Amazon vs Stubhub

[weak parcel]

Stubhub pays a lot more than Amazon no?

To the point where it's not even close?

Good luck in ur proc bro

[livid sluice]

I mean the JD says 120-150k tho

idk where its getting base is 215k cuz its nowhere close

[weak parcel]

That might be base salary

I'm sure the stock package is generous

[livid sluice]

maybe

[weak parcel]

Numbers on Levels are never entirely accurate but they do provide a relative ballpark

[livid sluice]

I mean here theyre saying base is 166

or 215

which is weird

like this one here

has the imsge of 0xp

[weak parcel]

And if the relative ballpark is 250k for L3 then it's probably like ~230 at worst

[livid sluice]

in the image I sent their base is like 124-160 which is more reasonable

[blissful nova]

get the offer first

[livid sluice]

I have one round left im j evaluating cuz they want me to start asap

[blissful nova]

just see the salary after

[livid sluice]

I doubt its higher than Amazon tho im thinking I can use amazin to neg

[weak parcel]

U don't really wanna work at zon

Trust

[livid sluice]

yeah ik 😭

[livid sluice]

just apply to all the la companies lol

I didnt get the offer for the one yet

[livid sluice]

u never know maybe there is something better waiting for u

[shadow cave]

STUBHUB 🔥🔥

[livid sluice]

LOL why

[shadow cave]

zon hamster wheel prison

[cold crag]

😅

[livid sluice]

[split sky]

U will b happier without zon

Saying this as a current ft at zon

[livid sluice]

[hybrid sail]

avoid amazon like the plague

• L5 Amazon SDE here

[livid sluice]

damn💀

[hollow vapor]

Every zon new grad ik wants to dip 😭

[hybrid sail]

nuh huh - i'm active on Amazon internal slack channel, Blind channel - the sentiment is clear

idk man - maybe i'm angry to be RIF-ed after 4 years of service - sue me

[urban garnet]

how is recruiting with zon on ur resume?

[split sky]

Solid but kinda hard in this market

havent applied too much. But blox n goog procs

My coworker got snowflake proc, 1.5 yoe

[hollow vapor]

Zons pretty decent was able to get roblox stripe uber bloomberg ng interviews w zon internship

Google too but that mightve been thru referral

[urban garnet]

How are ng interviews compared to internship interviews

[hollow vapor]

Idk if its comparable, the companies i interviewed for intern werent as good as the ones for ng

For the ng company i listed, in my exp u have to do pretty well every round, one bad round = reject

[timber jetty]

does stubhub sponsor?

[urban garnet]

How many rounds were there? And how was their diffuclty? Like lc hard?

[hollow vapor]

Depends on company, u can look online

Itx pretty accurate

[urban garnet]

How was google and uber

[hollow vapor]

Tm for g, rejected for uber

I think uber stack ranks after all rounds

[urban garnet]

Damn how were the interviews?

[hollow vapor]

It was good when the interviewers liked me and bad they didnt 😂

[urban garnet]

Did you pass any interviews where ur technical wasn't perfect but the vibe was good?

[livid sluice]

that was stubhub tech for me

genuinely thought i failed but ig I did well enough or communicated enough that they passed

[livid sluice]

im assuming ur working ft rn at zon and are looking to jump ship somewhere else right

[hollow vapor]

Yessir lol, currently in tm so hopefully that pans out 🤞

[hollow vapor]

Good vibes -> lc med -> pass, i dont think there were any good vibe rounds that i failed

[livid sluice]

dang zon treating u that bad? I keep changing between going to zon or stubhub cuz im afriad having zon intern but sh full time looks bad like I didn't get a RO

[hollow vapor]

Honestly not bad rn, but i havent been oncall yet and ik thats going to be buns

[livid sluice]

nah my teams on call is bad tbh my intern project was to improve oncall

[hollow vapor]

I was recruiting heavily between internship -> ft bc i didnt have a great intern experience

[livid sluice]

damn

[hollow vapor]

Hell naww 😭

Also stubhub 250k right?

