I’d love to get some opinion here. Zendesk Staff SWE vs TikTok 2-2 (Senior) Which one would you guys take? I haven’t got the offers yet, but pretty much TikTok will beat Zendesk on TC. I’m thinking on multiple metrics here. TC, Career Growth, WLB. Love to get your thoughts. #tech
You're in Europe and half of your TC flies away in taxes anyways. Choose the one you enjoy working at the most 😅
Tiktok is a shitshow to work for and the average tenure is less than 2 years. But at least it's growing and challenging. Their European teams are probably not too bad and comp will be decent. Zendesk however, our best days are behind us and we are being led into low comp private equity hell. Also I don't think Zendesk can beat that 130k for a staff role. Pay here is crap.
You are based in EU?
Yep. Turned down Tiktok for Zendesk. Made sense at the time. Probably wouldn't do that now though.
Who tf is Zendesk? Take tiktok lol
Tiktok for prestige
Lol. Who the fuck cares about prestige? TC, WLB and role is all that matters.
China vs not china
