Deciding between linkedin, tableau, and dropbox. Linkedin: 180k. Will be in infra. Sounds like a great place to work and very interested in the team I'll join. Dropbox: 180k. High hiring bar and smart people. Unsure about future outlook. I think someone said their stock grew only 15% from 2014 to now. Tableau: 230k. Surprised by how much they offered and in seattle, so can save a lot. Brand is a bit lacking and idk if there's anything interesting going on there. Thoughts?
New grad???
Tableau. Interesting challenges and used by every shitty MBA out there. In two three years you’ll jump in a better role at a better company.
If you can’t see the difference of 50k, please don’t come here. Go for your brand, that’s super important.
Tableau stock is very volatile, so it has more risk, but the chance to make way more money. If you think the team at Dropbox is really smart, try to get them to match. A great team as a first role will have great impact on your career. If not, lots of interesting challenges here! I wouldn't go to infra, for some reason it is kind of looked down upon. I think Google is the only place that respects them
Data infra is the most prestigious team to work with at LinkedIn with many other companies like Uber, Twitter, and Netflix using the tech that we build. Why do you say it is looked down upon?
New grad in MS or undergrad? Congrats, the pay is amazing.
Tableau. No brainier
Tableau is the number 1 in the space. Plus that rate in Seattle is great. You can't go wrong with that choice. LinkedIn is also really great, but Dropbox I wouldn't do because they are not a leader in the space your looking at.
At Tableau we work as a team and help each other out. We build a great product customers love, and you have the opportunity to see the direct impact of your work. You’ll have the opportunity to work cross functionally with sales and marketing, and directly interact with customers. We love food and fun and have a great time together. If you choose Tableau do it because you want to be part of the best culture in software. BTW if you wanted the Bay Area, we have an office there. I prefer Seattle. I wouldn’t worry about brand. Recruiters from all the major companies fish for Tableau people.
Negotiate with LinkedIn and take it
