Help me evaluate this PayPal offer

I have an offer from PayPal. It's for software Engineer 2, T23. 130 base 10% bonus $25,000 equity 3 year vest $10,000 sign on bonus. Seems pretty low to me especially disappointed with equity numbers. Would like some opinions. It's lower than even the lowest number on Paysa for new grads.

How much experience? Seems correct to me

Yahoo Hjkb Sep 22, 2017

That's definitely very low. Even Yahoo pays more than that

Amazon leetcoder Sep 22, 2017

Low don’t take it, unless the current compensation is even lower than that

Were you converted to full time after internship?

Medidata Solutions took Sep 22, 2017

No. I was recruited from another company

This is correct salary for your experience

Amazon amznone Sep 22, 2017

This is low.

This is a good offer with 2.5 years experience which is not lot. If you are telling me you can crack Google / FB / Uber / Amazon interviews, then I would say you fit the mold for higher salary (cracking the interview for these companies in no way means you can write scalable code with good design).
