If you get an offer at a company who didnt IPO yet (e.g. airbnb) and you get for example 400K stocks over 4 years, they typically use a valuation of the company to compute how many shares the 400k are worth. Which valuation do they use? if for instance Airbnb’s latest official valuation was done a year ago and was 40 Bn, do they use that value now? or they compute in-house a new more current valuation?
It's always based on last valuation. Anything else is just rubbish. Recruiter might do that to play games and low ball.
But last official valuation or some internal one that nobody knows about publically?
Depends on the company and timing. Airbnb I think still uses the preferred share price for offers (31b) as opposed to the 409a.
