If your priority is pay and wlb, Pinterest is the best bc of remote

#

that being said if you want to be in nyc, all of these are basically the same $ after taxes

#

Uber arguably has the highest prestige and res value

#

but even then it’s pretty equal

#

personally would go uber or pins

floral reef
#

pinterest pays more

stoic kestrel
#

Pinterest l4 (ic14) pays more than uber l4

#

by like 40k

#

on levels

#

so if ur gonna stay 2-3 yrs it’s a consideration to make

green stump
#

isnt pin dying

floral reef
#

no

stoic kestrel
#

u should optimize for long term tc rather than starting tc, since you’ll only be "starting" in your first 1-2 yrs

#

though starting tc is also important

#

@plush lava

#

pins is 230k fy iirc

floral reef
#

pinterest has 600 million monthly active users,

#

def not dying

#

strawman

stoic kestrel
#

uber has 1/5 the amount of users but its engineering problems are definitely more complex imo

#

Unless you’re gonna stay at one of these for 3+ years, I’d take whichever you think u would like more

floral reef
#

uber is sub 200 ng

#

take pin

stoic kestrel
#

Wow i thought they paid the same anywhere

floral reef
#

can prolly nego for more tbh

stoic kestrel
#

Can’t your office just be seattle but then move remotely to another location lol

floral reef
#

prolly

stoic kestrel
#

most teams are full remote anyways

#

In the rare event you need to come in every 2 mos, just fly to office

#

they have an office in nyc tho, prob pay highest band their as well anyways

floral reef
#

stoic kestrel

stoic kestrel
#

floral reef
#

not sure tbh

stoic kestrel
#

actually yeah it’s not bad if this person isn’t capping

floral reef
#

prolly negiotated

#

thats not standard to anything ive seen

#

hm

#

ig pay will be basically the same actually

#

just decide which 1 ud prefer

#

uber has more potential in terms of stock

#

unless pinterest surges for whatever reason

plush lava
floral reef
#

idt its better in resume value

#

ud have to know the team to decide that

#

pinterest monetization is a good team i believe?

stoic kestrel
#

Monetization is the org

#

Don’t get team until 6-8 weeks before start

#

Why is Uber winning here

#

OP if you want NYC than take BB its guaranteed NYC and 200k

#

RO is like 95%+ as well

#

I wouldnt take Pins or Uber over BB if location is that important to you for marginal res value

stoic kestrel
#

i couldve sworn it said uber (nyc) at first

floral reef

tf

#

😭

slow ice
#

how good is the ads team - ie ads ranking/conversion?

plush lava
slow ice
#

i see for some reason i got placed on the team the interviewer/manager was on directly

arctic estuary
#

if you want nyc ft just go bloomberg

#

guaranteed ro

#

even if pin is remote the RO rate isnt good i think
