Airbnb offer

I recently got offer from Airbnb sfo for l5. Numbers: Base:215 Rsu: $800k Signing: 45 Profile: 6.5 yoe Microsoft 64, Seattle My recruiter told me that they will be giving rsus based on latest 409a valuation ($126.5 per rsu). I had heard that they usually give rsus based on latest funding round( which was in 2017 at $105 per rsu). Can somebody from @airbnb or somebody who recently got the offer confirm on this? Note: if you have questions regarding interviews, DM me.

Private companies have no actual share value so what your recruiter actually means is that they are giving you 800k/126 = 6350 units of RSU. If you value them at 105 you can calculate your new offer accordingly. The actual dollar value is immaterial anyway.

Thanks! My question was: has somebody got rsus at $105 from them recently?

Someone from Airbnb can comment on that but what I'm saying is that's immaterial. Your offer is of 6350 RSU and not 800k. Recruiter is doing that math and giving you a dollar amount. So IMO what you should be asking is how much RSUs do L5s get on average :) my 2 cents of course

Great offer. My friend there said the average quality of the engineers is low and not much to learn, but pay is awesome.

Why is the average low? I thought their interviews are tough

Question pool is very small and all leaked

I got quoted the same RSU price ($126) for my L5 offer. Didn't take it though.

Thanks! When was this? Any specific reason to reject Airbnb?

Qualtrics '๐Ÿˆš๐Ÿ€„๐ŸŽถ๐Ÿˆถ' Apr 18, 2019

2 weeks ago, poor team/role match due to low headcount. Your offer is bigger though because I wanted to stay in Seattle and my YoE is shorter.

Very similar offer recently - 6000 RSUs (at $105 which does not matter).
