Two offers on the table. New grad and on F1 visa. Since TikTok is getting banned, I am worried about stability. I worked very hard for TikTok and really like the role better compared to Arista's systems related role. Can I join TikTok and quickly shift to better company? Will TikTok on my resume help me get FAANG interviews soon? TikTok: 135K + 15k + 25% bonus (Seattle) Arista: 120K + 15K + 10 - 40% bonus (Austin) TC: 0 #tiktokban #tiktok #bytedance #job #arista #faang
If you’re on visa, then Arista may be the safer option for you. That being said, I’m a citizen and joining TikTok, really excited and not really worried about the legislation being presented in Congress. Worst case scenario it’ll still take 1-2 years for ligation, enough time to get your experience and go to FAANG or somewhere better.
Are you joining or has joined already? I am going to join as well
I will start next week 😊
Your numbers look comparable. I would def recommend Arista unless you can speak do a read Chinese. If the latter, could consider TikTok as you may have some growth prospects. If you are not bilingual, definitely Arista.
One of them is too risky: https://www.npr.org/2024/04/20/1245594589/house-approves-bill-tiktok-ban https://www.teamblind.com/post/This-just-in-DO-NOT-join-TikTok-The-RSUs-are-a-SCAM-mJUi2thm https://fortune.com/2024/03/08/tiktok-non-disparagement-clause-shares-seized/
