Is it worth the move?

Sr. software enfineer at blackline base: $160k RSU: $75k over 4 years 10% annual bonus. NO signing bonus. location is bay area. YoE: 2 years current TC $175k, no refreshers as we just went private. I am really very confused, is worth the move? I am currently well settled in my job, have good domain knowledge and capable of leading a project in near future. any insights would be helpful. thanks for your time,

So same money overall? Tldr; I'd stay unless blackiline will set you up for a big boost in success or growth If you really like where you are and you have growth potential, see where it goes. I only jump jobs that pay same or slightly less if it helps me down the line. I also know that if you have a real chance to lead and like your current culture, it sets you up for a great learning experience.

That’s a great advice. Yes, you’re right. It almost the same pay. Work at blackline is interesting as new platform is being built. I’ll try to negotiate, it can sweeten the deal, I’ll jump or stay at my current job. Thanks, TheStreets.
