How does that matter?
August, because Windows are a great way to block August of wind.
July or January is when most new headcount comes online. Company shuts down for most of July and August so that's a good time to ramp up. Bonuses are pro-rated so doesn't matter comp wise. If moving to Seattle area, may be able to get a better deal on rent in winter vs August/September when everyone moves here
Thanks for the info. Didn't know bonuses are prorated. Heard that there is a 800$ yearly allowance for Fitness related activities, does that need an employee to start before a specific start date? Also, when is the espp enrollment period?
Good point. Stayfit is only $400 if join past a certain point in the year. Has to be spent in the calendar year. HSA credit is also reduced for starting past a certain point. ESPP enrollment is quarterly and contributions are per pay period so maybe join before the start of a quarter but probably not worth optimizing for
I was about to post the same question, thank you OP! Also, what time of day should I join ?
5:55 AM 👻
Actually, I’m pretty sure it’s 7:00am, which is way too early.

I can tell you when not to join. April 1 -July 1.
Why?
Why is that so? Curious to know.
Jan-Dec
Never.. join FNG instead.
Why? True that FNG > M but that is true for almost all companies. Anything specific to avoid or be careful about when at M?

Everything seems great with this guy, except basic attraction. What to do? My friends say it’s no big deal
