Can anyone share the wfh/rto plans of Twitter Blr and Google Hyd offices/teams? I am trying to decide between the two and given the covid situation, this would be a crucial factor.

How is the situation trending? Managers leaning towards forcing employees to be back or letting them choose?

Also, same question for Msft folks as well. Any insights now for India specifically?

TC: 63LINR/ 85KUSD
YOE: 6

  • G won't give you a chance to interview for L5 at 6 yoe without solid offers such as FB or stellar L4 interviews. T senior might be slightly better in scope but engineerimg wise twtr is shit nowadays. Honestly I also joined thinking will get to work on complex distributed systems but to realize stupid politics and literally stupid leads/managers till PEs/DRs. It could be just my team and other teams might not be this bad, so you need to evaluate your team specifically but hiring bar in general is way lower than G for sure.

      Can I DM you to know the team? Are you based our of India as well?

      My experience is almost 7, but yeah. Bad situation. Don't really know whether I should stay back and wait for a promo here; or go out, learn different tech, and work on a promo at G OR use Twitter to solve that as it does have slightly higher scope

  • Most companies including G and Twtr will have to provide WFH for 2021 in India.

    Twitter will not give permanent WFH in India. It's only for US and that also at your managers discretion. It's more of a PR thing. IMO G is definitely better than Twtr if TC is same atleast they will follow policy.

    • T senior == G L4
      Twitter titles are inflated and I have seen staffs/Sr staffs who are morons. G is conservative with levels so it comes down to TC.

      Oh. Levels.fyi showed differently. Just minor overlap of top of L4 G with senior T. So, i assumed that to be true. And even the TCs at levels kind of supported the same. Because if I take G and even if they give top of band TC; growth wise I would still be considered as a fresh L4. And I have been sde2 for 4+ years now at Amazon
