Brilliant
What is the level for both offers? I would choose FB if I were you.
Equivalent to fb E4 at both. I suspect these are close to top of band so I’m feeling uncertain about how much I can press for further but I figure there has to be some wiggle room
I think the caps on stock are 450 and 600 for L4 at these two companies.
Pinterest just filed for going ipo. I would pick Pinterest for the crazy upside on the stocks! Those options might very well pay off big time if the ipo goes well!
But you don't know how the stock looks like after the vest period. It will probably be a year and would be lower than ipo price
They’re offering RSUs now instead of options but that’s only a plus imo. I am bullish on Pinterest as a profitable unicorn but I am naturally guarded about the potentially volatility and uncertain liquidity compared to fb. I do live in SF though which is weighing on me a lot
What location? Both offers are dayummmmm
Pretty strong offers for 4 yoe. I’d have chosen FB if I were you.
FB, Pinterest is shit
And why is that
Your hiring committee is the most biased group of folks I’ve ever interviewed with. No where else have I felt more attacked for my age and ethnicity. I literally stood out like a sore thumb simply because of age and ethnicity differences, which ultimately didn’t land me the position despite my making it to the final rounds.
FB
make this a poll
Do they mention refresher in the offer?
No written offers yet since it’s pending an acceptance but I included the quoted refresher amounts. Standard 4 year schedule for both so like a 100k refresher would be 25k vest in the next year, etc
I actually don't remember seeing any refresher information in any contracts offered to me.
