Square vs GitHub Entry Level SWE
Both fully remote positions in Ohio Square: $84k base salary, $5k sign on bonus, $80k stock over 4 years, benefits worth ~$9k/yr. After 1 year total comp including benefits ~$109k GitHub: $101k base salary, $20k sign on bonus, $32k Microsoft stock over 4 years, annual bonus worth 10-20% annual salary and additional annual bonus worth $4-8k Microsoft stock, benefits worth ~$17k/yr. After 1 year total comp including benefits ~$143k Leaning towards GitHub b/c passionate about both companies and feel like both companies are similar caliber and good exit opportunities if wanted and GitHub pays ~30% more. But this app seems to love Square and the culture there etc. Where should I choose and why? #Square #GitHub #Block #Microsoft #Tech #SWE #newgrad #entrylevel
How was the interview process for both, what level leetcode questions did they ask?
Github was less leetcode more project type questions and Square was more paired programming I guess medium ish leetcode level
Go to Github for TC Good place to work
Go GitHub! WLB is unmatched
Block is great, but not worth a 30% comp difference. GitHub will also have much more stable stock (Microsoft). Seems like an easy choice.
GitHub is top tier place to work. The day I leave I will regret. Congrats on the new grad offer 👏
being at square now, i'd say go to github in a heartbeat. jack is a bozo
Can you use Github offer to negotiate more for Square?
OP: just want to make sure someone has told you this since you're entry level: always negotiate!!
Initial offers (especially at square it seems) leave room for negotiation. It's expected
