Got an offer from Waymo as a senior engineer but it’s contract for 1 year as a TVC and then maybe I might get converted to FTE. Since my 60 day grace period is going to end this Sunday. I have no choice to take this job and keep looking. I did FAANG interviews and they’ve been extremely slow to process. I don’t have my results for Apple and Amazon final rounds. So fingers crossed 🤞🏼!! I want to know if it’s good to work at Waymo as TVC and how’s the wlb. I left my current job at Tencent because of horrible wlb and mental pressure I needed medical help and was admitted in ER twice. So been interviewing last 4 months and I literally went to final rounds in allFAANG but Netflix and Facebook. I need some help with this TVC work as right now H1B is transferred to waymo and I’m safe temporarily but what’s the work situation is what I’m interested to know? I don’t have GC filed yet which is another concern for me as Tencent didn’t file it yet. Any tips would be really appreciated #faang #career #future #swe #waymo Edit: TC 170K no RSU, no signing bonus
I haven't been a TVC, but have worked with TVCs at Waymo. Some of them were awesome and did convert, but it's far from a sure thing. I think it he TVCs were often a little salty (rightly so, IMO) because they felt they were treated as second-class citizens. It's not a terrible situation, but there are enough things you won't have access to to be annoyed.
