Hello folks, I received a verbal offer from Shopify. I don't know yet for which level, but it's an EM position and I am based out of NYC. What TC should I expect?
YOE: 7 as a manager.
Current TC: 400k (after taking into account stock price growth,)

Also, would you recommend joining Shopify (from Amazon)? How's the culture, work life balance and future prospects?

I understand that similar questions were asked before, but I couldn't find the answers I was looking for, so apologies for the repetition.
Thanks in advance.

    An EM should be a L7 (equivalent to staff developer).
    Iโ€™m sure Shopify can come upto 400K for L7. They did so fro SF Bay Area. (Iโ€™m assuming SF and NYC should be on the same level).

    Culture is good. WLB is great. Itโ€™s more like an Apple and not a FB or Google IMO. So it does work a bit different from a Bay Area FANG company. Future prospects are good โ€” given the company has great plans.

    FYI thereโ€™s a lot of animosity for Amazon folks joining Shopify and messing the culture.

      Thank you. If you don't mind, could you please elaborate on what do you mean by "more like Apple". I don't know much about Apple (from culture perspective) hence asking.

      In my limited experience (less than 6mo); I see that the ceo drives the company very strongly. Heโ€™s got a strong POV on product and engineering and has the final veto power. Itโ€™s good as well bad to have a CEO/cofounder to be so close to the product (ala Steve Jobs style) โ€” got its pros and cons. Itโ€™s a great product though with an amazing future.

    What's the new TC offer? Approximate numbers is OK to share if you don't want exact numbers to show

    Shopify stock seems like a bubble and might fall 20-30% soon. Amazon on the other hand is likely to go up. Do you have any RSUs left to vest at Amazon?
