I'm a new grad having trouble deciding between the following offers and was wondering if anybody has advice as to which offer is safest to accept (less likely to be rescinded, laid off, etc.):

(base/bonus/grant)

Amazon: 112/26/80

Palantir (returning intern): 140/25/10000 shares/5 years (paper money)

Microsoft: 118/15/70

Does anyone have any advice about the safest offer or negotiating? Thanks.

    Go to Microsoft. Amazon is probably slightly safer but Microsoft is still safe and as a new grad it will be 100x better learning environment. Tbh I don't know enough about palantir to say anything about it's risk. If it was risk-free and you liked it then I would say go for it for the higher TC.

    Palantir is a relatively stable company and your TC is higher there even if your paper is worth nothing. It also has strong brand name and you'll learn a lot bc strong eng culture

    Microsoft will give you the safest environment. Unless you go to some shady team that is about to be disbanded. Even then you may be given the chances to swap. Amazon has mandatory cuts every year so I’d feel less safe there. I don’t know about Palantir, but the smaller the company, the smaller the chances you’re going to spend a lot of time there...

    Amazon won't rescind, but will PIP.
