over employed

#

interesting

#

how does this even work

#

dont u need to be in person for bb

#

wont pinterest detect that you're doing work on bb premises?

clear forum
#

sorry this is unrelated but what was pin RO rate last summer?

#

I would personally go Stripe here given entrepreneurial aspirations etc

#

I feel like that would be the name most valued in those circles

nocturne hare
#

meta stress is insane tho

#

but OE can be career ending

#

i think OE is better if it works out but risks are massive

#

i think the gains are great

#

great TC, great WLB

#

if risks are managed, then it's prob better

#

but risks are massive i think

#

meta e5 beats this i think

#

but stress is significantly more

#

bb is senior y3?

#

wat

nocturne hare

#

im pretty sure it's 450 with refreshers

verbal steeple
#

its 400 with refresher

#

At least internal promo

nocturne hare
#

i thought meta refreshers are 80k per y

verbal steeple
#

That mapped it out

#

What is Bloomberg even doing on this list

nocturne hare
#

sry, great wlb compared to options at meta/stripe

#

i think meta and stripe are actually worse (crazy to think about lol)

#

idk i heard meta stripe is 70 hrs and ur camping slack from 9 to 9

#

could be wrong tbh

#

i do remember hearing that it was team/org dependent

#

monetization/RL/genAI/ads have this i think

shut rock
#

Whoa 380 fy is like optiver lmao

stray flicker
#

hey, could i dm... want to talk about pin and bb

nocturne hare
#

overemployed

half isle
#

Pinterest + Bloomberg might get you an 8 hour work day

#

No work at either

#

Unless ur ads at pin

summer estuary
#

i’d argue on avg OE is worse wlb tho for sure

#

unless pin is fr 15-20 hours/week

#

stripe wins imo with ur goals

#

i think ur overall stress will be similar for all these (prob worse for OE unless what ik abt pin is false), so it depends on ur #1 priority:

company -> stripe
internal growth -> meta
money early -> OE

summer estuary
#

also when evaluating WLB consider for urself how efficient u are w ur own time. at meta i saw people on the same team with similar expectation and one was person doing 40/week while another was 60/week bc the latter was just less efficient with their work hours. if u have ur own systems to make sure u focus I don't think your wlb would be that bad at meta or stripe (can't speak too much abt stripe though, haven't been there)

nocturne hare
#

ye real

#

how tf is he gonna do this

summer estuary
#

also yea wtf LOL

#

thought bb was remote

nocturne hare
#

can i dm @minor echo

#

i thought bb was in person

summer estuary
#

what would u do for the 2 in person days though if u have a meeting for pin?

#

just like hop in a room for it?

#

u would have to go into a room alone without a bb meeting booked ig and hope no one wants the room

#

idt the risk is worth for OE

#

at least personally i would be paranoid all the time

#

nothing tbh if i wanted money i'd just grind at meta without the paranoia

#

unless it's like

#

1 mil idk

#

Are you sure Pinterest rsu is right?

#

Isn’t it 50/33/17

#

so first yr is ~230?

#

do they let you pick which option you want?

#

I’m inc pin intern

#

oh okay nice

summer estuary
glossy dove
#

I’m a remote intern rn 💀 dyt i can get like sf or seattle or nyc office for ft if i get ro @minor echo

summer estuary
#

have u tried running the number w avg rates or return?

#

like how much earlier would u realistically retire

sacred slate
#

If you do end up taking BB you can negotiate it up btw

summer estuary
#

idt this is worth it honestly unless it's oe for a short amount of time. I think u would be better off getting a coast job near retirement to cover expenses until the rest compounds to 5 mil in a few years

#

how logn were u thinking of doing both jobs

sacred slate
#

He def can

#

With offers like this

#

They’re high enough

#

Anyways u can definitely get 17k more in bonus if u just ask

#

U can probably get a sign on but yeah not guaranteed

#

My friend had Google offer and got a sign on

#

Idk if it helps if you show u have multiple rlly good offers

glossy dove
#

@minor echo I think OE is too risky, I would take stripe or meta

#

if he gets caught he loses both jobs though

#

no?

summer estuary
#

only one job would find out at once tho right

#

so you'd get fired for that

#

unless they tell the other

glossy dove
#

You can’t list both on your resume anyways because ur next company will flag u during bg check ?

summer estuary
#

idt working OE will get u to generational wealth anyways, u would need to start a business or get some really strong upside from an early stage

glossy dove
#

Like yu can’t put this on ur resume because ull get rj no?

