LinkedIn (RO) vs Applied Intuititon vs Bloomberg

[rigid lark]

linkedin

but if u really really care abt nyc bloomberg

applied shouldnt be in consideration

[stiff anchor]

What’s the base for applied intuition and did they give u a sign-on bonus? Everything else is paper money

I mean it seems like u just want to be in nyc

Then go with Bloomberg

Honestly lwk confused over all the Bloomberg glaze. Zon literally pays more lol

[silver heron]

what's the team for applied intuition

[finite verge]

wait what

i thought reoccurring for linkedin was 204k

but orz

applied intuition lowkey orz

its between that and linkedin tbh

[rigid lark]

zon pays the exact same

for nyc

stop spreading misinformation

[rigid lark]

shit company

[cerulean haven]

wtf 240

[cerulean haven]

Grats on Bloomberg

[rigid lark]

read up the reviews on AI

[cerulean haven]

Don’t need to

[stiff anchor]

That’s my point

[rigid lark]

so how does it pay “more”

[stiff anchor]

My pt is Bloomberg pay is kinda ass for how much its hype

[rigid lark]

how is 200k “ass”

[open musk]

isnt applied intuition 203k nonnegotiable

thats what my rec told me

[serene cairn]

^ yeah that's not the number i got in my first call lol

[rigid lark]

levels shows 240-250

but 90k is paper

[open musk]

yeah my rec said “131k base 50k stock”

[stiff anchor]

What’s the base

[open musk]

nonnegotiable

plus my friend who got offer

[serene cairn]

@open musk are you in the proc rn

[rigid lark]

155

[open musk]

im in proc ye

[rigid lark]

unless company goes public ur getting paid less

[serene cairn]

can i dm you about it?

[open musk]

fs

i would linkedib

[stiff anchor]

So $90K can just be used for toilet paper damn

Base is not bad tho

[open musk]

they have good liquidity

[rigid lark]

?

do they offer

[stiff anchor]

Applied intuition doesn’t have liquidity

[rigid lark]

liquidity events

[open musk]

yearly liquidity events

still go linkedin tho

[serene cairn]

sent friend request square

[cerulean haven]

Yeah how u get 240

[finite verge]

• what being on cscd does to a mf

[silver heron]

depends on team but yeah prolly go linkedin

[rigid lark]

he said "most like"

im assuming he hasnt done it yet

idk whos actually gotten bb to 230

200 seems the cap

she gave u

190 or 200?

[stiff anchor]

Bro is crashing out over like $15k after taxes lol

you make like more than 99% of college grads

With either option

$15k diff is nothing

Where ya goin g

LinkedIn?

Have fun in nyc

[finite verge]

wdym dont u alreadu have the offer?

[finite verge]

be ffr 15k is something

thats like a 3rd of some peoples annual household income

💀

ik some people rn who 15k would change their life

[stiff anchor]

it's not a huge difference for someone right out of college

making $200K anyway

[finite verge]

thats 15k he can pump into the market or invest in activities or put aside for rent

[stiff anchor]

bloomberg prob has better exit opportunities than linkedin

while bb is very stable

[finite verge]

maybe; idk i only say for linkedin for res value

[stiff anchor]

lol i know nyc is expensive but he'll be able to pay rent on a $200K income

bb prob has slightly bette rres value than li

[finite verge]

its not about if hes able to afford rent, it has to do with having extra income that can go towards other things

im just saying 15k is not nothing

esp in this economy

[finite verge]

cap im sorry

70% of ppl choosing li over bb unless youre aiming for quant

or something finance related

[stiff anchor]

i disagree

bb can recruit for other tech just as good as li

and it's much better for quant

[finite verge]

bro scroll up in this chat i dontg think anyone is choosing bb

[stiff anchor]

plus the $15K diff is like something maybe you don't get as nice as a vacation every year

[finite verge]

nah

[finite verge]

this i agree with tho

p much everyone ik has it easy going to quant from bb

not sure why but it is

[stiff anchor]

so there's at best a marginal diff between li and bb for recruiting for other tech

and bb is better for quant

so why choose li?

[finite verge]

dude 15k is like 3 months of rent depending on where you live in nyc lmao

[stiff anchor]

i mean it's 5 months of rent

if u have roommates

[finite verge]

I do not believe there's a marginal diff between link and bb

[stiff anchor]

but still

[finite verge]

i only think theres an exceptional difference between the 2 for quant/finance related roles

which I dont even think this person cares about

its like a niche area that few even consider

[stiff anchor]

it's like let's say your expenses are $60K in nyc, you're still saving like ~$60K after tax and maxing out your 401K with another $23K

it's like you're saving $80K a year lmfao at bb

is $80K vs $95K that much of a diff especially for your first ft job

no

also op said they prefer growth

[finite verge]

Like if you prefer tech breadth, product and user facing features, AI/ML exposure, and flexibility, LinkedIn is 9/10 the better fit.

[stiff anchor]

li barely has ai/ml exposure tho it's crudbob

unless we're saying linkedin employees are mfst employees

which is true

so sure

does linkedin give their employees food or nah?

[finite verge]

do you know what linkedin engineering does

AI Is woven into like every major product service

[stiff anchor]

maintain their crud app

[stiff anchor]

i mean sure li rec and search has gotten better i'll give them that

[finite verge]

how do you think the feed ranking, search and query, or job recommendationss and matching syste works?

