I have two offers from Chewy and HubSpot. The total comp from Chewy is a little bit higher. But I heard the culture there is bad. However, HubSpot is a happy place to work for but the total comp is a little bit lower.
Does anyone have more insights into them?
FYI TC for the 1st year
Chewy TC ~266k engineering manager
HubSpot TC ~240k tech lead
#chewy #hubspot

I can't speak to the Chewy EM role and what it involves, but the HubSpot TL role is more of the latter - you're responsible for leading a small team typically with 2-4 engineers and owning a small slice of the HubSpot product (along with your product manager, if you're in a group that has them). You'll write performance reviews for your team 2x a year and be involved in the PIP process if you have an underperformer, but that's about it in terms of management responsibilities. Internally, a TL is considered a manager, but I think that's really overstating it.
A lot of the 'classical' manager responsibilities - hiring, firing, staffing plans, comp reviews, etc - happen at the Engineering Lead level and above. ELs have a mix of IC engineer (SSWE II and below) and TL direct reports comprising 2-5 teams, and are also responsible for TLing one of their teams (and are thus actively coding a small percentage of their time).
Happy to answer any other questions you have about being a TL at HubSpot.
chewy is for a manager role, hubspot is for a tech lead role
