Backend role
That’s a great offer. I didn’t know Squarespace pays well. Congrats 🍾
Me either
Can you share some tips for intwrviews with them? Leetcode?
No phone screen for me. Spoke to the recruiter and setup final round interviews. Round 1: system design. (DDIA, Groking) Round 2: Behavioral Round 3: Coding (LC Medium). Round 4: OOP. You don’t need to design / model. Given a project, discuss design patterns, concurrency. Like a code review.
Why no phone screen?🤔
This is definitely great offer for SSE1, never seen this high offer actually
Hey Squarespace can I dm for referral?
Congrats! Any tips for negotiating the signing bonus? How does the RSU/stock negotiation typically go?
They matched Amazon’s offer, which came as a positive surprise. I was convinced Squarespace won’t match.
That’s a good offer, sqsp has a lot of room for growth
Seems promising. I’m joining in the new year!
Microsoft to Squarespace? Why? Your 175 TC at Microsoft after 5 YOE?
Yep! Microsoft pays peanuts. Compensation boost + WLB + Remote.
MSFT pays peanuts with no competing offer... I was offered 205k for 1.5 YOE in east coast which is good bc i had offers
Was your sign on bonus split between two years?
what about yearly bonus ?
