Zillow vs eBay

I have some offers and came with 2 choices: Zillow and eBay. I'm an iOS developer with 4 YOE, mostly working on Swift. I'm leaning toward Zillow because they are also using Swift and eBay is using Objective-C. Which company do you think is better for an iOS developer? Current TC: 80K Zillow: 260K - P3 Fully remote eBay: 280K - SDE3 Seattle (Changed to fully remote like Zillow) Edit: eBay comes back after knowing Zillow offer, eBay also put me to fully remote. Will eBay turns the table here? #zillow #ebay

Which city are you planning to stay in, if remote?

I'm living at my house in a small town in Washington, 2 hours driving from Seattle

I would say Zillow. Don't just look at your current TC, compare the two companies after your next two promotions. And yes objective-c is terrible

Nautilus zxczxczxc OP May 14, 2021

Recruiters said I’m on the very end of P3 and SDE3.

Nautilus zxczxczxc OP May 14, 2021

Agree I don’t want to work with Objective-C but eBay role will invole more design system than just coding at Zillow

Aj to party 🥳🎉

Congrats, why didn't you jump sooner? That's low TC with 4 years. I vote Zillow, real estate is happening rn & you like their stack.

Nautilus zxczxczxc OP May 14, 2021

I want to but have 2 new borns 2 years ago, really busy with them and a full time job. Start practicing and applying last year when they hit 1 year old, took me 1 year to find a new job though. Ye I’m leaning towards Zillow too and many people agreeing with you with the poll

Take zillow. Better prospects and you can keep living where you are

Nautilus zxczxczxc OP May 14, 2021

eBay comes back and offer me to fully remote as well.

Amazon kenjeong May 19, 2021

That's like you threaten to leave a job and boss comes with counteroffer. eBay will turn tables on you once you are in.

For P3 that is a very good offer for Zillow. Congrats!

Nautilus zxczxczxc OP May 14, 2021

Thank you!

Why does Blind always look down on eBay? I think they are doing pretty great so far.

Amazon good_day May 14, 2021

I guess that’s bcs of the competition they are against and how the competition has fared over the last few years. Curious to know more as well

What’s your base bay at eBay?
