Got offers from 3 very different companies. Want some advice from folks here Role is SWE Personal preference: learning >= career growth > $ Roblox: Pro: 1 Highest initial offer 310k (~185k cash + ~500k RSU / 4 y) 2 Manager seems nice and team is expanding 50% 3 Prominent metaverse player 4 Career growth seems promising Cons: 1 Will be writing C# and .NET, not sure how transferable it is 2 Reorg will be happening around the time I join(in 2-3 months) 3 Seems hard to apply for working remotely permanently in the future Flexport: tc ~275k with 165k cash and ~110k paper money per year at the latest valuation Pro: 1 Logistics business seems a boom due to recent geopolitical issues 2 IPO upside 3 Team is really small and manager wants to make it an org in 1-2 years 4 Will be working on identity management team and it seems quite transferable in the future(SSO, auth service, etc) Cons: 1 Heard Amazon culture from people working there. Not sure if it’s throughout the company or just in few teams 2 Seems promotion will be relative slower than Roblox Chainlink labs: tc 275k. I can split it between $LINK and cash however I want (What it does: Provide Oracle API for real world to interact with on chain blocks, monopoly or >50% market size in the Oracle space) Pro 1 Seems like the best company to learn Web 3 since it does not bet on specific chains 2 Potential 10x if super bullish on crypto and blockchain Con 1 very small company and lots of processes are still to be figured out like career progression, performance bonus, etc. 2 The company doesn’t support GC application and I’m on H1B visa with 4 year left 3 Not sure how transferable will be the skill sets and how hard it’s to jump back to Web 2 companies Blind tax YOE: 2, Current TC: ~260k after the nosedive for stocks #engineering #swe #tech
Where did you end up joining?
How were the chainlink interviews?
Dm for that. I had one
Are you at chain link? Can you refer?
Why do you think it is hard to apply remote in the future? Did recruiter tell you that?
Chainlink labs has 90%+ monopoly, not 50%. If any area in web3 takes off big, chainlink would most likely be a big part of that, and also big. The con #1 for chainlink is actually a pro. It means it is too early to bring those processes, you rather want to join such companies as early as possible
What role at Chainlink? Did you end up joining Chainlink?
Do you know if Chainlink sponsors GC now?
Why do you say ChainLink doesn't support GC?
