Seems like currently only abnb and dropbox are offering remote positions for swe. Does anyone have any experience with interviewing with them or working there as virtual? Hows the pay? Is it easy to even get an interview yet alone the offer? Im assuming right now most swe are looking for remote so they must be in demand Tc 300k

I work at Dropbox, spouse works at airbnb. Not easy to get interviews or offers IMO. I’ve referred many and only had one hired, same with my spouse. Airbnb def pays more than Dropbox. I found the interview process to be really top notch at Dropbox and felt the recruiters were really forthcoming and invested in helping you succeed. Been enjoying our virtual first model. Both of us have fairly regular offsite meetings with our team so we still get to see people in person.
Hey thanks for the tip. Why do u think its not easy to get interviews or offers? As being from big tech would i have not a decent chance of getting an interview?
Just less positions imo. Although I do think my Dropbox interview was harder than my Amazon, but lots of people from Amazon have passed our interviews so 🤷♂️
Dropbox and Airbnb are definitely not the only companies doing remote with decent comp. Nvidia, Netflix, Pinterest, among others offer remote. That said, AFAIK we’re mainly only hiring staff and above with some exceptions. In general we haven’t really grown headcount which is a blessing in that we haven’t done layoffs. On the flip side it means some teams are wildly understaffed. In any case, your best shot is if you have a former coworker at one of these companies. Referrals you haven’t worked with end up in the trash pile unless you’re URM or hot shit.
Even with internal referrals it can be difficult at Dropbox. Not one of my referrals has made it all the way through, and only 1 has even gotten past the resume screening.
They are only hiring abroad
only Dropbox and Airbnb 🤡
Who else? 🤡
