Hi, I'm a new grad and a few months ago I accepted a job offer from Yahoo, which was the only offer I had at the time. However, I have recently received an offer from TikTok and I'm feeling conflicted about whether I should stay at Yahoo or join TikTok. I have compiled a list of pros and cons for each option and I'm hoping to get some advice. Yahoo Pros: 1. Excellent WLB 2. Supportive and kind team members 3. Fully remote (Although I would prefer to go to the office 2-3 days a week) 4. More stable? Cons: 1. Lower salary 2. Limited opportunities for technical skill growth, primarily focused on service maintenance and cloud migration 3. Three-year cliff vesting schedule for 401k (I don't plan on staying for 3 years) Tiktok Pros: 1. Higher TC (about $40k more) 2. Fancy tech stack and interesting projects 3. Better brand 4. Day1 green card? (not sure) Cons: 1. Potentially risky due to politics(I'm under OPT) 2. Poor WLB #newgrad #tiktok #yahoo #offerevaluation
GC Day 1 only if you have an H1B, or a PhD.
Thanks for the info!
How does this work?
Youāre a new grad I donāt recommend choosing WLB because you can always go for WLB later in your career when you have other priorities in your life
Excellent WLB and and kind team members is extremely underrated.
That's true. But as a new grad, I really worry about career growth.
Why? It comes down to how much you push yourself.
40k more is nothing WLB all the way
I mainly do ops now š„¹. I'm afraid it will be a career suicide.
It's hard to grow in TikTok.
Can you share more details?
It's just more rare to get promoted here than at other companies. That is unless you speak Chinese.
As a new grad, I know that the only thing that'd matter to me is career growth and an increase in TC.
40k is not worth the stress. Any chance moving internally?
It's hard to change team internally
Yahoo is not dead yet?
Really depends if you are Chinese