[livid sluice]

bro my mentor deadass asked me if I knew other companies to work for in our city

cuz he was lowkey looking so like for me that's a red flag

[hollow vapor]

Thats crazy bro holy

[livid sluice]

so yeah turns out they give like 125k grant annual

[hollow vapor]

Goated

[livid sluice]

i don't really trust or look at that part of tc tho

but its not like zon stock is improving

[hollow vapor]

Yeah i dont rly have opinion on zon stock, other than i wouldnt bank on it

[hollow vapor]

How come? Is not guaranteed every year

I think ive seen another stubhub offer here u could ask them if u feel like its sketch

[livid sluice]

idk much about stocks tbh🤣

but im just looking at base for now

[hollow vapor]

Ohh i misread

[livid sluice]

yeah I wouldn't buy it

[hollow vapor]

Yeah lol

[hollow vapor]

U mean u dont trust stubhub stock?

Thats fair lol

[livid sluice]

yea

[hollow vapor]

Down 70% last year damn 😭

[livid sluice]

they did go public in sep 25

[hollow vapor]

Ohh i see

[livid sluice]

so I think apparnetly its normal for a compaby stock to go down when it just went public

[hollow vapor]

Will probably stabilize now then right

Idk how it works tho

[livid sluice]

I honestly care more that the work is interesting and its hybrid and my managwr is super friendly and chill

[wild copper]

congratulations on stubhub

stubhub >> amazon imo

[livid sluice]

bro🤣

u just kept telling someone to go aws over ibm

[wild copper]

thats completely different

[livid sluice]

how bro ibm is big

[wild copper]

if he didn’t bomb stubhub today he would’ve chosen stubhub over ibm n aws

[wild copper]

big doesn’t mean high aura

[livid sluice]

what

why

sh just went public and stock is down lol

[wild copper]

stock doesn’t mean that much if u r just an ng swe

my company’s stock is going down too

[hollow vapor]

I agree stubhub > aws >> ibm

[wild copper]

not at the rock bottom tho

[livid sluice]

I'm genuinely curious

like what factors are u guys looking at

[livid sluice]

then what do u look at

I'm scared the company will fail lmao 💀

half of the tc is stocks tho

cuz of stocks

[wild copper]

money tc long term growth and prestige

[wild copper]

whats the base for la?

[livid sluice]

I think for both la and NYc is 120 or sum idk

[wild copper]

look at the base and bonuses stock is just a trap

[livid sluice]

yeah I thought prestige/name is amazon and ibm

[livid sluice]

yeah ik

[wild copper]

u have ibm too?

[livid sluice]

LOL

[livid sluice]

no i don't but why is ibm bad

ye its a ticket selling platform lol

[wild copper]

ibm has lower bar n lower bar

ye

[livid sluice]

what

[wild copper]

yea

[livid sluice]

I only good thig about sh is u can learn a lot cuz a lot of the ppl there are ex-big tech

[wild copper]

this is aura

[livid sluice]

I would but zon has 2 rumored layoffs

and I don't wanna recruit again

[livid sluice]

like ibm hires anybody?

[wild copper]

zon will never fail as a company but u might get laid off anw

[livid sluice]

yeah exactly

also don't feel like working 7 am - 7 pm

[wild copper]

yes

[wild copper]

yes

[livid sluice]

oh and the dumb rto5 thing, for me id have to relocate

[wild copper]

yeah considering all that stubhub is better

[livid sluice]

again the only thing is having SH as NG and AWS as intern cuz it'd show i didn't get a RO

how do u tell companies I just dont wanna work at a toxic company 💀

[wild copper]

no one cares

only cscd shenanigans care and they aren’t the recruiters

also

[livid sluice]

LMAOO

[wild copper]

if u choose sth lower aura like ibm that @whole dawn is going for, then u had to worry but u should be good w sh

[livid sluice]

💀💀💀

[wild copper]

like ro thing

[livid sluice]

nah why u shading ray

deadass?

I considered putting it on resume as a part of "results"

💀

[wild copper]

its fine everyone has their reasons

[livid sluice]

tbf his reasons were fair

he's saving if he doesn't relocate

[wild copper]

he’s relocating from LA to bay

if he chooses ibm

but yeah everyone has different priorities and preferences

[livid sluice]

I see

tbf Denver

without friends

sucjs

or like living anywhere without knowing anyone (excluding nyc)

[wild copper]

u can always make new friends

[livid sluice]

true ig just depends on loc

[wild copper]

im living without friends in bay and it does suck ngl

[livid sluice]

r ur friends in socal

[livid sluice]

tbh tho this is hard if u have no social hobbies at all

[wild copper]

yea lol

[wild copper]

yea true

[livid sluice]

ik some ppl game as a hobby which sucks if u cant find ppl who play the same game lol

