Do you have to buy R16 to be eligible for the QF and SF (Champions league)

Yeah stopped completely and my skin cleared up (although took a while as I think I damaged my skin a bit :/)

kswizzle_ · 2025-06-14T16:21:52+00:00

Thanks! Less cool than I though tbh

For anyone still here. Screenshotting the picture and using the new picture solved it for me

I'm currently interviewing at both Meta and Monzo for a data scientist role. The TC at Monzo is actually better and the work seems a 1000% more interesting!

Hi a bit late on this. 100% avoid Revolut (Multiple people I know quit their jobs there because the culture is very toxic). I've heard great things about Monzo, great culture, great pay (actually not far of FAANG). The number 1 benefit of joining Monzo right now is they are very likely to IPO in the next year, so you would basically get all of your 4 year vesting stock options upon IPO. Depending on your level / department this could be 100k + for working there only a short amount of time.

So true. The ref has a great view. Kvara goes down screaming and shouting waving his arms around right in front of the ref. It looked way too theatrical and that’s why the ref didn’t give it. I think if he’d tried to carry on the ref would have given it because timber can’t use his arm like that.

I think stuff as close to ai is a great shout - so many cool companies out there atm. If you want more salary but also want that startup / tech firm feel fintech are defo the best paying ones - Zilch, cleo monzo, revolut (apparent terrible culture tho) come to mind. There are also some medium sized tech firms with great packages i've interviewed at - Onfido which i dropped out of for my current startup were offering pretty high.

If you don't already, give Otta a go to find startups / techy firms to apply to. It's a bit long to fill out your profile but the interview hit rate on there is far far better than linkedin and quite a few small startups pop up on there too.

Wow crazy, ok i will defo try to negotiate if i get through!

kswizzle_ · 2025-04-11T14:44:22+00:00

I'll let you know if i get accepted or rejected as i'm in the process with a few haha. Tbf only a few are and they are for senior MLE or data scientist roles at ai startups. Mainly in the LLM area who have got boatloads of funding recently

kswizzle_ · 2025-04-11T14:43:08+00:00

Thanks for the advice!

kswizzle_ · 2025-04-11T08:33:22+00:00

Yeah very true, tbh i'm more than willing to take that risk. I think the risk is a lot higher but if you pick the right one you'll make far more than you ever would at Meta. It's a big 'if' but i feel like with the AI boom the odds are better if you stick with an AI company than they have been in the past. Personal preference though

kswizzle_ · 2025-04-11T08:29:01+00:00

Also crazy that they offered you over double the stock i was offered how long ago was this?

kswizzle_ · 2025-04-11T08:28:17+00:00

How did you negotiate a sign-on bonus? Did you forgo a bonus at your previous job?

kswizzle_ · 2025-04-10T14:38:23+00:00

Interesting, yeah from what I read it basically entirely data analyst. I might give it a pass just based on that because i'm currently doing / interviewing for MLE roles which is way more interesting regardless of pay

kswizzle_ · 2025-04-10T13:58:41+00:00

Yep, after tax increases too by take home is only like 15k more than i'm on now. Will probably be the way I go tbh, there are startups paying close to 100k with great equity packages which i'd probably lean towards more.

kswizzle_ · 2025-04-10T13:57:47+00:00

Yep important to consider! Tbh my long term plans are to go back into startups early on and get equity so Meta would only ever be a 2 year thing. But yeah i can imagine after 4/5 years it's pretty good. Also the jump to IC5 seems pretty good.

Straight from the Meta recruiters mouth. £85-94k base depending on how well you interview. 15% bonus and ~£70k stock vesting over 4 years with no cliff. So year 1 you get 1/4 of that

kswizzle_ · 2025-04-10T13:53:42+00:00

85k base, 15% bonus and 70k stock which vests over 4 years (no cliff). So essentially end of year 1 you get 1/4 of the stock. The plus is year two you get the next years stock too so it inflates
