Anyone here work at TikTok? One of my old colleagues work there and said he would allow me to use him as referral. I’ve read some very mixed reviews on glass door and team blind. Most of the roles at the London office look like they are in ops which tbh is rather not do but I might apply around spring time just to check

You don't want to max out your 401k?

Nah. I’m willing to match what they contribute. Other than that, give me the rest of my money that I can use for my other investments.
To that point, if you max your 401k before the end of the year do they just redirect your allocation back into your paycheck?

I believe so, or have it sent into an IRA. I’ve never maxed out before..so :yeshrug:
Well I may have the answer to this later on next year :yeshrug:. If I don't switch jobs I'll be at 6%+6% match pre tax, and another 6% post. I need to look up why they cap they contribution, I think that's kinda dumb.

New role seems cool so far. I mean it’s only day one, but a lot of perks and benefits. Free snacks and drinks, newly remodeled, and just some good stuff. Flexible schedule and all that.


I’m super concerned about the work. I mean I know what I’m doing, but do I? I do.

Even if you don't, they don't gotta know that :manny:

My job is shutting down their US operations in February.
So I've just been doing inventory since this was announced. I had 3 meetings today about shutting down the office. I'm pushing for donating as much as possible to an org that will clean up the hardware and donate it to schools in need. They send you info on the places where the hardware goes. It's neat. But the managers still want me to contact a liquidator to see how much cash I can get for some of it.
:stopitslime:

I'm also pushing for everyone who's losing their job to be able to keep their laptop. But they hit me with "How will we confirm that the laptops are wiped of company data if 99% of people are working remotely?"

They brought up the idea of me potentially staying another month (while working out of a WeWork) and wiping laptops as people mail them in.

Brehs, it took me a whole 5 minutes to find a script to wipe a Mac and reinstall the OS. We can either just push out out the script as is or edit it to email a confirmation once it starts. And then remove the computers from the MDM account. And I'm sure I can find a script to do the same thing for Windows. It ain't that hard.

The office lease runs out at the end of January. I don't want to deal with WeWorks and storage units.
