I totally agree with you on 100% remote position. The only good thing that came of of this pandemic is my position has transitioned to 100% remote indefinitely. I can roll out of bed to join Zoom meetings, make coffee and play with my cat throughout the day. Freedom is priceless 🙌 Whenever I get job offers nowadays I have to make sure it's 100% remote before moving forward to the next phase, but honestly I'm already blessed with the job I have now. Thanks for sharing your experience with us.

謝謝 Terry 的寶貴分享。 今年開始準備面試從你身上獲益許多,這集的反思也是。 祝提早財富自由!
Actually there are refresh GSU every year. So the stocks you are going to get in the 3rd or 4th year would be more than the one vested in the first yaar

Terry: I think you made the right decision for not joining Google. My son worked for Amazon as a Summer intern and was recruited to join Honey as their #4 employee, he picked to work for Google instead and later on Honey was sold to Paypal for billions of dollars. His share of the stock grants from Honey will be enough to pay for multiple times of initial annual Google salary, probably enough for him to retire at an very early age, but too bad he joined Google instead. So, he left Google after 2.5 years of employment, joined another start up in the Bay area and just got his first stock grant last month. Happy mommy was offered a brand new Tesla model Y as Christmas gift. My son told me he can always go back to Google any time but since he is still young, he'd rather take his chance just like you said. So, wish you the best of luck with your existing company and Happy New Year!

Thank you Jessica for sharing your son's experience. This is exactly why many people opted to work at startups instead of high-paying/stable 9-5 jobs. However, I want to point out that most startups don't end up like Honey. Being able to identify a good startup to join is hard. And even good startups can go down in so many different ways. So it’s definitely a lot of risk.

@@jlouie8835 Guess what, my story is more like: I worked for a company that created Facebook apps. It was a startup. And the CEO and CTO hire friends and family. And they didn't even have proper training, and they appear as "the royal class" in the company. I worked 12 hours a days initially, and they saw that I can work that much, and they just work me like a slave. When it was bonus time, the CTO said to me, "We are a startup. We have no bonus. OKAY?" And the CTO played Call of Duty with some coworkers, and those coworkers were not "Stupid" and let the CTO win every day, and the CTO felt like a king. I got affected by swine flu one year and took 2 weeks off. (It was quite serious and I was tired almost every day). I went back, and they laid me off. And then, 9 months later, the CTO and his pals have 8.4 billion passwords leaked as plain text. (that friend of the CTO stored all passwords as plain text). Some months later, the CEO got fired. And then, somehow they sold their stocks and were able to still make millions of dollars of scrap residue of the company. And we just got our stock later on, as a bankruptcy paper.

So sorry to hear. Don't ever let anyone take advantage of your hard work and keep in mind the experience you acquired will lead you to a new exciting job opportunity in the future, so, it's not a total loss.
Hi Terry, 我非常認同你最後說的話. 我剛美本CS畢業, 也面了各種大企業, 結果也是沒公司屌我XD 我決定繼續攻讀AI碩士 努力追求理想和證明自己

They are definitely not giving offers like that anymore . In fact , you will be lucky if you are still getting offers. On the other hand, stock did go down substantially the last 10 months which would have reduced your total take home. Anyhow , thanks for sharing ..interesting insight to the once market hiring frenzy
I have searched and prepared my internship interviews for getting FAANG. Luckily I got an internship offer from Apple one month ago. Although Apple might not be a software company for most people, I still satisfy the outcome of my interview preparation journey. The next step is gonna be finding a researcher scientist, applied scientist, or machine learning engineer roles at FAANG.
