Hi All, I am currently working at amazon as an L5 SDE. I recently got a couple of offers from square, doordash, oracle and completed interview with Google a month ago (waiting because of hiring freeze guidance per recuriter). Please help me choose a company. I am on a visa and I am mostly concerned with potential layoffs with square and door dash. TC: Amazon - 250 k (after stock drop - TT this year), next year projected (290 k ) Doordash - 320 k (L4) Square - 350 k (L5) Oracle - 270 k ( IC3) - I rejected it YOE- 5.5 (3.5 at Amazon) Square (L5) Pros: - I like the team and the company in general - Better WLB - comp increase - Stock upside - Remote Cons - Old tech stack (ruby) - Potenital layoff? - Stock downside? - Not sure how comparable is square to amazon wrt future job opportunities Doordash (L4) Pros - Fast paced work, so room for technical growth Cons - Bad WLB - Potenital layoff? - stock downside? Amazon (L5) Pros - Good rapport with the team - Good WLB - On track to become L6 by Q2 next year - Job stability Cons - Comp - Bored of doing similar work - Risk of promo not going through Location: Seattle #square
That square offer is really good, but do you have any idea which org at DoorDash your offer is from? My WLB has been really good with the company tbh
Do you mind me asking which teams in doordash have better wlb?
Also very curious
I would recommend Square if you value WLB. And is there a reason you are seeing a potential layoff ?
Worried about a recession and it's influence on growth companies especially a fin tech company like square.
Even though I hate ruby, I’d do Square
If you are on track to be L6 by Q2 next year, why not wait till you get promoted and then make the switch?
only problem is if OP renegotiate now and get a higher salary, he won’t get a comp increase for promo late since he’ll be above band.
What's your location??
Seattle
your location please?
Did you compete?
You know the square team uses ruby?
The manager of the team told me during team match.
Gotcha. What org is it?

Just go with Square. No brainer. You can switch team there as well.
