What to choose? Doordash E5 vs Paypal Staff
After a year of leetcoding, job searching, failed interviews and mental health problems, I finally got an offer.
Paypal staff sde
- base: 180 though recruiter said that I may be able to push to 200
- equity: ~145 vested over 3 years
- 10% cash bonus every year
- another 10% cash bonus based on performance
- TC: Somewhere close to 300k
DD senior frontend
- base: 200
- equity: ~700 vested over 4 years
- TC: ~400k
I'm honestly a little intimidated by the staff role as I was barely a senior engineer at my previous company. I know it's really hard to go beyond senior and I'm grateful for the opportunity, but the higher pay and the company Doordash itself is a bit more appealing to me. WWYD?
