Lmaoo, using interviews for free travel. Nice 👌🏻
FB has contacted me a few times in the last few months. I just can't bring myself to reply, even though two years ago this would have made my day.
Warning: humble brag 😁 I had 10 on-sites, resulting in 8 offers. I chose Google finally. // *From final offer stage* // Facebook: culture Amazon: culture and comp and benefits (also practice interview). Work wise, I felt this was most interesting though. Intuit: comp Atlassian: comp Lyft: tough call between Google and Lyft, but didn't want to commute to SF Box: practice interview Stripe: practice interview // *Rejected sooner* // Robinhood, Credit Karma, Microsoft, LinkedIn, Slack, ServiceNow (interviews were scheduled well after I had multiple offers in hand, so decided to drop off) // *Companies that rejected me* // Apple (on-site), Uber (on-site), Elastic (resume review) Fwiw, this was my 3rd reject with Apple. I don't know what I do wrong there!
Award goes to Microsoft.
OP, you have rejected in what way? Did you have offers you turned down, or just rejected on your own, without trying an interview?
Um.. OP is just humble bragging
Facebook: can't stand the idea of having to use Facebook at work, deleted my account a while ago and not going back especially at work Google: does anyone actually work here? Half-baked products, people writing treatises on internal mailing lists and quora instead of building something, earning high TC but what's the point?
Lol people don't work at Google?
Google: meh, got a downlevel and comp was equal or less than fb. Seems like lots of politics and bureaucracy. Uber: really tough call but decided that the improvement in TC wasn’t enough to justify leaving fb yet what with all the benefits and pretty good projects. Amazon - TC was low, Seattle offer meh, culture. Doordash - preferred fb offer as wanted liquid stocks.
This is insightful! Thanks all for posting
