I got an offer from Apple, offer letter needs to be signed in few days. I’m going through FB interviews which would get finished before Apple joining date. FB hr gave me an estimate on how offer might look like. I felt its better mainly interms of stock units although base and bonues are slightly different. Q) Any one did that with FAANG companies ? is it okay to do that? especially if they are not willing to match?are there any problems doing that? RSU: 140 vs 210k apple TC: 210k exp : 7 years
That's fine.
That’s fine. You’ll burn a bridge with Apple but if that’s worth 17.5k in stock/ yr that’s your choice. One things to keep in mind is that Apple refreshers generally make up for smaller initial grants.
Gotcha, just to understand better, are you saying FB won’t do refreshers ? And Apple refreshers are more than 20k per year ? Can you give me little more insight if you don’t mind ?
FB does do refreshers. Generally Apple give out a bit more. Can’t promise you’ll get exactly 17.5K more per year. My point tho is that it looks like the compensation difference will be <10% so I’d focus more on the team and the opportunities than the stock. This is just my opinion.
Is this for FB E5? Those numbers look low for SWE?
You’re asking if it’s ok to accept a job when you already have a job? People do it every day............
I’m asking, is it okay accept the offer letter but not join - Incase if I get through the other company or the right thing is try try hard to postpone the deadline to sign ?
Just sign. And if you get a better offer, take it. Doesn’t matter if you’ve already started the first job or not. They don’t own you. You’re free to quit at any time (or not start all).
