I need to evaluate 2 internship offers. Zillow is seattle based and Pan is Santa Clara based. The salaries are all around 8K/month, although I do not care much about this. The return rate are high for both companies. Zillow Pros: the office looks really nice. I think it offers good package for new grad if I got the return offer. TC 170K in seattle and 200K in sf? Cons: the company is not very promising based on the stock price. Also, it is in seattle. I prefer to stay in the bay area. Is it possible to get a return offer from the sf office if I intern in seattle? And how flexiblility it is to switch from seattle to sf. Pan Pros: I have very positive interview experiences and the manager is nice. I am 90 percent sure that i can get a return offer. I like the location. Cons: I do not have a secutity background. It seems that Pan does not offer competitive package to new grad. I saw some 160K packages. I plan to apply for some other big companies, like google, fb, after I graduate. Do not know which internship looks better in resume.
Definitely go with Zillow.
I'm biased to PAN. They work on more interesting problems
Unless you have competing offers from public companies that pay more, your tc expectations are too high for zillow.
https://www.teamblind.com/article/Zillow-145k-base-New-Grad-nTMdXjAw This post said that 140K base is reasonable for graduate student
That's not their standard offer , maybe it's due to competing offers
Pick what interests you. Those are two vastly different companies.
Google is my dream company. But sadly it did not give me an interview this year.
Zillow pays around 170k in SF even to a Masters student as well. Also this consists of 2 years of joining bonus. Zillow SF new grad offer - 125k base, 110k stocks, 35k joining bonus over 2 years I don't see how Zillow pay is competitive. They don't have 10% annual target bonus Do u have exact new grad numbers for Seattle
My friend got 185k (115+30+20+20) from zillow seattle a month ago. He is a master student with no working experience. Last year I saw a new college grad got 170k(110+30+15+15) from zillow seattle.
What are the last 3 components ? You are probably counting it wrong. Zillow gives 30k signon bonus split over 2 years For eg Salesforce SF new grad MTS offer is 150k base, 15k annual bonus, 110k stocks, 40k signon The TC including 2nd year bonus would be 150+15+15+28+40 = 248k lol
Seattle sucks bigtime unless youd want to swallow 10000 units of Vitamin D pills 💊 everyday lol Go for PANW, they’re the number one cloud security company after so many top notch acquisitions :)
lol I really like seattle in summer. But winter is a nighmare
