I have got offers from both these companies (Seattle). Base/Equity/JoiningBonus/Target bonus percentage : Dropbox : 210k/600k/15k/20 (IC4) Facebook : 185k/600k/100k/15 (E5) What do you think is better? FB is giving cash upfront, but with higher target bonus and higher base, Dropbox is winning in the long run (4 years). FB has wider work options and more stability, but Dropbox may have higher growth potential.
FB, take whatever u get now.
FB is evil and look at their bad PR lately you really want to go there? Go with DB.
DB won’t survive the next recession
If you dont need the money soon then take DB. Also to consider is refreshers. Also I don't like fb stock as much
What is the vesting schedule for stock/cash?
4 years
FB has big problems these days, but DB has big rivals. TBH, I’m not sure how they are surviving with big players like g, msft, or Amazon. MSFT is killing it these days with enterprise packages so don’t count too much on DB for the next 4 years..
I have some good friends that work at DB that wanted me to interview. This is exactly why I wont. I dont understand why they continue to exist.
Not related but YoE & education?
10 yoe. Masters in computer science
team?
Dropbox IC 4 = FB E6. Much higher scope of work. Seattle office is very senior and has a very strong site lead. More opportunities to grow faster
