Workday Vs Linkedin
I have an offer from the analytics team that works on the spark query engine at Workday, and an offer from the Big Data platform org at LinkedIn. Is there anything to be aware of in terms of workday culture? For LinkedIn, is the infra still some of the best industry? Or is the infra starting to show its age. Verbal Offer: - 260k TC with 50k sign on bonus breakdown: P3 180 / 62.5 / 18 I have another offer with LinkedIn as well that I am considering. Both TC is the same now (matched). Big data platform Title: Software Engineer 170 / 70 / 17 + signon bonus Current TC: 170 #workday #linkedin #analytics #infrastructure #prism #offer #engineering #software #swe
Workday p4? Whatās your offer breakdown for workday? And not sure how good LinkedIn refreshers are but you can safely expect 40-60% of initial grant every year (with no promos) as refreshers at Workday. Big reason why most donāt experience a cliff at the end of their vest. But LinkedIn probably has more perks and value add on a resume.
So in 4yrs you will have double your initial grant? We have no set annual refresher policy. All depends on performance, team and org. We do a cliff fix at the end of 4yrs
After 4 years your initial grant is gone. Letās do an example - P4 initial offer: 182 base/240 Rsu/10% bonus = 260k (average, may be close to OPās) Refresher every year without promo = 120k average for P4 vesting 4 years. Stacking every year. To make it simple - no promos and no base increases. But of course you will always have a base increase every year. Year 1: 182 + 60 rsu + 18.2 + sign on = 260k + sign on Year 2: 182 + 60 rsu + 30 refresher + 18.2 = 290K Year 3: 182 + 60 rsu + 30 refresher + 30 refresher + 18.2 = 320k Year 4: 182 + 60 rsu + 30 refresher * 3 + 18.2 = 350k Year 5: 182 + 30 refresher * 4 + 18.2 = 320k No cliff. With base increases your comp is def higher every year as it also affects your bonus One promo or one Exceeds rating should take it way over the 350k min set on year 4. Of course all this is without stock appreciate either
LinkedIn definitely offers more growth opportunities and better culture. The poll result overwhelmingly agrees. However, if you enjoy micromanagement and politics, you canāt find a better place than the analytics team here. š
If you are still with Microsoft you cannot get a sign-on when moving to LinkedIn, so that could impact Y1 TC.
EOY?
No disrespect to Workday Spark query team ( whatever that is) but our big data infra ( pick any team Kafka, Spark, Samzaā¦) is a class apart in terms of data volume and complexity of problems. Your TC seems good enough for SE and a 2 year promo is very probable in big data team. Just 0.01 cents
Which team in big data platform org? I can try and give some more insights
Will PM
This pay for swe at LinkedIn is so high. Just like L4
Does Linkedin do refreshers? Last I heard they don't but worth asking the recruiter if you haven't already.
With my compensation well above SWE median, I doubt Iāll get refreshers. Itās the one thing people complain about the most at LinkedIn
OP. Be mindful you will be brainwashed with useless proprietary language and other junknologies here. You should focus on building transferable skills and working on challenging projects. As good as the annual refreshers sound, they may only net you a few thousands a year even if you stay that long. Starting at a high base will sure beat those false promises. And the realš°will come later when you jump ships. Workday has fooled a generation of new and recent grads since its founding. Donāt make that mistake. Join LinkedIn.
Even for Spark query engine team ? If workday is able to do a spark-submit in any language other than python/Scala/Java/R then thatās interesting!
Go to LinkedIn. Workday has nice people, but boring tech. LinkedIn also has nice people, better tech, and the nice MSFT stock
I love MSFT stock š
