Opinion on Confluent offer

About 15 years’ experience, half of that at Google, for offered $190k and 60k options over 4 years ... so it really only makes sense if they grow at least 2x from their current valuation (I think ?) Don’t know what to compare it to, hoping someone here has ideas!

What’s your current fmv- strike and their valuation?

What role are you in?

Confluent YsjF62 Jun 20, 2019

I’m quite confident we’ll at least grow 2x

What's the 60k options worth at their current valuation?

Confluent KafJuice Jun 25, 2019

~$180k

Wow... That's really low for someone with 15yrs exp..even at 3× the value that's less than what the big companies can offer at level 5. @KafJuice - do you know what's the current strike price.

@OP did you take it? What was the final deal?

Google lWrx88 OP Sep 19, 2019

Sorry I was away from Blind for a long time :-) yes I did end up taking it, I guess I’m hoping we “go big” next year, or ... this will turn out to be a bad bet

Were the final numbers same as you described above? What was strike price? Can you share more details please?

Congrats on Series E ($4.5B). Has already become 2x.
