100K Meta/G RSU sounds better than 80K WMU today, but Waymo has serious goals for 2022. Things will change if those goals are met.
Waymo in previous years had one concrete goal, launching in Chandler. For 2022 we have a several large milestones. They are relatively important now with external investors.
I don’t really care to work for AV so I haven’t done much research. All my other offers were 320-400
One thing worth noting is that the risk is higher at Waymo, so your comp should be reflecting it. But it doesn’t, which is bullshit.
This is misleading and bordering on completely false. I define “keeping” a stock as something you entirely control. When you leave Waymo you relinquish your control of the sell side to alphabet who is incentivized to buy it back at a discounted rate dictated by the 409A which they influence.
Don’t come to Waymo for the money. Seriously, the pay is bad in comparison to google or broader tech. Shills on here will tell you otherwise and our recruiters lie. Be careful.
Work and WLB are great.
