Competing offers: Startup Options vs Base Salary, What would you take? /u/MiddleSwitch8 CSCQ protests reddit

Competing offers: Startup Options vs Base Salary, What would you take? /u/MiddleSwitch8 CSCQ protests reddit

Hello CSCQ! Just came off of a very successful interviewing period and was lucky enough to receive a few very good offers. I’ve narrowed them down to the two top ones to decide over the next couple of days, but wanted to see what y’all would pick and why, in case there is anything else that I’ve missed when considering them.

Location: Canada HCOL

YoE: 4

Personal Facts: Mid 20s, Enjoys backend/full stack, young baby at home but willing to grind to a certain degree (partner is SAHD)

Offer 1 (startup):

Company: 4yo Series D company very well positioned in the market with high growth potential and a stable stack/product, can pick between a full stack team or an infra team, incredibly smart people and a stack I enjoy working in, will most likely have to do much more work than Company 2 but the work will be rewarding and will help me grow career-wise faster for sure.

Comp: 170k base, ~400k value of options vested over 4 years

Offer 2 (Long-Running)

Company: Very mature private company with the industry-dominating product that has many years of history. Team is more focused on internal tooling so will have newer tech to play with. Much more chill compared to Company 1 and can likely stay a LONG time.

Comp: 210k base & yearly bonus

Both options are hybrid and involve similar commutes, and both have teams that seem great to work with. What would you pick in my situation: cold hard base comp or potential for options to materialize and a much better learning environment?

Don’t like coding and bad with people – not sure what to do /u/Flaky-Letterhead-519 CSCQ protests reddit

Don’t like coding and bad with people – not sure what to do /u/Flaky-Letterhead-519 CSCQ protests reddit

If this is a bad question I’ll delete it.

I’m not sure what to do, I have an Infosys degree, but I recently did a bootcamp and an internship for web development, because I wasn’t sure what I could do with my Infosys degree .

But I feel as if I don’t really like coding and I am not good enough to compete with people that are good at coding and enjoy it somewhat. I also am not very good with people, either and don’t really give off a friendly vibe, so I’m not sure I can do something like helpdesk. Not sure if this is worth asking, by the way.

Graduation Fear /u/Xcalibur_-97 CSCQ protests reddit

Graduation Fear /u/Xcalibur_-97 CSCQ protests reddit

So, I am 27 years old and am scheduled to graduate next August with my computer science degree. I’ve been doing my best to work on programming in my spare time, even though after all this time with it, I am struggling and need YouTube videos to help me constantly. I’m really starting to feel the pressure because I feel like I’ve hardly learned anything over the last three and a half years, and I also feel like I’ve just been trying to teach myself how to code. I’m worried I’m going to graduate and have absolutely nothing under my belt and have wasted 4 years of my life. I know I should probably be interning in my final year, but I don’t feel I have the skills to get a damn job. I guess what I’m trying to say is I know the basics of coding and can code a small amount, but not super confidently, and I don’t know what to do.

I’m a senior in undergrad about to earn my bachelors and I’ve been trying to find good entry level jobs near me but the ones I’ve been finding are all senior level, require like 3-5 years of experience, or require a masters. I’m just curious how people found their jobs. I got plenty of time, but do want to get ahead of everyone else so I don’t have to sweat!

Lower Pay vs Better WLB for New Grad job? /u/Beginning-Mistake-49 CSCQ protests reddit

Lower Pay vs Better WLB for New Grad job? /u/Beginning-Mistake-49 CSCQ protests reddit

I’m lucky to have 2 offers in this market as a New Grad, however they are vastly different and both have their pros and cons so I’m having trouble deciding.

They’re both in MCOL suburb areas and are decent names within their own industry, but they’re not super popular or tech companies. One is notably higher pay ($110k USD vs $90k) but a lot worse WLB (in person 5 days, 45-50hrs a week, 15 PTO/sick days, notably higher rate of turnover) vs the other co. is hybrid, ~35 hours/week, slower moving, and a lot more PTO/sick days (30 total). Both have decent benefits with 401k/healthcare.

The tech stacks for both companies vary a bit but they’re both on the legacy side of things with a lot of work done maintaining old crappy code, also it’s really team dependent (I don’t know what team I will be on). The caveat for the lower-paying company is that I will have the chance to try out two different teams for 6 months to see which I like (and possibly get to work on more modern stuff) whereas the other company I get put on a team without a choice.

My goal is either FAANG or a major tech company within a couple years. The learning opportunities at either company seem to be completely variable depending on which team I get put on so I’m having a hard time choosing, either I have a slower job that might not be super challenging but explore more areas of the business or a more stressful higher paying one.

Both have decent benefits with 401k/healthcare.

The tech stacks for both companies vary a bit but they’re both on the legacy side of things with a lot of work done maintaining old crappy code, also it’s really team dependent (I don’t know what team I will be on). The caveat for the lower-paying company is that I will have the chance to try out two different teams for 6 months to see which I like (and possibly get to work on more modern stuff) whereas the other company I get put on a team without a choice.

My goal is either FAANG or a major tech company within a couple years. The learning opportunities at either company seem to be completely variable depending on which team I get put on so I’m having a hard time choosing, either I have a slower job that might not be super challenging but explore more areas of the business or a more stressful higher paying one.

[link] [comments]  I’m lucky to have 2 offers in this market as a New Grad, however they are vastly different and both have their pros and cons so I’m having trouble deciding. They’re both in MCOL suburb areas and are decent names within their own industry, but they’re not super popular or tech companies. One is notably higher pay ($110k USD vs $90k) but a lot worse WLB (in person 5 days, 45-50hrs a week, 15 PTO/sick days, notably higher rate of turnover) vs the other co. is hybrid, ~35 hours/week, slower moving, and a lot more PTO/sick days (30 total).
