need some advice
i was laid off from a tier 2 company a month ago, now i am about to reach an offer stage with 2 companies and i am confused on how to chose 1st one is not a big brand TC is around 175k (remote) really like the people, title and impact i can make 2nd is cisco grade 8 i think it'll be around 160-180k in North carolina don't like the role much, but as im on Visa and laid off i applied for it Cisco might even go higher as I have a lot of relevant experience. Also, what's the range for grade 8 and 9 at Cisco? Should i pick Cisco or Non-brand company? It is listed on NYSE , but its yearly revenue is about 2-3B TC 0 laid off
Do you value perceived stability and TC more, or do you want interesting projects and working from home?
i want stability, the no brand company has never laid off, and they have 5 headcounts approved , so im guessing it should be safe in terms of layoffs.. but im just scared cause was laid off
Sounds like you already made a decision then. ^^ So, only thing left is to decide how much of a premium Cisco would have to give you for you to change your mind.
Donât undervalue working with people you like on stuff youâre interested in.
Cisco doesn't have grade 9
They do, actually. You are correct that it's being phased out and certain BUs don't have it, though
Yoe?

Would probably be easier to get a job at Cisco in the future than the other company your comments and post are leaning towards
Another factor, how supportive is other non-cisco with Visa sponsorship and GC process. Cisco would definitely support Visa process. However, I had worked for a startup 10 yrs ago, which supported Visa process even better. Just one more factor to think. Feel free to DM me on Cisco
Cisco recently had layoffs too
Sounds like you like the remote job a lot more. Go for that.
