Google India Vs ByteDance Singapore

Jun 4, 2021 95 Comments

I have been offered both these jobs.
Google India TC: 32 LPA (Including bonuses and RSU)
ByteDance Singapore TC: 100K SGD (Including all bonuses)

I know in terms of savings ByteDance is way way ahead of the other offer. But I'm more interested and at the same time confused in these domains:

1) How is the WLB specifically at the Singapore office at ByteDance

2) Growth opportunities when switching jobs (will the brand name of Google help me other than getting me Interviews easily)

3) The type of work I'll be doing if I join as a fresh grad at Google. I assume at ByteDance it would be good experience and a challenging one.

4) What else should I keep in mind and compare before selecting the right choice for me.

Thanks.

    @op you should not think about saving at this point, 10 year down the line what you will save today in a year you will earn in couple months
    You should judge offers on the basis of how much you will get to learn, learning in initial years is very important, as it helps in fast tracking your career.

      It totally depends the team you join in Google or bytedance. Google has best mobility policy, employee satisfaction is top priority so if you don't like team you can easily change, I am not sure about bytedance.

    • And company isn't everything too, if you're from US or Europe why would you move to India just for Google offer? Tell me, which country you're from at least. Lol

      Wtf, obviously nobody would move from the US/Europe to India for google. I said Google anywhere > Bytedance SG, not Google over everything.
      We're giving OP advice based on her options and what's best for her career, and running out of the country for bytedance when she's got G isn't the best move. Now if OP can't wait to get out of India, she can just move (and it looks like she's made up her mind tbh), but we're out here just giving advice.

      Also quit the BS lol. Your comment says "Google India isn't as prestigious as Google Singapore or tiktok singapore." Nowhere does it look you were saying that because people want to leave india, you were directly talking about prestige lol. You just changed your entire point now.

      "who in the right mind will live in India when there is opportunity to go to Singapore?" Dude, lots of people who have better career prospects here? Idk if you're trying to boost your ego or validate your decision to move or what, but that's your decision. you're looking at OP's choices only based on location, and a clouded sense of prestige.

      I'm from India, ya happy?

      @JjU58, that sounds super weird.

      What I mentioned is mid-2020/L4/BLR.

      What level were you offered? If you are sure that you cleared that you cleared HC at that level, then something is off.

      Try reaching out to some other recruiter and tell them that you cleared HC and are looking for team match.

      Also you can DM me if you want, my team is actively hiring (in HYD though) and in team fit phase for HC cleared candidates.

    Is this even a choice? Google all the way. You will save more in India than in Singapore with those numbers. Lots of new engineering teams at the Bangalore office. WLB/Culture/Brand name is better at Google.
