I currently have an offer from Expedia Group, Gurgaon. Is it safe to join there as Software Development Engineer-1 given the uncertainty of pandemic and it's effect on Travel? TC: 12.9 LPA INR (Including PF & Gratuity) Stocks: 30k USD/4years
TC or respectfully GTFO :)
Updated!
Expedia stock Pre-covid: $90 Now: $180
Stock is kinda manipulation. Why there were massive layoffs if company was doing great?
Lay offs happened in Feb 2020 before Covid. Investors believe that travel will be picking up this summer. I think that’s already happening. No one can guarantee you that you will be in the safe zone.
Sinking ship
How the fuck they are giving 30k/4 usd stocks. They were giving only 17k/4 stocks to me for sde3 position and told they can't increase it because of cap. 😑
Your YoE & TC offered?
46-47, 5 yoe
30k for J is BS. Include real offer or gtfo. J level RSUs are not supported at Expedia. Aside from that yes it’s safe as vrbo alone was performing at 70% even before 6 months, I don’t even understand these conversations around safe or not! The only thing that changed is you’ll be evaluated quarterly and they’ll tell you to gtfo if you’re not performing well
Its real offer. Expedia Group want to retain employees hence the (0 50 25 25)% vesting schedule. Rejected this BS offer as they were not open for negotiation.
Where have you joined now after rejecting Expedia? Also, were they giving you $7500 relocation?
Why there would be any problem
Uncertainty of pandemic & layoffs
Even if there are any layoffs, company cares least about entry level engineers
