Location: All offers in Seattle Level: E4/L4 Job: SDE Yoe: 3, MS. Current TC: 205k SDE2 Decision making criteria in order: 1. Career growth / interests 2. TC 3. Green Card Policy (PD approaching, prefer batch perm) 4. WLB. Snap (non-negotiable, calculate avg TC for first three years): 366k/year not include bonus TikTok (final): calculate avg TC for first two years: 352k/year include bonus If we do calculation across 4 years, it becomes 334K/years Google (final, calculate avg TC for first two years): calculate avg TC for first two years: 334k/year include bonus If we do calculation across 4 years, it becomes 292K/years FB (final, calculate avg TC for first two years): calculate avg TC for first two years: 315k/year include bonus If we do calculation across 4 years, it becomes 298K/years Airbnb (final, calculate avg TC for first two years): calculate avg TC for first two years: 320k/year include bonus If we do calculation across 4 years, it becomes 315K/years Others declined: DoorDash, Compass. Personally, prefer Snap as highest TC, most interesting team, higher level( = E4.5 in other company) and batch perm(want to confirm), but recruiter said initial offer is final offer, no room for negotiation. Is there any way to further increase that number as I saw some other DPs with 180k base and 60k sign-on. #engineering #offer
Congrats. I’d say google for wlb since tc diff isn’t that significant compared to snap. Do G for 2 yrs at L4 then go for senior roles
That's true, but I calculated TCs across first 2 years. If we do that for 4 years avg, due to Google front load, TC becomes 298k/years.
Yeah. I guess it depends on whether you wanna interview again in 2 years or not. I think you’d just be on the cusp of L5 roles at that point. Snap I think is close second imo. On levels it seems like median snap l4 is closer to 390. If that was the case I think it would be easier to call
If you choose snap, would you stay for more than 3 years? Because of non stacking refreshers, it's hard to just base TC on hard numbers.
Wow grats on the offers! I'm literally you right now at Amazon with same TC 😭. Need to LC and GTFO
TikTok will offer the most career growth and TC. We have many immigrants here so the company is immigrant friendly. Stock appreciation potential is high, but riskier than a traditional startup because of geopolitics (see Didi.) WLB is generally poor.
Hi congrats on your offers! Would you mind sharing your prep for coding and sys. design? Were most of your coding questions medium difficulty? Thank you in advance.
GOOG 70K joining is unheard of. Doesn’t mean you have to join but wanted to put it out there
Fb for fast promotion and team selection since you listed these as priority 1.

congrats! Snap is a weird one, my buddy went there & his RSU was up ~10x at one point, not sure now. How much of a gambler is u? lol
GOOG is more stable as it tries to diversify its product offerings, while Snap is social/ads mostly. Had you make this choice one year ago, your Google TC would be higher today because of the stonks performance. More options for internal mobility at Google as well. Congrats on the offers!
