I have two offers, one from Dropbox which is real cash but average team and work and other is from lyft decent team and work( I think I like the team but no one knows what will happen in future, the work may not be good etc) Tc drop box: 185k base, 20% bonus, 200k stock Tc lyft: 190k base, 0% bonus, 700k stock(paper money) Both of them have some pros and cons wanted to see your opinion. Cash vs team. Yoe 7
Hard choice. I pick by manager. A good manager is likely to help you get to the next level.
Grats on the offers. I would probably take Dropbox. I've heard it's a great place to work and they have good culture. Plus I think lyft (and Uber) are going to get crushed by waymo in the next five to ten years How much LC did you solve and how were the interviews? Was one easier than the other?
Program creek etc yeah dropbox was little easier than lyft
This is the dumbest question I have seen here tbh. You are comparing 270k vs 365k. You gotta be kidding me if you are saying the 700k paper money is 0. You know there is something called secondary market, where that paper money is atleast worth 500k right now!
I don’t think you can sell lyft Rsus until exit. I don’t see a secondary market for lyft.
Lyft looks better but if you can get Dropbox to $300k stock I'd go with them because that cash bonus every year mitigates risk whereas with Lyft all your eggs are in the equity basket.
Dropbox I already accepted.. lyft was late with the offer. Couldn’t negotiate much.
Which team?
What level Dropbox?
He's IC4..
Ah the 20% bonus. That’s a ridiculously low offer for IC4!
Congrats OP. If I were you I think I might have chosen Lyft.

$200k stock vs $700k paper money? Well it is worth to take the risk of paper money. You have nothing to lose, really!
Bonus?? It’s like 20% that itself is like 160k for 4 years.
Well $50k/year stock seems really low for your YOE
