Slack
Why?
Because we are awesome coworkers
Iβd say Slack
Why?
Etsy WLB is pretty great but cannot speak on Slack. I would ask more questions to both companies and then make a decision. No one here knows what you want out of your next job as much as you do.
Seconded what @^$ said. WLB @ Etsy is pretty great, but know people who are at Slack as well and love it. Other things to consider: - do you want to work on a consumer-facing or business-facing product? @Etsy lots of work is user-focused and centered around experimentation, if that's something you like u can get lots of visibility for it (not to mention satisfaction re moving the needle for your team & users) - culture: what team will you work on, who will your manager be, just overall where can you see yourself being most successful? Oftentimes success in a company is more a factor of who you work w, esp if TC is close. Will say that at Etsy there is a strong culture of awesome people, feel free to DM w any Qs :)
Thanks for the response. Honestly, if Etsy had unlimited (and encouraged) pto, I think Iβd be all for it. I just canβt come to terms with only 20pto (yes, on top of 11 holidays)
11 holidays and 7 other company-wide days off, plus company-wide highly-encouraged-no-meeting days. "Unlimited sick" as well in the sense that it's not accrued but they expect folks to take no more than 8-10 sick days a year. So overall pretty good IMO. I transitioned to Etsy limited pto from an unlimited environment and had similar concerns, but so far I've been happy. the company-wide time off makes it extra sweet since you don't need to catch up on anything when you come back.
Have offers? Numbers?
Not yet but know some people who did. Etsy $280k tc Slack $300k tc
