I’m pending an offer from Visa Inc for a Senior Director role and want to know some guardrails. The recruiter informed me in our very first call that Visa “doesn’t pay cash to bring people on” and alluded to not offering a sign on bonus or RSUs. This is very strange to be competitive in the tech world. Would love to hear input into pushing for both equity and sign on as part of the offer. Thanks!

Visa is tech company?

They mainly pay cash as comp... no equity

With the given circumstances of COVID-19 companies are having to adjusts the financial approach to several situations. Key word is competitive - several candidates are long for jobs, and at senior level, there’s bound to be a other candidate desperate to make ends meet and accept an offer without a sign-on bonus.

Although they would have likely offered sign-on outside of the pandemic, a similar benefit would come through negotiations for company stock.

Agree with AM1 above. Not tech = Cashy McCashface.

I've been interviewing with some companies, and now I have to decide between JPMorgan Chase and Globant.

Globant is more innovative, and has remote work. I will enter to work with a Sillicon Valley startup based in San Francisco. The tech stack is React, Nextjs, AWS, and a serverless architecture.

JPM is semi remote, and less innovative. The tech stack Java, SpringBoot and AWS. But I'd do more migration tasks, like dockerize projects and pass them to kubernetes. What would you choose?
