I have an offer from Tesla and Rivian. Job are the same (engineering), same area (SoCal) both are good teams. Everything is pretty much the same. There is no more room for negotiation.
Rivian base is $180k/yr (RSU $140k over 2 years)
Tesla base is $150k/yr (RSU or ISO $360k over 4 years)
Questions…
If I take the Rivian job, would I be able to get into Tesla later?
It seems like there are a lot of former Tesla engineers at Rivian, but I don’t notice the opposite.
Tesla had me fill out a questionnaire before my first interview asking if I’d had been interviewed or offered a job before. Would I be reducing my chances of future Tesla employment by not taking the job now?
My thoughts (Pros)
Tesla - would look better on my resume. After 4 years (assuming the stock price stays the same), would be $100k more than Rivian.
Rivian - Higher base, less risk. I believe the stock could double ($40 -> $80) pretty easily compared to Tesla ($1000 -> $2000). I could work remotely for up to the first 6 months (it would give me time to sell my house before moving).
