I have an offer from all 3 and very confuse which one to pick at this stage. I am also considering staying at Amazon due to Covid19 situation. I am currently at L5 level and hoping to get L6 next year. Visa Status: H1B Current TC: 260k Location: Bay Area Yoe: 9 Gusto offer: 185k base + 30k stock options (L4/L5) Rivian offer: 190k base + 17k RSUs (Senior role) Roblox: still waiting for the numbers
Roblox is doing very well and I feel in the current situation their DAU would further increase. They also pay very well!
On Visa? Stay at Amazon 100%. And L6 is a pretty good role so at least wait a couple months and interview with other FAANGs + Microsoft
Roblox of course. We are crushing it.
I believe Roblox will give u a good number.
I wouldn’t go to Gusto. Highly likely there will be layoffs within 6 months. It’s a solid business model but they focus on small businesses and it’s going to take a long time before they recover from COVID. Also, I suspect you’ll work on more cutting edge tech at one of your other options.
^Hmm I disagree. Given what we’ve raised the last two summers + our expense reduction plan, I think we’ll be able to sustain without layoffs. We have quite a few more reductions we could make before we’d need to start cutting jobs + 1-month in and our client base is showing more resiliency than we planned for. Josh legit just said last week at our all hands meeting he’s feeling even more confident now than he was in March about not needing to have layoffs. We’re also still hiring (albeit, largely scaled back), honoring internships, etc.
OP, You didn't mention what your specialization is . That's very important in picking up the company and see who's core business is better aligned for your specialization and career growth there. But if you're looking mainly at comp, then it doesn't matter.
Lol I’m all for Gusto pride, but why would you leave Amazon?! WLB?
What was your Roblox offer
Now look back at the votes the value seems just opposite.
What's the offered level/title at each company?
Updated post with title/level.
