Which would you choose, mid-level at tier 0: Airbnb, OpenAI, Netflix, Databricks. Or staff at tier 4: Adobe, Ebay, Squarespace, Yelp. Assuming pay is the same. Edit: I'm curious why as well Tc: 🥜 #software #faang #swe
These choices dont make any sense
How can you put Adobe with Yelp. You got the tier 4 wrong imo
What tier is td
Tier 0. I don’t think we would interview ppl from the T4 companies you mentioned when we have top 5% of Google/Meta/AWS trying to get in all the time
I’ve worked with some adobe/yelp guys here in the past fwiw
Meta guys aren't joining Databricks unless it's uplevel. Meta is literally tier 1 pay with liquid cash.
It would really depend on which companies. In general I’d pick staff but if it were something like openAI I’d be willing to be mid level there
Tier 4 company candidate would probably get downleveled 3-4 times going to tier 0 company
Optimize for trajectory, not title.
It's not just a title. Staff scope is much bigger
Bigger at some shit tier companies doesnt mean anything. Biggest fish in small ponds cant adjust to larger ponds easily
