Similar pay, TC 300K, need some input on which one to pick.
Wayfair:
Pro: better work life balance, work is more interesting, involves ML which is not common now for DS roles
Con: not good reviews in general, the previous layoff could be hurting the culture. Leadership of the team seems new, HM for this role is also leaving, which is a red flag to me.
Meta
Pro: I get to talk to different teams and pick one in bootcamp, if I get lucky maybe I can get a team that’s less stressful?
Con: DS roles at Meta does not do ML at all, which I think is one of my current strength, not sure how much I will enjoy SQL all day.
