media altho the pay might be lower now. Like other commentator said, if you are very interested in google/meta, I'd still interview after accepting Disney offer. It's not the best thing to be blacklisted but you can definitely do it without ruining relations. Money and career space are big factors and you could make your case on that it whatever really draws you over.
Yup i tried very hard to negotiate and thats the best they could do. I just hate being blacklisted because you never know what life throws at you down the lane. companies do know its very competitive out theres so maybe idk
thank you for your response!!!
The pay seems low for a SFA
thats what i though ahhhh! they wont negotiate at all
Amazon paying mid $170’s for SFA
Dang, that's poverty levels here in NYC. Honestly, just become a doorman somewhere, and use the extra downtime to leetcode and get a better offer somewhere else. That's offer is just trash. My honest advice: Take it, start leetcoding and apply to better companies. Leave when you have a better one. Disney is not a good company to work for, and they treat their engineers like disposable trash, so don't feel bad at all about it. There are much better companies to work for out there.

As someone who was a SFA at Disney I would highly advise against working there. This was pre Covid as well.
I had an Amazon SFA offer I turned down with TC of $180 in yr 1-2 and then dropped to $170 yr 3-4 with 7 YOE
Coming from another FP&A professional who just made the jump to Google. I ask you this: Is your current role bad enough to force a decision to a company you don’t think is at your maximum potential? Is Google/ Meta your first choice? See how far you can delay your start with Disney to buy time. Use that time to get your interviews under way with Google/ Meta. I know it seems like you need to move fast, but keep in mind this decision is going to shape the next 2-5 years of your life. Be patient and wait for the right opportunity if you can/ if you believe you’re qualified because you will be so much happier in the end. Feel free to DM me, happy to share my insights on the Google process/ Finance job search as I just went through it all.
Hey GoogleDeez, I am having a google SFA interview next week, May I DM you for some tips?

Are tech workers as rich as they think we are?
so you wanna turn down an offer for non existent offers that you're not even in the interview process for? step back and rethink this again
non existent but has potential and down the lane if i do get one of those (which i really do want) im going to regret but you’re right i could not get those offers and the be left with nothing
would you rather be left with nothing or be a in a spot where you have to leave Disney after just joining?
