OpenAI vs Snowflake vs Databricks

Good problem to have, but seeking the wisdom of crowds. All roles in the Bay Area. 12 YOE, current TC ~650k, so definitely moving.

Are there AI related roles?

Snowflake liquidable Feb 26

Databricks L7 offer is so shitty now? They offer L6 for 850K that I got 1 year ago. No way L7 is just 100K higher.

You should have joined dbx

Snowflake liquidable Feb 26

Dude, are you newly promoted E7 or just faked your level to Snow and databricks? They don't up level people.

Meta HughJones OP Feb 27

Newly promoted, so comp will rise but am looking for a change anyway

Snowflake liquidable Feb 27

Newly promoted E7 should get director AE to compensate you to at least 900K. Your 650K is definitely wrong .

Cloudera gareebhu Feb 27

Choose OpenAI, its infinite money

Amazon eyy516 Feb 27
