拒了甲骨文(Oracle)的 Offer

上周五拒了甲骨文剑桥 Data Cloud 的 Senior Software Engineer 的 Offer. 原因是给的 Package 较低, 不能和我当前在GE的 Package 相比, 而且低了不是一点半点, 不谈工资 (base salary), 甲骨文一年的带薪假期只有20天(GE的有26天), 当然大公司都允许你一年拿工资买一定的额度的.

为啥要申请甲骨文剑桥? 因为这家公司是去年刚被甲骨文收购的, 做的领域是互联网广告定向算法, 能接触到大数据(爬虫每天爬了数十TB的数据), 然后算法得分析页面, 建立语言模型, 给出最佳匹配的广告.

甲骨文在计算机领域还是相当有名的, 虽然名声可能不是特别好, 但是至少拥有 Java, MySQL… 不过我媳妇竟然没听过这公司, 她还以为是卖古董的(哎……)

有另一种定向算法是基于用户的, 比如给用户分属性, 根据不同的用户属性给不同的广告匹配. 不过这种模式在欧洲就很难走下去, 因为欧洲的隐私条例GDPR很严格.

甲骨文剑桥的面试相对来说也较其它地区简单, 一轮电话面试, 然后就是 Hackerrank 离线做题, 然后就直接终面了. 终面一小时 behavior 一轮 technical, 是比较传统的那种, 两个面试官. 技术面试让我很意外竟然没有要求做题, 相反只是讨论了一些离线做题的细节, 还有天南地北的谈技术. 听说 中国北京的甲骨文门槛很高: 首先要北清复交(北大, 清华, 复旦 还有上海交通大学)的本科, 其次还得有研究生文凭.

三个工作日后, 甲骨文 Technical Recruiter 给反馈了, 说是只能给一个 Senior SE 的行情价, 因为我的大数据方面经验不足, 不过他们还是希望我考虑进入甲骨文后的职位发展:

The team would really like you to join and think you’d be a good addition. However, as discussed, they feel that when benchmarked against the existing team, the below package is the best we can offer. The managers feel that you have a terrific amount of potential to grow within the role and improve your core engineering skills as well as develop a deep understanding of Data Analysis and ML. I hope you can see the potential in joining Oracle from a career perspective and can accept this offer.

团队真的希望你加入并认为你是一个很好的补充. 但是, 正如所讨论的那样, 他们认为在对现有团队进行基准测试时, 以下方案是我们能提供的最佳方案. 管理人员认为, 您在角色中有很大的发展潜力, 可以提高您的核心工程技能, 并对数据分析和ML有深入的了解. 我希望您能从职业角度看到加入Oracle的潜力, 并且可以接受此优惠.

甲骨文 Technical Recruiter 给了我2天时间考虑, 我考虑再三后给婉拒了. 虽然大数据很有意思是将来的趋势, 但是有老婆孩子有家要养, 臣妾做不到啊.

Thank you for the information. I so appreciate you taking the time to consider me. However, after careful consideration, I am afraid probably this isn’t just right for me at the moment.

It was great to meet the team and see the office. I enjoyed learning about the position and the company, and I appreciate this offer.
Although the big data at Oracle is very interesting, I also have to take other factors into consideration (The offer is a lot less than what I expect)

Please express my thanks to XXX, YYY, and ZZZ… It’s been a pleasure getting to know you, and I hope that we cross paths in the future !

Many thanks
Kind Regards
