YOE: 12 Current TC: 241K base + ~200K in RSU / 4 = 290K DoorDash is the better offer here but wanted to check if I could counter for more equity. How much more equity would be reasonable to ask for?

Doordash obviously

Why is this even a question?

Box TamG67 OP Oct 10, 2019

Thank you! Doordash is the better offer for sure. Wanted to see if the equity is reasonable or if I could ask for more. Edited the post with details.

What is sumo?

Box TamG67 OP Oct 10, 2019

https://www.sumologic.com/. Pre IPO log analysis/management in the cloud. Competitors include Splunk, DataDog and ELK.

Box TamG67 OP Oct 10, 2019

Yeah they don't offer RSUs. Options only. Based on the above offer it seems to be 215 + 35 = 250K base. If I do get the entire 10% bonus it would add 10% of base which is an additional 21500. So base could be at best 271500. I'm not certain how to evaluate their options.

Any company with sumo in the name...

If you can, interview more. L6s are much higher elsewhere. SoftBank wants to play Midas. Discount those RSUs by half.

Thank you for your feedback!

RSU? Or options

Box TamG67 OP Oct 10, 2019

RSU for Doordash. Options for Sumo Logic

Symantec drthvader Oct 10, 2019

Dont you think the RSU price of doordash is very high? It is $190. How much it can go up? It is already $12 billion.

Box TamG67 OP Oct 10, 2019

Possibly may be too high. Perhaps 1/2 or 1/3rd of what it is now may be more realistic?

OP: Curious which one did you decide? Were you able to negotiate further up with Sumologic?
