Current TC: 160k
YOE: 4
I've had a verbal approval from Bloomberg for a few months, but have been shopping around and received 1 more (lowish) offer + another expected. I still have an onsite at FB to schedule, no availability til Jan. Bloomberg has been getting pushy about making a decision, but I didn't want to give up on these other places (I was about to apply to Twitter and Google as well) since the work/team at BB doesn't seem exciting to me (C++ monolith -> python microservices conversion). I had a call with the recruiter just now and he asked what TC I would need to stop looking. I threw out 270k, which I thought would be out of range for my 4 YOE, and he said he could maybe make that work, gave me the weekend to think about it. If I'm ok with it and he clears it, he'd put out a 270k offer with a short deadline.
The FB recruiter happened to call me immediately after and I explained the situation and she suggested come in for the interview in Jan and renege if I get it. Makes me very uncomfortable and I hate to burn bridges but obviously this is a huge decision and I really do think FB would be a better place for me. Focused on learning, career growth, being around smart engineers right now.
I was about to let BB go, but 270k is pretty massive, and there's the difference in WLB reputation between BB and FB to consider.
What would you do? Accept BB? Accept then maybe renege? Just keep looking?
Edit: Bloomberg team would be Data License, if that factors in at all, what's the reputation there?
