Hi folks, Please help me evaluate the couple of offers I’ve received Rubrik offer - Snr Swe Base 190k Bonus 15% Equity - RSUs 13900 units (@ 26$ a share) 360k vesting over 4 years Sign on 23k Netskope offer - Staff Engr Base 200k Bonus 5% in first year and increases 5% every year of service after.(Very weird) Sign on 10K Equity - Options 22000 units(@ strike price 5-6$) This is their final number after negotiations. Singlestore - Software Engineer Base 165k Bonus 5% Sign on 25k Equity Options 30000 units (@ strike price <2$) This is their final number after negotiations. In terms of quality of interviews and the general engineering talent, Singlestore is the best among these but they’re not going to ipo for a while. This is a greenfield project, they’re just starting on the managed service in all 3 major clouds for their memsql DB. What are the chances of memsql challenging the plethora of managed db offerings out there ? Folks with such insights please comment. Netskope ppl seem to be very eager to bring me on. Their interview bar was ridiculously low, I spent more time talking to the manager there regarding why it’s a great choice for my career than answer technical questions which is a red flag. They’re quite confident of an ipo in the next year or so. Lots of negatives about this company on blind. Rubrik is very similar to my current job at VMware but there’s some buzz about an impending ipo for them. Could folks at Rubrik throw some insights on scope for working on saas services that are deployed in the cloud. I’ve worked on vsphere stack for a while and would like to break away from that in my new role. I still have couple of rounds of on-site at confluent but I bombed one of the on-site rounds so not so hopeful on that. I’ve right now paused taking on more interviews and want to evaluate these offers I’ve received. Thanks for reading my post 8 yoe TC 250k #rubrik #netskope #singlestore
Ah Netscape. Netscape should have won the browser wars. That was the best browser.
Ha! They’re going to get trolled on when they go ipo
What team for rubrik?
Protection of VMware and nutanix workloads, not sure about the team name
Dont join Neskope for sure. Utter crap talent.
Ah! Did you work there previously @veenom. My first impressions also signaled the same
Op, what level are you in VMW? Org? Why looking to leave?
I’m in cpbu. Lots of good leaders left the company in the last 3-4 years and have been replaced substandard management from places like Cisco who have brought the layoff culture to this company. It’s been a slow death of a once great company and culture. The stock has barely moved in 4 years when every no name tech stock has at least doubled. Should’ve left ages ago.
Ok. The new CEO is not promising? Does VMW give 100% bonus?
IPOs are hit/miss. Couple of my friends made good money with draftkings and snowflake. Lot more than what I made at FB. So, consider all options carefully. What i know currently netskope and rubrik are being traded at ~$22 and ~$34 respectively in secondary market. If they go ipo soon and trend continues with similar cloud companies, you might make more than FAANG. It might be a gamble but worth considering. Also, consider where you will learn more when making decision.
Hey can, you link me any websites etc where I can see the trading prices in secondary market.
Thanks @ Facebook for your thoughts, yeah going with Rubrik for now. Let’s see how it goes. @ Innovacer you can checkout some recent deals on equityzen to get an idea of the secondary market price in the last few months
Avoid netskope. They'll fail big time. Most senior leadership has left the boat sinking.
Said no to Netskope and signed Rubrik over the last weekend. Hope it works out. Thanks all for your responses
Good thing you said NO to Netskope
What is the final tc for rubrik ?
Op, congratulations. Great offer. Good that you rejected Netskope.
thank your lucky stars you didn't join Singlestore / Memsql. its a mess.
@LarryNGX ... Currently going through an interview for Singlestore...please elaborate..it would really help
Why not single Store?
Try for Staff Engineer in Rubrik. Lot of 3YOE Senior here. Will be difficult to interact with them.
Ok thanks 🙏 Do you work at Rubrik ?
Yup
