In this climate equity is king

What about base salary at Waymo/Lime? Is it the same? @OP At Amazon new grads get like 118k base I think. Considering that, 140k is decent. For equity the problem is AMZN stock is already above $2000 so you'd never know how it'll be 4 yrs from now. If you're thinking sign-on vs equity, go for sign on if you're planning on staying only for a couple of years. If you're planning on staying longer go for equity. What do you guys think? @Blind community
