Tiktok vs Credit Karma

Hi, I am a ng and have offers from this two TikTok offer: TC ~ Data Scientist -230 k cash. (Not including RSU) Credit Karma: TC ~ Data Engineer - 200 k For me, I think TikTok’s work might be more interesting? (Not sure about it) Will TikTok be better for career development since it’s a big tech company? But I am worried about the wlb and the culture. Btw, I believe there’s still room for negotiation. Besides, because of the recession, I value the job stability. Which company has a higher possibility of layoffs? Can somebody from credit karma share the experience there. Will the pace of work be boring? How is the opportunity from ck to FANNG? How’s the career path and the career development of data scientist and data engineer? Which one should I choose? #tech #bytedance #creditkarma

Heard TikTok is 996 even in USA and the culture is bad. But it can be monetarily rewarding in the short term. Depends on your tolerance

Bs. TT is a good place

Tiktok because the rsu has value

As do the Intuit RSUs we get.

He said not including rsu next to Tiktok so I’m guessing he omitted them, but included them for Credit Karma

Tiktok is the future . Make best use of that stint .

For TikTok, you may have to have late night meetings with China depending on the team. You may also have to compete with them, which is brutal because they works 996

TikTok is more prestigious but I heard the work life balance is horrible. I have heard it is 996 culture because the parent company is based in China and that's expected of all SWE (9am-9pm, 6 days a week, YES even Saturday). I would take Credit Karma personally because I value wlb

CN headcount no longer works Saturdays because the CN government made it illegal. Wlb though is 😫

Credit Karma PhamTrinli Oct 14, 2022

CreditKarma. Our WLB and company culture is better. TikTok has a higher probability of layoffs. Our leadership actively avoids layoffs.

Thanks! How’s the work there? Do you feel that it’s interesting and prompt? Thank you for the feedback!

Charlotte or Oakland? Presumably you’re also getting initial RSU grant of 90% of your salary offer? I’ve loved CK, and the money goes a long way in Charlotte, plus it’s becoming clear the company is positioning its future in NC with staffing. Wlb is great and the cost of benefits for a full family is extremely reasonable. Company has done a good job positioning for the recession. Growth with revenue and headcount has slowed because elf the economy yet both are still growing regardless.

Go TikTok. You won't get the same level of recruiters afterwards if you're at Credit Karma. While there's lots to like at any company the hiring bar is lower now than before and below average talent is making their way in at Credit Karma. There are many Credit Karma copy cats out there TikTok will stay in it's current standing for a while. People will look at your resume before they look at you, so protect your resume.
