I recently got offer from both Qualtrics and Airbnb. Qualtrics: senior title, TC first year is around 350k Airbnb: interviewing for senior also but downgraded to L4 offer, TC 326K Qualtrics provides higher title and comp. The yearly refresh in Qualtrics is amazing which is avg 200k/4. Airbnb has big name, good WLB and great benefits. Any suggestion on which one should I choose?#engineering
What’s your TC breakdown? Qualtrics will go up to $400k for seniors.
For Qualtrics, 167k base + 15% bonus + 500 RSU + 20k sign-on + 15k year one RSU. I know the refresh in Qualtrics is high like 180k for meet.
You can ask 170-172k base, 30-40k signon, 40-50k year 1 stocks. L5 refreshers are around 220k -300k this year but yes, it’s 180k targeted refreshers. I’m giving these numbers from last 4 months L5 offers on blind. Since market is hot and inflation is high you can ask for more.
Qualtrics has good wlb too
Qualtrics
Why ? Interesting that Airbnb folks are choosing Qualtrics
Make it a poll
You can ask qualtrics for front loaded vesting which will bump your first year TC to 400. From year 2 refreshers will add up.
Interesting that Airbnb folks are also recommending Qualtrics. Any reaons why? Except ofc the money. The difference currently is 25k so not super major.
This one is tough. Despite everyone telling you Airbnb, the senior title at Qualtrics is hard to ignore and will open up door for senior opportunities elsewhere. It depends on how much growth matters to you.
How does Senior from Qualtrics and SDE 2 at Airbnb compare ? In terms of exit opportunities, scope of work and Airbnb might be a better choice depending on the team because with that comes scale; which might be different for Qualtrics
I am in sort of similar situation. I say somewhat because I have a couple more offers and interviews scheduled. I am also confused at the moment and my interviews at both the places were of the same level, however I like speaking to Q folks more than at Airbnb. I have heard that Qualtrics engineering culture might be weak due to it being driven by sales culture; does anyone have insights into airbnb vs qualtrics engineering culture as I am looking mostly for growth opportunities and building my skill set :)
