Should I ask for more?
How much are rsu valued at? Is your current TC paper money?
Current tc is not paper money. Rsu worth at $11.43
Is it $35k in RSUs or 35k RSUs (meaning ~$350k value)?
Don't ever take a cut unless you have no choice or the new gig is something specific that you need for personal satisfaction
It's not pay cut if OP current TC is also paper money
That's a great point @stones!
Houzz requires 2 yrs service before any RSU can be vested... This is unheard of. 2 yrs!
Yeah that's also something to keep in mind!
Even our great compnay AMAZON is far far better than that. Lol. Leave or let go or pip before 2 yrs, ZERO RSUs. Houzz is amazing.
That's really low given your TC. Is it an IC role?
Yes IC role
I just read that you have 4yrs of experience. The base is decent for that. The equity and bonus percentage are low.
That seems low to me, considering it’s paper money. Would love to know opinion of people working @houzz
Says a guy working for godaddy.
Do your research about how much GoDaddy pays for analytics.
I don't get why everyone says it's low without knowing about your circumstances. People have different experiences coming in, so don't index too heavily on what other people say is low or high.
I missed the part he said it's for an analytics position, you might be right, removing my prev. comment :)
@wepg65 can you please share some insights on offer/culture/revenue growth/potential IPO plans, if possible?
I don’t know what analysts are paid. But do your homework to get the confidence about paper money, such as: - Ask them to share revenue, growth numbers to get an idea of how business has done since the previous round of funding. - Also check how many times in the past have the bonuses been paid. - Ask about attrition rate.
Thank you for tips, appreciate it!
Houzz is the worst company I’ve interviewed with. Rude
That's better then my TC and I've been at houzz as long as your YOE...
low
