In July, a kind younger alum referred me for Full Stack Analyst II.
In early August, HR contacted me to say that role was gone and asked whether I'd consider another Senior Analyst role.
After that, it was one step each week: HR call -> hiring manager interview -> take-home.
The HM case: Analyze what could have caused the delinquency rate to jump in the past quarter.
The take-home: What product and/or vertical should Affirm invest in next?
My impressions:
HR was very whimsical. They said new hires would probably fall in the bottom 20–30% of the pay range, with stock vesting 40/30/30, no cliff, and no sign-on bonus.
The HM was also a new hire, so when I asked about the roadmap, they said they hadn't figured it out yet, and that the industry changes so quickly it's hard to make a roadmap anyway. (?)
I didn't do that well on the HM's case, but they still gave me the take-home. Half a week after I finished it, HR replied that we could move to the next round, but the HM wanted to proceed one level lower. That means a big drop in pay 👎 and a much smaller scope. I'm still going back and forth with HR, so I'm sharing the interview experience first.