Bloomberg (Sep 2026 - May 2026)
Pinterest (Sep 2026 - May 2026)

#

yea this matters a lot

#

ppl have diff definitions

glossy dove
#

5-10m isn’t gen wealth imo

#

maybe like 15-20

#

you can reach 10 mil by 35 if u just work at meta and invest smart btw

summer estuary
#

what's it for 3M

#

since that's the difference

#

i mean ur reaching it either way then

#

if u consider 20+ to be gen wealth

#

7% accounts for inflation

#

if ur rlly fast promo and invest a shit ton maybe?

#

but idt it's realistic

#

if u had 2 remote jobs OE would be more feasible but w bb being in person idk

glossy dove
#

ah yeah it’s more like 3M at 30 oops if u just max ur mega back door and nothing else

summer estuary
#

someone calc'd a below avg promo timeline at meta would be 1m in 6 years on a blog

#

3m by 30 for above avg seems to track

glossy dove
#

Tbh

#

If you have 50m

#

you’re good for the next several generations unless u don’t want them to work a job either

#

and they know how to use it properly

summer estuary
#

i think the years u shave off ur lifespan from oe would hold more value 🤣

glossy dove
#

if u withdraw 3% per yr at 20M that’s like 600k

#

that’s a full quant salary

#

if u spend it properly u can def be fine af

#

Just don’t buy yachts and shit

summer estuary
#

also consider u dont need to keep living in hcol once u retire

glossy dove
#

I think tbh

#

Work at stripe or meta and then try to jump to quant

#

But if u can take the risk, go for OE

#

if u get promoted at Pinterest ull clear 500k/yr

#

Bb is a coast place anyways

#

Nah, quant is still higher

summer estuary
#

yea my e7 coworker said quant swe wouldn't beat his

glossy dove
#

Fwiw, ik someone working at JS and they told him that most swes reach 1m tc in 4-5 yrs

#

and after that it diverges (some stay at 1m, others go up etc)

#

and js rarely fires people

#

but this is like top of the top firm so idk

#

Need staff level to reach 1m tc

#

in which case ur wlb prob worse than js

#

That being said, u lose almost 50% to taxes in nyc

#

so ur take home is 500k

#

but you’re in nyc anyways for bb

#

If you just want to purely money max then quant is where to be yeah

#

Yeah

#

Js / hrt/ cit were like 300k in 2021 or 2022

#

now they’re all 650k

#

first yr

summer estuary
#

what does more senior recurring quant swe tc look like?

summer estuary
#

wonder if u should look at which of these are the most likely for a quant exit

#

since that'll prob make the most diff in $ over ur career right

#

yea true

#

just go meta honestly if u want to grind i think it'll give u best ROI without the risk of OE

#

or stripe depending on what exactly u value

timid mauve
#

Think the move is to do bb in person and pinterest remote

#

2 jobs at once

fervent agate
#

if ur aspiring to enjoy ur 20s wouldn't oe not be the move then?

#

when you account for stress of 2 jobs and assuming that having good performance in both jobs at the same time isn't trivial, u would still be working hella in ur 20s without rly enjoying the benefits of nyc

#

no clue if this would still happen if u were at meta or stripe but i would think that u would be working a bit less?

#

Bro it’s Bloomberg

elfin perch
#

what is overemploymet lol

#

is that a company

#

💀😩

split flower
#

outside of bloomberg, at all ur options i think ur better off having one job and grinding it / going above and beyond over having two jobs and putting mid effort at both. Tech promos (esp at meta) scale your tc really fast so u will probs edn up making more in the long run through that than being over employed

elfin perch
#

😩🤣

mental lichen
#

But do you think you can manage 10 years of OEgladge

nocturne hare
#

companies allow for OE?

#

what about full time

nocturne hare
#

they for sure will

summer estuary
#

u should consider meta’s multipliers

#

if ur promoing that quick ur def getting ge

#

which is a 1.65x multiplier to ur refresher for that year and bonus

#

ee is 1.25

#

re is 2.5x

#

there’s also a company wide multiplier for bonuses depending on howbthey perform for the year

#

oh u mentioned after, idt u can promo like that without ge ratings

#

or at least ee

kind stone
#

your offer letter with bloomberg explicitly does not allow you to have a second job

#

you will also have 6 weeks of training in the beginning which requires 9am-5pm 5 days a week

#

this is incredibly stupid and you will get fired immediately

timid mauve
#

OP do u have brain damage

#

Genuinely asking

#

Dudes willing to risk it all for an extra 100k like he’s not already making 200k 😂
