I have preliminary acceptance for both LinkedIn at staff and google at “senior” L5. prelim meaning my packet is ready for HC but HC hasnt met yet.

what are your thoughts on TC, WLB, long term prospects? my gut says G is the safer bet but more likely to be a cog in the machine.

current tc: 315k
yoe: 15

    G probably better long term prospects because everyone thinks having that means something still, even though you are right cog in the machine. Both TCs will be close assuming G can come close to matching LI after initial lowball. Both great wlb probably 2 of the best in all of the bay

      Wow lol... G is not what it used to be that’s for sure, but hey I guess they are relying on their name to attract all the guys that are still delusional

      Can confirm. I had offers from both and G didn’t even match all the way despite providing paper proof.

    Having worked at both, I would prefer LI a tad bit more over G. There is a remote possibility at Li that as a staff you may hold an important role since staff is a much wider band at Li, ie. Senior staff at LI > Staff (L6) at G. However the starting bar is probably even lower than G's L5, there are very immature 3 year out of college staffs at Li.

    • I witnessed 3 yrs NCG LI Staff. The guy is smart though. But with more and more less experienced Staff here, I’m worried that LI Staff title is a joke in Bay Area LOL

  • 100% go to Google. LinkedIn is wannabe Google, might as well go for the real thing.
