Got PayPal offer currently L5 AS with 7 years of experience in ML. How would you compare them and the culture, WLB, brand. Would you recommend accept?
Wtf about applied scientist? Are you stephen hawkings?
PayPal has no office in Seattle Once new CEO is in, there’s going to be RTO enforced pretty soon
How the heck is your Amazon Offer so low?
No growth in Amazon :(
It’s a no brainer. I would’ve taken it over Amazon even if the TC was same.
100% PayPal dogged base @ Amazon and a sign on of 30k is fire
PayPal is in turn around time. Best time to be in PayPal Equity will almost double. Their new ceo is 🔥
If you have a PhD, both offers are too low.
I have a question - Why is this even a question?
First of all, Congrats on your offer. My 2 cents here, please don't go to PayPal. You'll regret the decision and will be looking for opportunity in < 6 months time. Switching teams at PayPal is not as easy as Amazon and culture is much worse. I know a lot of Blinder's are critical of Amazon, but PayPal's culture is much worse. I worked at PayPal for nearly 6 years before jumping to Amazon and I know a lot of PayPal folks desperately looking for opportunities outside. It's just a question of time before PayPal does another round of mass layoffs to increase their stock value. Again your mileage may vary, the team you're going to could actually be good. $100K definitely looks enticing but how much value does it add to your resume? Definitely going to a company like Netflix or Google will be worth much more than PayPal. Keep looking for opportunities.
Yes, I will keep looking. I have to leave Amazon and it's PIP culture. isn't WLB at PayPal better than Amazon. I prefer layoff over PIP's anytime.
It highly depends on the team. Moving to L6 will workout for you better in the long run. Have a discussion with your manager and identify projects that will get you a promotion. If you're really interested in FinTech, then look for opportunities in Square, Stripe etc. PayPal used to be a leader 15 years back, not any more. Culture is also not that great.
WLB? Brand? The TC is off by 100k and your base by 50k. Fuck AMZN
Yes, Amzn is fucking things up too much these days.
