Equity?
Don't do it without any equity
The interviews I’m doing right now are purely for FAANG preparation, getting more comfortable doing interviews for practice. I’m declining these offers. No equity is given at Sony. From what I understood its only given to executives. The double bonus is interesting, I’ve never seen that before so that helps a bit with offsetting missing equity. But it’s still not a strong enough offer.
So you can get upto 35% bonus?
Yes. For example they told me they’ve done full payouts for the past 5 years. That’s TC $229,500
I’m in HW at Sony and don’t get nearly that much. SW is where it’s at!
Is it with Sony PlayStation or Sony electronics ?
Part of the PlayStation group
