Things are pretty slow at Fidelity. I work at SLC Utah. I have a job offer from Sofi for the same city. Current TC - 125k for first year, 140 K from second year Sofi TC - 195 K(140 K Base, 15% Bonus, 150 K RSU ). The job is Senior Engineer at both Fidelity and Sofi. Fidelity is slow but a stable job , not sure if Market goes South will Sofi have layoffs ? Stressed out completely thinking about it. Your comments and poll answer would be appreciated!! Guys @Sofi please help.
Apply for remote jobs and you should be able to land mid 200s even in Utah
YOE?
YOE 7 This is my first year even in Fidelity.
Imo you should contiue applying for FAANG/Unicorns while having SoFi as a backup
Why is even this a question? Go with the higher TC
What is the 401K match policy for Fidelity employees?
No first year match 7% match after 1st year. increase by 1% yearly till 15% max
That’s really good. Intel only matches 5% 😕
I know what you speak of stability in job. I come from similar mindset. Here’s my 2 cents: Lack of stability is a thought that partly comes from lack of skill or ability to keep skill inline with market needs. This knowledge comes from personal experience and seeing numerous people in similar position and helped a few get out from that rut. Todays world is a fast paced market where you sell yourself and move on when things aren’t right. If you are reasonably skilled there are jobs out there. Now the problem with this is, considering the cushy gig in addition to doubt in skill, ability to grow also becomes very limited pushing you to lower thresholds in the competitive market. I’d say pick the job where you can see growth and a reasonable balance.
Thanks for the response 👍
I am not against the idea of leaving a big gushy job, but there are Fintech companies that have better engineering culture and outlook than SoFi.
Like?
Go to sofi, learn and grow. Sofi stocks might do well in long run
Negotiate with SoFi for a better offer
Sofi sucks afaik. Dont know about fidelity to compare though, might be better than fid