[finite verge]

or the ads and moneitzation

or content moderation

or the PYMK algo

😂

[stiff anchor]

bro i fucking work at google i'm aware

[finite verge]

why do i care that you work at google 😂

google is just a search app, who cares lmfao

[stiff anchor]

but bloomberg eng is not good tho?

[finite verge]

see what I did there

[stiff anchor]

google has search, maps, gemini, photos, youtube, research, etc

[finite verge]

yea free lunch breakfast and dinner last I remembered (2022)

[stiff anchor]

4x a week and then bf and lunch on friday i assume right

well honestly if it gives that then maybe li

bloomberg doesn't give food irrc

[finite verge]

the analogy im drawing is that oversimplifying a companys product to a single service or functionality does not discredit the technology they work on

[stiff anchor]

ok sure it's all fun and games

i'm just pointing out bb is better for quant rec

[pallid valve]

applied is the best out of these

[stiff anchor]

bro shut up

chronicles and i were having a nice discussion

and then bro comes in here saying applied paper money is the best out of these

[finite verge]

not just that the engineering there isnt as deep as linkedin. Working on bb terminal just isnt as complex or rigorous as any of the teams at Li im sorry

[finite verge]

bro

[stiff anchor]

ok sure i agree

[kind tree]

linkedin pays 218 cash????

[finite verge]

i agree wholeheartedly

if this person is aiming for quant

[stiff anchor]

i mean some of that is mfst stock but yea it's cash

[finite verge]

or anything fintech related

go for bb

not sure why their name stands out for that area but it just does

[pallid valve]

applied youlla ctualyl get to work on cool stuff thats low level, while the other companies, you wont get that same oportunity

[finite verge]

🤷‍♂️

[kind tree]

wtf lol

thats way higher than i thot

[stiff anchor]

but you make over $50K less?

[finite verge]

for general swe ng its 219k, but for sys infra

i think its like 250k

[kind tree]

thats insane

[stiff anchor]

i think li also has the stock purchase plan

where u can buy mfst stock at a discount

[kind tree]

idet my google ng friend is making that much lol

[stiff anchor]

so u can basically make immediate money off that

[kind tree]

so li pays better than msft

[finite verge]

yea but it comes at the cost of like poor refreshers and slower promos

[stiff anchor]

nah google ng def pays more in sf

[finite verge]

so it evens out

[finite verge]

light years ahead of msft lmao

[pallid valve]

the comp is higher no?

[stiff anchor]

so honestly chronicles i agree with u

li is the move

[kind tree]

how come levels says 150

[finite verge]

in like every regard (not just pay)

[finite verge]

thats the apprentince swe role

like

[stiff anchor]

the base for applied is like $150K. the $90K in stock isn't liquid

[finite verge]

levels isnt accurate

look at ic2

[kind tree]

isnt apprentice ng

[stiff anchor]

nothing on levels is accurate

[pallid valve]

yeah but itll prob go up

[finite verge]

no thats like nontraditional swe role

[pallid valve]

and o=you can get access to that money later after stock appreciates

[stiff anchor]

bro they're not public that's the point

[pallid valve]

base does not mean everything

[stiff anchor]

plus they're in a space with tesla, uber, and waymo

[finite verge]

like li runs a nontraditional swe program and the apprentice role is their "ng" position

[stiff anchor]

i'm saying the stock is paper while you're actually looking at real money with li and bloomberg

[finite verge]

but to sum up id say to OP if your goal is fintech/quant/ go with bb, otherwise go li. Idk much about applied intuition tho

[stiff anchor]

plus applied could also be overvalued too

[finite verge]

but also keep in mind you cant join Li as NG, they hire basically exclusively from intern cohort

[stiff anchor]

li it is then

[cerulean haven]

undervalued

[stiff anchor]

nah tesla will kill them

[cerulean haven]

wow im reading recsys glaze

[sleek flume]

def applied intuition for career growth / learning

they hire very smart people

[stiff anchor]

when i had an interview their EM says they don't care about code quality

don't go to applied

[supple trout]

What is breakup of applied

[stiff anchor]

think applied is $154K base which is pretty good

[supple trout]

Seems like recruiters in initial call are just throwing numbers and seeing what sticks

I was quoted a diff number from what I see others are told

[stiff anchor]

what was your number

also is applied equity in the form of options or stock grant?

rsus?

[supple trout]

Mine was 150 base and recurring 50 stock

[supple trout]

I am not sure of that

Didn’t prod on that much

[supple trout]

A friend was told 130 base

[stiff anchor]

lol

this is in sf right?

[supple trout]

No MTV

I am pretty sure they don’t have sf presence

Coz I mentioned location as an issue

And they said ppl manage with mtv

No mention of sf office if any

[stiff anchor]

oh i meant sf as in sf/bay area

are u taking the offer @supple trout ?

[supple trout]

For now going with meta

[stiff anchor]

oh yea u made a thread about this if i recall

yea obv go to meta lol

the total comp at meta is higher + all liquid

[supple trout]

Nah not a thread, just had commented to ask ur views on stipe vs meta lol

[supple trout]

Yep one redeeming factor

Hopefully team allocation is decent

[old bolt]

Applied is 130 base

Do NOT pick applied over meta wtf 😂

Unless u have a passion for self driving + autonomous