[wild copper]

i was in denver for summer for internship and was managed to make a lotta friends there! but internship and working full time is a lotta different story

[wild copper]

yeah

[livid sluice]

true I have plans to do while working ft but idk how to plan it well cuz work is 8 hrs or sum

u work ft right?

how do u manage it 💀

[wild copper]

i have plenty of free time after work

[livid sluice]

do u typically finish at 5

[wild copper]

like 2-3 hrs but nothing to do and nowhere to go bc the traffic is crazy bad during happy hours

[whole dawn]

Stubhub ez

@wild copper mf wants me in denver

[wild copper]

i am just telling you that aws is better

and denver aint that bad u alr interned there

[whole dawn]

I alrdy know that but it’s more than prestige or comp for me

All my friends in the bay, I fit there more, and I can commute to my gf every so often

I needed stubhub tho but I trolled interview today sadge

[livid sluice]

oh ur in a relationship

[livid sluice]

rip but u can still recruit cuz im p sure there are companies still recruiting for LA

doesn't ibm have LA office

[whole dawn]

Idt ibm has la office

[wild copper]

just renege everything and stay in LA, keep recruiting until u find sth in LA

[whole dawn]

You right but Im not passing any interviews for la offices rip

Failed spacex onsite, TikTok, now prob gonna fail stubhub after today’s intv

[livid sluice]

bro no the best thing he could do is join aws and internal tranafer to la

the issue is this takes time and idk how guaranteed la is

but there's a lot of work in LA so u might find a team

[whole dawn]

Yeah imma continue job hunting grind don’t stop

[livid sluice]

I mean i failed but I passed, the issue is some roles r filling up alr

[whole dawn]

@livid sluice what did you choose

[livid sluice]

wdym

[whole dawn]

You talking about stubhub right?

[livid sluice]

yes

ik diff ppl recruiting for different teams, two of them r recruting for ur team

[whole dawn]

You made this thread between zon and stubhub right

[livid sluice]

I mean i signed both 🤣

[whole dawn]

Lol same

[livid sluice]

but tbh im prob reneging zon

[whole dawn]

I signed ibm and zon

That’s good imma do the same too prob lmao

[livid sluice]

zon doesnt care about renege tbh

I like SH rto3 too

like genuiely how does zon have productive employees doing rto5 is crazy to me

[livid sluice]

yeah like again it depends on ur circumstances

I told a zon coworker and he was like it better be a better offer

lol

[wild copper]

wdym u failed but u passed?

[livid sluice]

oh mb I mean I didn't do all the requirements but they moved me along

i did have this thru referral

so that might have weighed

cuz apparently sh looks at specific universities first

if ur not from those uni's without referral forget about it

[wild copper]

wow we r there?

[livid sluice]

no

:/

[wild copper]

fml

[livid sluice]

yeah rip

hey yk what

ending up at big tech companies out of schools that are not in this list is p aura

when i interned at zon only me and someone else on my team was for ucsb

rest were at like

Cornell, UCB, caltech, MIT Princeton or sum,

[wild copper]

umm 🤔 im international so its either big tech or bust for me lol

[livid sluice]

oh 💀

[wild copper]

companies like ibm doesn’t hire intls

[livid sluice]

they dont sponsor???

no way 💀

[wild copper]

nope

[whole dawn]

Damn you from ucsb

Ik quite a bit of ppl that go there

[whole dawn]

You’re just 🐐

[livid sluice]

[whole dawn]

[livid sluice]

[livid sluice]

[whole dawn]

[wild copper]

gooning is what got u

[wild copper]

i mean was it from a recruiter?

or just a regular invite to apply?

[livid sluice]

uhh I'm not even sure

I think it was cuz I applied before to some other role

[livid sluice]

this

[wild copper]

oh that doesn’t have any aura sorry for being brutally honest

but one day

Google will be there

its rng

def doable

[livid sluice]

LOL

[livid sluice]

yeah atp ill just focus on gaining experience

then try Google again

I think ng is way more competitive

[wild copper]

lets see

the people who got ai catalyst were very high aura people

[livid sluice]

😭

[wild copper]

like ex oai interns, js interns

[livid sluice]

ohh

tbf i had no ai experience

I had no hope for that one anyways

idek what ai exp they wanted
