Have new grad offers from Scale AI and Two Sigma Scale AI: Location: San Francisco TC: ~180 + They are very selective, hire from top CS schools hence expecting great learning opportunities with smart people + Good stock component and since it is pre-IPO company, stocks could have huge upside + Promotions are faster than other tech companies (could someone confirm?) - Lower compensation than Two Sigma - Bad reviews on Blind Two Sigma: Location: New York TC: Yet to receive + Much better compensation + Better WLB than Scale AI (?) + Better brand name than Scale AI (for exit opportunities) + Easier to switch to HFT if decide to focus on TC later - Finance firm, worried that could affect my opportunities with tech firm in long run (?) - Very slow growth #tech #twosigma #scaleai
Both are great options, nice work. I’m told Scale’s WLB has gotten better. I would choose them because I think they will continue to rocket in valuation, and it’s just a truly cool company. Sort of depends what your Two Sigma offer is though.
Exactly my thoughts, though I am not sure why it has such negative reviews on blind, I did not find anything bad with the company
Considering people are choosing scale over citsec/JS/HRT/DE Shaw, it is really a no brainer imo
Depends on what you want, WLB = TS, high growth is probably scale AI.
Can confirm promotions at Scale are quick, especially if you’re a high performer, seen new grads get promoted in 6 months. Lower end of the L4 band is around 300/325k. But the grind is real here. Equity grants are given to high performers as well, they have performance reviews every 6 months as well. We’re growing very quick, so lots of opportunities for growth. From my pov, It’s very easy to connect and work with senior leadership as well, even remotely.
which one did you choose and what was the 2 Sigma comp (including sign on)?

I have worked at TikTok US core tech for 3 years. AMA.
What's the offer breakdown for Scale? The offers I've heard of including my own were around 217k TC. Not sure why yours would be at 180k.
I have excluded Sign-on, the base is around 140 rest stocks. What's yours?
Ah I see. My base was also around 140k but stock around 60k/yr.
