Asking for a friend moving from retail to tech (data scientist with 4 yoe, current tc 160k) Doordash: tc - 240k pros: 1. Job duties align better with career goal 2. Moving up the ladder is easier given the company is small? cons: 1. poor wlb and poor benefits 2. the delivery industry has extremely low profit margin, so no stock growth and potential layoffs 3. not technology driven? afterpay(block): tc - 260k pros: 1. good wlb and block has great potential 2. stock is all time low cons 1. Potential reorgs given that the integration is not fully completed 2. Job duties is too specific and don’t align with career goal 2. bnpl might not be going anywhere in recession TikTok: Final numbers is yet to come but should be similar to the other 2 pros - profitable (?) cons - poor wlb (?) TC breakdown is similar - dd offers slightly more cash. Job security and career growth are top priorities. Any suggestions will be appreciated!
TikTok culture is trash I would not join. If you’re ok being constantly micromanaged and having a pip loom over your head go for it. Very few teams there have a good WLB. I was there for a few months before jumping ship because my manager was an asshat and worked out of the country. Would constantly schedule 1:1s where I’d have to be up at like 3 or 4am. I can share more specifics in DM if you’d like.
TikTok will beat the other offers but the life here will eff you up. Stay away IMO. keep interviewing.
I heard tiktok culture is trash: https://youtu.be/pkDXV2g_i7Y
What level is this? And is this the Uber equivalent applied scientist or data scientist?
Tiktok culture makes Amazon look like Disneyland. I vote Block because you correctly observed dd isn’t exactly building anything crazy, no big upside but potential downside. I wouldn’t discount bnpl bc of recession, and from there block can likely expand a good bit. Great job on the offers!
Locations?
Bay area but all can work from home
So let me get this straight… Bay Area salary, but can work from non income taxes states like here in Texas? Dude has only 4 YOE out of college? And can make 300K+ a year? I really need to do something about my career…
Solid offer for block
what are the levels for those offers?
I have never heard anyone saying anything good about tiktok. That should be a sign.
