Rathi,Sreenivas (cto,svp) fired from Expedia because they are from same village in Andhra?
Role: Senior Engineer Location: NYC YoE: 3.5 Base: 220k - final 230K RSU: 200K/ 4Y TC: 280K Curious about this offer? Don't think Spotify does Sign on or Bonus? #evaluate #offer #tech #swe #nyc #spotify #backend #engineering
Sounds like an ok offer. I’m guessing this is more like top end SDE 2, not sure how many levels Spotify has.
Spotify has Associate, Engineer - 1, Engineer - 2, and then Senior Engineer. Yeah, the base is quite good, but the RSUs, not so much
They also have staff and principal. 3 YOE and Sr is honestly really good. Salary is on point for Spotify. You will not negotiate more. No sign up bonus. No yearly bonus. Also no extra stock. Unless you get a promo. An avarage yearly salary increase is about 3%. If that works for you. Spotify is great
Could push a bit more on the RSUs
Need to pick for at least 500/4
I agree, but idk if Spotify would go for that.
Damn how did you get senior with only 3.5 years?
Leetcode
Aside from coding questions, Spotify also asks technical non-coding questions. So if all OP did was practice problems on Leetcode, I don’t see how that would’ve helped them reach senior
Does Spotify do annual rsu refreshers for years 1-4?
Op can you share your interview experience?
Sure, 1 phone round: Past experience + basic concepts + 1 coding - LC easy Onsite: Coding: 2 LC mediums Case study: Live debugging of prod issue System design: standard Managerial: standard Was done pretty quick!
Thanks
Are you going with RSU or options?
@Spotify, can I dm? I have an offer from Spotify as well
Interestingly I have a similar offer from Spotify on the table. The recruiter told me RSU refreshes were a thing but it sounds like they are not as much of a safe bet as they are at Apple. Still, a bit of WLB and remote seems worth it.
Are you not happy at Apple currently?
Nope, my team is alright but I can’t stand the product I’m working on and the tech is uninteresting. Unfortunately switching teams can be weird and political.
Rsu annual or over time?
TC indicates it is across 4 years.
Yeah, updated the post.
