P.S. 276K in Seattle is equal to 325K in the Bay Area after taxes without adjusting for the cost of living. ~194K after taxes.
How? 330x0.9?
Washington Paycheck calculator: https://smartasset.com/taxes/washington-paycheck-calculator#bqtslKXjm6 California Paycheck calculator: https://smartasset.com/taxes/california-paycheck-calculator#TuAQHZCLje ~8,070 per paycheck x 24 = ~194K These calculators are insanely accurate. Down to the dollar in line with my tax return for 2018.
Wild thought: Ever consider the possibility the 4b startup is actually not profitable in reality?
No, they are doing very well. It's a famous company. But I do know that I might end up with 230K rather than 400K if things don't go well.
At 200k+ TCs, it's usually not about the money, but maybe reputation risk?
Depends how much you like the startup. Comp at the tech giant seems better to me, but startup could be more interesting/rewarding
Does the comp at the start up seem worse to you because of the inherent risk or because of the cost of living and taxes in the Bay Area?
Both. Taxes and COL means the comp is fairly comparable, but the startup has to be discounted due to risk and not getting the money until exit.
Credit Karma is the startup isn't it? 4 billion and profitable. Tech giant is Microsoft Edit: Actually no, Credit Karma doesn't hand out 200K stocks anymore.
No... I'm guessing it's a specific Enterprise tech company in the peninsula. Fairly certain.
Why wouldn't OP not name tech giant! It sure isn't Amazon as base cap is 160K in Seattle.
The tech giant is Microsoft for those interested.
And the startup??
You will never score a big one at a tech giant. Risky bets reward the highest
