I’m currently an E5 at doordash, recently got a software engineer offer from Snowflake, should I quit dd and join Snowflake? WLB at dd is pretty bad so bad wlb at Snowflake isn’t an issue for me. Snowflake’s quarterly perf review and alleged unreasonably high perf expectation make me hesitate though.
Offer is not enough to move , your promotion timeline resets. As well as snowflake stock at ATH well as your probably got door dash stock at much lower rates
Damn nice offer. Is their senior a L5/E5 equivalent?
Yeah my understanding is that their senior 1 (ic3) is E5, senior 2 (ic4) is E6
SNOW IC3 is 450-550k so your offer is pretty good. Congratulations 🎉
What's the range for ic4?
Good offer, congrats! Didn't realize base salary can be so high for IC3
Does snowflake require references like Databricks?
Yes
SF > DD for sure
Why SF > DD? Is it the reputation or comp or other things?
Unless you’re pushed out of DD or laid off, weigh in your options carefully :) Snowflake work culture is nowwhere close to what DD is
Can you elaborate the work culture part? Dd is also famous for bad wlb if wlb is what you mean by work culture
Most folks work 60+ hours. Things are extremely political and after all that work you might still get bad ratings. Reviews are quarterly and one DNM or two MME and you’re fired. Highly stressful and unreasonable expectations. Joined 2 years ago and done with this BS - trying get out of there asap.
