Hello Leetcoders,
I have two offers in hand. Current role got impacted due to RIF.
PayPal, Chennai (SDE3) =>
TC - 28 BASE + 2.8 Anuual Bonus + 10 LPA RSUs yearly (No Relocation and JB)
Role - Backend Engineer (Java)
Series D Startup, Bangalore =>
TC - 35 BASE + 2 JB ( + Relocation Support)
Role - Platform Engineer (Cloud + Infra + Go/Python)
Which one should i select ?
PayPal Pros :
- I'm targeting to join FAANG at senior level in 1.5-2 Yrs. Some WLB in PayPal might help here during preparation.
- Will PayPal add more value to my resume.
- I have heard PayPal has good refreshers every year. Is it true ?
PayPal Cons :
- Recent LayOffs
- I'm being lowballed for SDE3 position. Not ready to negotiate.
- Chennai as location - Very hot and humid climate ( But I feel somehow good to keep me on my workdesk and focused for my FAANG preparations Lol ;)
Startup Pros:
- Higher Fixed Component
- Cutting age tech
- Rapid Growth, High Learning Curve and New tech stack to explore
Startup Cons:
- WLB may take a hit
- Future Goals might impact
Please provide your valuable suggestions. I'll share my interview exp soon. Thanks !
