Few months back, Sharechat became a Unicorn startup and since then, I saw lots of people joining ShareChat from Amazon/MS/OCI/FK in India. I found their compensation range is decent for SDE2(TC 45-65 with base 30-42L). Today, Recruiter reached out for Interview. Although the TC range is really good, but I don’t like the product. Please help me understand: 1. ShareChat is not going to IPO right? 2. Their products looks like Tiktok/Insta Reels. Is that all they provide? 3. Why are people so excited to work on building tiktok? TC: 46L YOE: 4 #Sharechat #amazon #microsoft #flipkart #oracle
I liked the work they are doing in ML, lots of good data, huge volumes and diverse content, so good ML problems and learning although the end product isn’t great agreed. Comp + learning for me ended up beating brand/product since I was anyway working on an internal tool in G before
Thanks for sharing
Hey gungnir! How easy is to change team internally? I might get a data analyst offer. Wondering should I ask them right away to arrange for DS rounds, or is it easier to switch internally?
Yeah they’re doing great work on tech front but tbh product is crap and I don’t like it
sharechat is a product similar to Facebook, but it has its own USP - Vernacular and hyperlocal content. it has roughly 160Million monthly active users. Moj is currently number#1 short video app in India, but yes it's exact replica of tiktok. work is really interesting here, however I don't use the product myself because there is no English option and content is really cheap. (but tier 3 audience likes this kind of content) personally I like the scale+ work culture + ESOP growth (recent buyback)
What is value of each esop & how much they pay in each buyback
Is work culture good? Is the post true? [Blind] Check out this post! Why no one should join ShareChat and why I’m leaving (Tech Industry) https://us.teamblind.com/s/UiEmwcqO
I interviewed recently, didnt join, 1st round - Interviewer straightaway asked to solve in O(n), I had done similar ques before told him its not possible(with current constraints it wasn't possible), then he went silent, I then asked him if we have this particular constraint then only it can be done in O(n). He said yes yes we have this constraint HM - was rude and kept pressing on the fact that how he is from an IIT and is better than everyone else (he asked hld of my previous project and kept saying this was so easy could have been done in this way instead, how it took 2-3 months for you guys) And i dont think its a good product that they are building, looks like B-grade app to be honest, although the tech teams might be learning a lot handling those volumes
But why you wanna go there from msft?
I interviewed at MS and sharechat at same time, joined MS recently
Why would anyone stay at ms compared to sc?

I recently interviewed for sharechat, the HM interviewer was an extremely arrogant bald guy. Plus they asked me if I used "Moj" or "Sharechat", why should I use that shit. I mean building that might be fun but using that won't be.
Was he the VP who keeps giving gyan on Linkedin
I mean, I don’t think I’ll enjoy building that shit too. Let’s see how the interview goes. What about the interview difficulty?
