Question about women in their 30’s?
Received a few offers and need some advices, thanks! 3.5YOE I personally am thinking about joining Square. Love the engineering culture and remote policy there. However, would love to hear more ideas, especially from someone who is working or has worked at any of these companies! I would really appreciate it. As for the TC, I just got two verbal offers today. Still negotiating with Square, SoFi, and Coupang, so don’t have the finalized number yet, based on the rough number that HR provided: Coupang > Square(more stock) == SoFi (more cash). Some personal complaints about Apple: Was not comfortable negotiating with the HR at AI/ML team during the whole process - My feedback was all good. She kept pushing me to give her all the numbers I have with the proof, and then offered me a pretty low-balled number with no space for improvement. Seems like the team has a budget limit on this opening. Anyways, this terrible experience with recruiter makes me feel like Apple is not worth joining. TikTok offers a really good package with high ratio of cash, but I’m worried about the WLB and my career growth there. Bloomberg has the best job security, also love the matched team and company culture there. They offered me a 260k TC with 40k sign-on, which seems to be the best offer that they could give for such YOE, still lower than the other offers tho, not to mentioned that they’re required to go back to office 2-3 days per week, while I’m located at the west coast.
What are ur tiktok and square offers?
TikTok TC ~ 340k, Square HR mentioned that should be something like 180k base + 580k/4 RSU + 8-10k signon
What level at square?
Square is a lifestyle company these days
That is great to hear 😊
Is your square offer for cashapp or square or block?
Still talking to several teams and haven’t decided yet, might go to a cashapp team. Any suggestions on team selection?
I have friends at Square, and there is too much autonomy to each team which comes with pros/cons. Square is not going 2x or 3x soon. I am a fan, but I think they are highly valued even after correction. IMO, SoFi is the best time to join at this stock price, easily 3x or 4x in 3-4 years. See SoFi plus, banking charter, 56% yoy growth in recession wow! And we are just getting started. DM me for any questions.
@enzineer- How is SoFi different from Lending club/Prosper and other lending companies out there ?
To understand that you have to understand FSPL(you can google), lending companies target one sector “lending”, to succeed in financial sector- the firm needs to be able to switch gears and pivot. Like when rates are high lend with your own deposit, when housing market is booking Mortgage lending is winning, or Invest or Credit card. SoFi is one stop shop for all the financial needs unlike “one” sector based companies.
I’m biased but 100% Square. I love it here, great culture, profitable, great products and solutions. No drama, never experienced toxicity, and very mature org with top notch talent. Again, of course I’m biased - just my 2 cents.
Let me guess, you joined last month?
6 months. Again, this is subjective, everyone has a different experience, maybe mine changes in the future
I'd go for Square. I've been at several FAANG companies before, and I'm very happy here. My career growth has been the fastest of any company I've worked for, WLB is healthy and the company knows what it's doing when it comes to remote work, and we're in a healthy position to eat up some of the market during this downturn.
Do you think there will be any hiring freeze through 2023? I am in team matching, hoping to find an L4 spot :(
We will slow down hiring, no freezes yet.
@OP: can you give TC breakdown + level by company? can give specifics on whether SoFi offer is good. also location?
I would advise to not come to Square. It’s chaotic dysfunctional place where it’s impossible to get anything meaningful done due to disengaged leadership. Attrition is all time high (comp crash) so lots of new people who don’t know how to get shit done. People who love to rest and vest love this company hence would see a lot of ex googler or recovering ex amazonians.
Do you know how the headcount situation will be come 2023?
Looking grim
Is coupang not remote?
Coupang is fully remote
