Leaving market reactions aside.

I see they are working on committing to long term which open up huge opportunities in solving challenging problems to consolidate infrastructure.

Do snap employees feel the same?

For TC suckers I make 530 at google.

    Lol leaving 530k from google aka best wlb and great products and most elite tech company for a sinking ship in snap where people are overworked and management is a mess. How did you get into google with those logic and reasoning skills?

    OP
    Ok here is how I see it, either I keep working at google and continue building something which takes multiple years to land and be of next level impact.

    Whereas at snap if I can quickly apply what I learned so far and build impactful infrastructure, I can become director in 2 years.

    Even if their stock drops to $2 snap offer will meet my Google TC so financial risk is almost non existent, only risk is if some crap like Amazon acquires them and I have to stick with them

  • I would say dont come unless they offer director title up front. theres a big risk of layoff.

  • OP - if I were you, I would rather work on my own idea to meaningfully change the world or would join a small startup with similar vision. Snap is a sham.

    Join and wait for layoff is not a bad idea actually.
