Got offers from each of these companies. Would just post TC and not the split up. SoFi: ~300k Sr.SWE Salesforce: ~290k SMTS Amazon: ~320k SDE2 All offers for WA SoFi market cap is low and has good growth potential and good to enter now with stocks being low. (Please comment and give more insights if you have any) Salesforce would be stable, but not sure if there is much room for growth. Amazon, pip! TC: 220k Yoe: 4
SoFi still has the Chamath curse
Sofi is a guaranteed bust because of Scamath
SoFi is most promising. Even a broken clock shows correct time twice a day (alluding to chamath) I think they are trying to do a lot and have potential to have explosive returns. I'm cautiously optimistic. Still debating if I should load up. Perhaps you can join and give us some inside info.
Yuck on sofi
Interesting, I just got a dosnleveled offer from SoFi for senior eng at 250k. What location are you in? I'm wondering if the disparity in our offer is based on that. I'm 10 yoe coming from small startups though. You're doing great at only 4 yoe compared to be. Nvm I see u said Washington... Definitely a higher col than me but not $50k higher
Surprised you only got senior at SoFi. They offered me Staff with 4 yoe.
Damn that's nuts. You have a master/phd? Or did you come from a tier 1 company?
Bachelor's, currently at Bloomberg
Can you code? Do you have a reasonable work ethic? Can you handle the stress of carrying a pager and fixing a service issue while your pager is going off? If all of those are yes, you’ll be fine at Amazon. You won’t be pip’d the first year unless you punch somebody. If the Amazon offer is highest, why not take it? Worst case, you’ll enhance your resume by putting a FAANG on there and make $320k in the process.
Sofi has similar work culture in sime teams. High burnout rate
Wherever you go just don't work with any Amazon Manager or ex-Amazon manager. You will be fine.
What is Salesforce split like signon, stock and base?
I would suggest taking a gamble with Sofi. How’s the interview process there?
Mostly LC easy type and behavioral.
Sofi is full of failed Amazon leaders. Assaf was fired from Amazon. If you want Amazon then go to Amazon rather than a poor imitation.
