Going with Expedia SDE 2 offer (India)
Mar 23, 2021
24 Comments
Current TC: 21 lpa (14 base)
YoE: 1.7, SDE 1
Offered TC: 26 base + 12 stocks (over 4 years) + 5 bonus (over 2 years), SDE 2 (Have a verbal offer along with other benefits)
Other relevant information I am considering:
- WLB pretty bad at Amazon, looking to have some peace of mind.
- Promo planned around Q4 (Dec 2021) at Amazon. Expecting a base of 27-28 there.
- Expedia seems to be recovering from the pandemic. Stock performance analysis shows good growth in future. Additionally, I have not come across lay offs in engineering teams in India.
PS: Please consider adding any reasoning for your vote as well. Expedia employees: please do share your opinions and experiences regarding growth and WLB at Expedia.

Btw the recruiter also mentioned that I was given this base since I had a counter offer. The counter offer had a base of 24, but it was sde 1.
Just a bit of background, Expedia has setup new roles starting Jan 2021, in which older ASDE are now SDE1 I.e. level J, Sde1 are sde2 I.e. Level K, sde2 are now Sde3 I.e. level L.
You will have good scope of getting more when promoted to Sde3.
