Hello, Want to discuss 2 offers Blend l3 -> 165K base -> 10k sign on -> 105K options over 4 years (estimated strike price 3) Amazon (AI team) sde2 -> 175K base -> 230k signon over 2 years -> 88 stocks over 4 years Google (Already decline) l3 -> TC 275 Yoe 5 The blend seems like a great company with strong growth potential and filed for IPO already but the strike price for the options is still unknown? Where as a team in Amazon is really good and I don't have any experience working in AI team before #Blend #amazon #offers
Why declined Google? Your Amazon offer for SDE2 seems way out of range - 300K is TCT or joining bonus?
Sorry it’s 230k
TCT, right?
How would one value the options? If you get around 25k options per year, is there a way to think about how much that might be at IPO (price per share)? If they’re filing to IPO soon does that mean they’re expecting to go public at much higher than $3?
Can’t say or speculate much about blend value for obvious reasons, but what I can say on the offer pkg is that it’s not a high one for IC3. That’s a mid band IC3 pkg, and you should negotiate your package upwards with those other offers. If successful, it’s likely the best choice. Upper range of base is 175-180k. Upper range of stock options should be 120k units but this may have changed.
I tried a lot to negotiate but recruiter didn’t increase much
what was the final number of options?
105k is the number of options? How much does it translate into $ value
Hi how were your interviews at blend? What to expect in first managerial round?
My HM round was 1 LC, one SD and background questions. HM said they’d schedule me for a front end on-site loop, onsite was a 100% backend loop and got rejected with no feedback. Seems like a pretty disorganized company.
5 YOE Google only give you L3? But with 275k tc which is high even for L4?
Location?
Blend. Too much turmoil at Amazon. They seem to have a revolving door policy. Thats why the package looks so good on the front end.
