AirBnB vs LinkedIn (Senior Software Engineer)

I have an offer from the two companies. Here are the details LinkedIn (Sunnyvale) — Base: 175k, Stocks: 300k, Sign on: 75k (Senior) AirBnB (SF) — Base: 167k, Stocks: 420k, Sign on: 15k (L4) I have 5 yoe. I will prefer work life balance over anything else. I have heard that LinkedIn doesn’t have a stock refresher policy. AirBnB on the other hand has some $90k stock refreshers. Really appreciate any help here in making a decision.

What product do you like more? LI or AirBnB?

Facebook YbCl28 OP Apr 26, 2018

I have been using both the products, they are great. I will be inclined towards LI more since I use the app more frequently than AirBnB, partly because I don’t travel much #sigh

I think this is a good reason to join LI. I don’t use AirBnB because I found their prices to be higher than hotel prices the last time I checked. Good luck!

If you care about WLB, definitely LinkedIn. I’ve heard AirBnB WLB is not so great

Airbnb is great in wlb. I work like 4 hours a day. Not much challenging environment though.

LinkedIn def refreshes stocks. If you want WLB LinkedIn is great

U can get that Airbnb offer higher if they think you’re serious. I know seniors that got 180-200 and 700-850k eq but they also weren’t fishing in a shallow pond like LinkedIn.

LinkedIn. We are far away from going public. Negotiate with linked in and join them.

How far?

Airbnb NewAirFam Apr 26, 2018

No one knows. We don't have a CFO now. So we need to first hire a CFO and then strategize going public. My gut feeling is mid 2020.
