1. Nike Senior Product Support Engineer Hybrid on-site, 165-170k Base+Bonus(negotiating), 10k sign on “In this critical role as a Sr. Product Support Engineer, you will act as the escalated responder to incidents and the last stop before the engineering team must get involved.” • Responsible for responding to, remediating, and working to resolve escalated incidents on behalf of the platform engineering team • Take action on continuous improvements through operational or code changes on behalf of the platform teams • Provide clear communication in incident tickets to ensure external communications are clear and historical records are clear On-site 3 days/week kinda sucks but I would actually like the Nike culture so not necessarily a dealbreaker, seems like I would learn some dev ops also. One thing to consider is that I live in the middle of fucking nowhere in Tennessee so this would be a big cost of living increase. 2. SaaS Pre-sales engineer (cybersecurity) Remote, TC:183-186k. Breakdown is 136 base, 36 team based variable,11k RSU’s/year <— uplevel may give a little more Seems like a standard solutions/sales engineer role with lots of demoing and poc’s. I’ve never done this before but could be nice career progression and a BIG TC boost. Company has an ok product but good culture/management. 3. Not FAANG but T1/2(think Dropbox/Square level) Support/Tooling Engineer Remote, TC:138k Base/bonus/RSU’s This is my current role, but I was previously just support. Job is ok and company is great, but low pay so I grabbed external offers and told my manager I was leaving. They offered immediate TC bump(I was making 115k) and gave me an interview for SWE. Failed it, but they said I showed enough promise to move me into a hybrid role with 20 hours a week on support tickets and 20 hours a week embedded with the tooling team building out internal tools. Not excited about support tickets or taking a counteroffer(heard this is fucking risky) but the tooling team is great and I would learn from top tier engineers. Could hopefully transition to full-time tooling/swe in a year or two, but no guarantee. Risky to count on something that might not happen. Honestly blind, I’m not as smart as most of you. I dropped out of college and to this day have 0 formal swe experience outside of a boot camp. I think the only algorithm I could solve perfectly right now would be a binary search or 2 sums. Basically, I just tinkered with enough things to pick up some skills and in interviews I let the people know I’m not an asshole and will work hard. Goals: Taking the long term approach, I’d like a TC of 250k in 5 years, working <40 hrs week. Not too risky of a job.

Where is Nike at? Portland?
Yes sir/ma’am. The other two are full time remote, Nike is at HQ 3 days a week, remote the other two.
Would depend on your flexibility. But #3 sounds great as they want to develop you. I also think you'd learn more/better with on the job training.
Nike in the lead lol? Moving to a higher COL location for less money?
Role 1 sounds like you literally do nothing except respond to on calls?
Man I honestly have no idea, I just added the role responsibilities because I’m still fucking confused myself.
It sounds like a company with a 3 tiered support system. First tier answers calls with a guide on how to resolve common issues, next tier has some engineering background to find the solution, and the last tier are the developers who will find a solution or create one. It sounds like that position is a mid-tier IT support role for customers. Would you enjoy that type of role?
