Hello, I am IC3 at Yelp currently working on an interesting team (Ads). Based in London. TC is satisfactory ~£150k. I've got a new offer to work in a new interesting area (LLMs) that serves the company's internal uses such as candidate screening, ticket resolving + semantic search in the front end. But I'd have to move back to Asia. TC would be lower but the tax was also much lower. The new company has a technically strong team though. I mostly care about the career progression + TC here. I feel that Yelp is now cutting costs, reducing TC in the comp scheme. I'm not sure if they'd be willing to promote more people in the near future. Do you think Yelp still has a bright future to grow? How would you guys decide? #yelp #tech #career #LLM #swe #datascience
Change. No one uses yelp now
what % annual increase did you get? You have a pretty high TC for IC3
I haven't heard yet for this year.
this is standard. my gf got same TC before she was brutally fired within first week. Yelp is the silent shameless employer.
Wait £150k tc for ic3? Whats your yoe? Thats crazy good
@OP What's your TC breakup and YOE ?
A few people was piped at yelp recently and they started hiring a bit again. Guess they wanted to flush a few ppl out
It is not PIP if they hire to fire and ruin careers, lives of families. At least 3 months tenure is needed to even evaluate performance and the probation is 6 months. Yelp is just known for such evil practices.
There were definitely pip as well . I am not sure about the 3 months thing ( i wasnt aware ) but some people were here for a year + and was piped. They didnt even do bad which was the sad part. It is pretry awful though regardless
How much would you take into account the fact that Yelp is not growing and it’s kinda losing the “Ads industry”?
Seems like the new job would require you to relocate to Asia. Is that to your home country or some totally different Asian country? If you are open to relocating, then the LLM stuff should be interesting and will give you something to show on your resume for future opportunities. But if you don’t want to relocate and wish to stay in London, then stay for now.
Do you think LLM vs Ads auctioning / ranking is more valuable to the career as ML scientist / DS in the future?
Any layoffs with yelp for swe in US? I don't see any roles
Are you aware of the new joiner who got laid off by Yelp within a week? Anybody working for a company like that is just not respectable.
Really? What happened?!
Just some insecure toxic people ruined a career. It is usual business at Yelp as your HR would say.
