I have an offer from The Trade Desk that beats my FB TC (after crash). Current TC < 350K, E5, Infra team Offered TC 380K plus refreshers, Senior SWE YOE 9 How’s the work at TTD? Is it challenging, worth putting in my resume? How’s the culture? Any politics/toxicity? Is Adtech going to survive the upcoming recession? Is TTD relatively recession safe?
How were the interviews? Leetcode-heavy?
No, 1 take home + code review, 1 class design + basic graph traversal, 2 system design + knowledge/experience based, one behavioral.
Nice
The Engineering culture is really nice. CEO has a vision for the future. But, I'm not a fan of the tech stack here.
Can I DM you?
Yes
Don’t join an ad tech company
Elaborate?
Why?
DM for Pure Storage if interested
Bay area?
Seattle
I joined within the last year, DM if you want
Can I DM as well?
Can I dm as well
I'm sure it's worth it. The programmatic ad industry is in a nascent stage ...problem they are solving looks interesting. From the growth perspective, it's difficult for Meta to 10x from here but Trade desk easily would
That’s what the recruiter told me today
For staff engineer role, is the interview about leetcode based questions?
A portion of it will. I’m headed there soon at staff.
What leetcode questions should one solve? There are no company tagged questions on Leetcode for TTD. Just some usual questions/practice?
OP did you take the offer?
Not worth the switch
Under ideal conditions, yes, I agree. My PERM is stuck here, hence looking outside Meta.
I have an AWS offer as well . Down level to L5, recruiter said they can meet my current TC, but that’s about it.
