Which team?

[grizzled breach]

2 teams, google ads and youtube ads

[analog birch]

Which one will you take?

[grizzled breach]

Not sure, I'm still thinking about which one I'll take. Any suggestions are welcome

[analog birch]

Different locations?

[grizzled breach]

both are bay area

[analog birch]

Same tech stack?

[haughty venture]

Do YouTube ads so you can get rid of those fucking 2 x 15 sec unskippable ads

[grizzled breach]

yep, almost similar

[analog birch]

C++

I assume

[grizzled breach]

yes

[analog birch]

Can you describe briefly the projects.

Without revealing too much

Cuz of nda

[grizzled breach]

none of the teams have their projects decided right now

[analog birch]

yt ads name seems more sexy than google ads one

For resume, I would pick yt

If both offers are equivalent on other aspects

[grizzled breach]

Thanks @analog birch, how's your hm going?

[haughty venture]

I think google ads are better if you’re looking to return

[analog birch]

I have my hm interview tomorrow

Yt team

[haughty venture]

YouTube is too volatile especially with ads

[analog birch]

Wdym by volatile?

[grizzled breach]

both are under the ads umbrella, but one of them works specifically for youtube ads. I should be able to return to the same PA (which is ads)

[haughty venture]

Fb is under a lot of scrutiny for their ads and eventually the target will move onto google and especially YouTube

On a separate note there may be imminent layoffs if YouTube premium does badly, which I believe it will

[grizzled breach]

Thanks @haughty venture, will think about this

[analog birch]

Do you plan to stay at G?

Or try HFTs / other company

[haughty venture]

Honestly don’t stress about it you’re probably in the dream position of every nerd on this server no matter which you take

[grizzled breach]

possibly stay at G, but will interview with other companies as well and decide based on my experience with the team

@analog birch, good luck for your hm

[analog birch]

Both offers are pog

You can't go wrong

[analog birch]

[winter dirge]

@grizzled breach congrats on your offer. When did you hear back after your phone interviews?

[grizzled breach]

thanks! I had my phone interviews in December 1st week. I was in hm for 3 months

[haughty venture]

How did your interviews go

[winter dirge]

oh wow. That long!!

[winter dirge]

I was able to solve both problems so I guess they went well. Interviews happened 2 weeks ago. Still waiting for an update.

[grizzled breach]

Yep, I did 6 HM calls before getting an offer for the last 2.

[haughty venture]
