Here is my situation: Non Eng Currently 185k base 40k bonus 100k refresh Vested: 5000 RSU (200k) yet to vest: 7000 RSU (3800 in next 12 months - 152k) 2.5 years on job Uber is pre IPO so true value of stock is likely 65 per share vs 40 used for above Pros: senior, nailed the role, resting and vesting, lots of friends Cons: nasty culture, fallen out with some high level people, messy org, terrible perks New job: 200k base 50k sign on 50k bonus (25%) 25% refresh RSU 150k over 4 and @ 24per share 6k 401k match Pros: great culture, recent IPO so stock set to climb, possible M&A soon, amazing food, nice team, better title, building new team, great perks Cons: low RSU, much smaller role and scope, uncertainty about company future growth/product As you can see I take a big financial hit by moving although there is long term potential upside. What would some of you guys do in this situation?
YOE?
What’s your role and yoe?
Going from Uber to Dropbox is a downgrade.
Ok this is interesting. I’m concerned it might be perceived this way. But I am a FAANG veteran (4/5) so there isn’t many big companies left anyway..
Yes, the autonomous car companies need you if you want high growth companies. There is always Airbnb if you lile it. Try Twilio or Twitter where need help running the place. Heard a few months ago Twilio is running out of office space. They are growing very fast. Try LinkedIn. Dropbox will be a downgrade.
Uber’s ipo is going pump harder than $65 tbh. Stay at the Uber..just hope they have a good first quarterly and then dump
I am hearing this a lot...
Well it’s sort of the nature of stocks that are highly anticipated in terms of ipo. Not sure what your lockup is going to be..but you guys will pump hard if you guys have 1 good initial first quarter. Fortunately you guys have been showing your financials from what I remember up front. So you won’t get crushed by any means if your unprofitable..as long as their is positive growth you guys will skyrocket.
When a company IPO’s there is a lock up period for investors, does this also apply for employees?
Yes. Can expect a 25% drop in that period
Preferred stock sell common stock is locked up..thus a drop (banks, founders). Good example for shit going to hell was zynga. Ipo’ed pincus his buddies and the banks all cashed out..stock cratered to like $5 and never came back. That’s not gonna happen with Uber but seen some crazy shit m.
Uber. when they IPO you'll come up big. as for the shitty culture just try to mind your business (not trying to sound like an asshole) but there's shitty people everywhere unfortunately. just be political at work and f em afterwards
Zillow, where can I find some good inventory data trends on your site?
@Citibank you want it so you can write another scare post about housing market price drops?
Uber no brainier
What is a potential upside? If anything Dropbox has a potential downside. GDrive and OneDrive will vanish them in less than 10 years
That bonus tho. That refresh tho.
New job - Dropbox ?..role ?
Dbx is downgrade regardless from uber
