Hello Blinders, Need help to decide on the two offers. I have got offers from zillow & compass where the work is mostly identical in terms of scope and learning. I rejected FB already as they were low balling (300). I want to optimize for growth and tc. Zillow: 360tc Pros: better work life balance , stable stock growth Great interview experience I believe in the product long term but not sure on how it would perform in the short term Cons: not able to go higher on tc Compass:430tc Pros: Good Interview experience, high tc, growth opportunity Cons: -mixed wlb reviews on blind, -don't believe in the product for long term unless they diversify but it might grow in short term(next 2yrs) -They use fragomen 😒 -question on stability given I'm on Visa which is important to me Considerable difference in tc to ignore compass Current tc: 270 reaching 4 yr cliff #zillow #compass #visa #fragomen #offers #fb #faang
Compass stock is bad, and their wlb is bad plus you are on visa - why are you even considering compass? Go to Zillow.
Zillow stock has also gone down 50% from ath. So it is an industry trend.
First off that’s a good thing when joining a company. If a stock is low when you join, then it grows, hed make a lot more money after OP’s time there (if he/she stays at Zillow). Also the real estate market is low right now anyways. Also Visa is another issue. Why would OP not go to a more stable company that also has more salary potential. The great work life balance makes having a slightly less salary really more than Compass salary
Read what the OP is optimizing for. Wlb is not mentioned there.
Why cant fb match them? Fb pays a lot more overall if tc is what u want to optimize for
I was surprised myself but have seen other threads this year were FB is going googles way and low balling everyone
op, what level did you get at Fb? If it’s E4 and in Melno park then yeah 300 is the max for the band. Its slightly less around 275 if its Seattle.
Factor in refreshers and multipliers
Definitely, that has made my decision harder as compass has better refreshers
What location? Remote? What level?
Remote at both Position is equivalent to FB L5 at both organizations
Levels.fyi seem to place compass L5 as a higher level than Facebook L5
Fragomen??
Thats is the Immigration team associated with compass
Another question to consider OP: how do you feel about the managers ?
Based on conversation, both look equally good. Can't guage more on just two calls.
Bro compass stock has decreased more than 30 percent why are you even considering them
Less worried about overall stock growth but more about stability -Zillow has also declined from 200 to 100 as well -Market has been harsh on growth stocks Definitely considering this aspect, thanks
It has decreased due to how compass has given bonuses to the agents. Their model looks like gives value to agents not to software
