CW role at Meta can have its own curveballs in particular given the current climate. If you don’t have any plans of staying back beyond an year then yes go for it.

Yes, I plan to do an MBA after an year so I won't find if contract isn't renewed etc

Business Development Manager

I'd say it could be better to transition from InMobi to a company between it and FAANGs in brand value. 

Something like Flipkart, Walmart, PhonePe. They're bigger brands than InMobi and would be a good addition to your CV. You can then transition to FAANG roles. 

I see the following cons with this move?:

- You'll miss out on benefits like stock, good internal opportunities, good insurance etc. 
- If you become a contractor there's some risk in you being seen as a contractor even for your next transition imo. 
- It's super easy for them to lay you off and chances of a layoff are high too.

I do not work for inmobi, probably got selected while signing up. I worked for an MNC (market leader but not well known) . 
I already have 2 yr experience & plan to do MBA after an year. Meta might help me after MBA. What do you think ?

Product Manager

Check market conditions before making a headway to FAANG. Choppy waters currently. Don't jump out without a life boat ⛵

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

I have received an offer from B2B startup, fairly early stage bootstrapped and going for series A this year.
Base 45
JB 2
Variable 12%
And esops worth 30L over four years
Role SDE 2

YOE 3.5

should i still try for faang or go with this for a year, i really liked the people and team here and they are fully commited to making this startup a success and even their last company got accquired.

Should I choose 45L or wait for FAANG?

Software Developer

I have 3 years experience working at MNC should I try for faang companies now or later?

Software Engineer

Finally got an offer after 6 months but should I take it?

I'm a 2022 grad. Got an FTE offer from WITCH after completing their internship. I waited for them to onboard me after graduating, but after a few months, they revoked my offer. So, I started applying everywhere, grinded Leetcode & did some open-source contributions. 

After 6000 applications and 100 interviews, I finally got an offer today. 100% hike as compared to my previous FTE offer. It's from a small firm in Delhi, I've to relocate since it's WFO. Had a chat with the founder. He was a very nice guy & pretty frank. Said I would be working on their own product, so it won't be like working in WITCH (Client Projects) or FAANG (Latest Tech). I would've to take ownership of modules. Told me I should think about the offer & take a concerned decision. Role is FE (React).

So, should I take their offer? I have 2 other interviews lined up this week. Both of them would be around 120% hike if I cleared them.

Finally got an offer after 6 months, but should I take it?

I got an offer from a big international bank in Mumbai. The project is in data analysis/engineering, which is something I have not worked in earlier. Another caveat is that I will be on a staffing company’s payroll and not on the bank’s. I am apprehensive about the 3rd party payroll thing. Is that something to worry about?

Should I take this offer?

Hey everyone,

I'm currently working as a SDE at a startup with about three years of experience. I'm considering making a move, and I've received an offer from an early-stage startup where I'd be joining as a founding engineer.
My main motivation for wanting to switch to some startup is the potential for high learning and growth opportunities, especially since I'm still relatively early in my career. However, I'm a bit torn between targeting multinational corporations (MNCs) like FAANG and sticking with startups.On one hand, MNCs offer more stability and potentially valuable stock options, which can be more than just paper money. 
So, my question is, should I prioritize learning and growth by staying with startups, or should I also consider the FAANG tag and potential stock benefits? Also Would there be any added advantage when I later interview at some FAANG , after working as a founding engineer for 3-4 years in some startup (given I’ll have to build multiple things from scratch and owning multiple modules). The base package for the offer I hold is roughly 
equivalent to what FAANGs pay at my level.

Any advice or insights would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Seeking genuine advice FAANG or Startups ?

Contemplating between an offer at Google vs a Series A startup, in India, with similar pay.

I'm curious to know if Google as a name on the resume (or for future prospects) is still as big as it was maybe 5-8 years ago? 

Or is India just a low cost employee centre for them and it'll always be down-the-stream work, at the whims of middle/senior managers?

YoE: 4
Role: Analytics

Happy to hear any thoughts (and answer any questions)!
