    Do you have a final approved offer from Aeva? I was given a verbal offer and the recruiter actually calculated the RSUs worth with a projected stock value 🤦‍♀️ coz he kept comparing it with Luminar’s performance and assumed that would be the case.
    He was also not sure of the refreshers or bonus - said it could be 30% but could be less based on how it would be doing 1 yr from now. Also they won’t have mass production until 2024? You should research the lidar space before making a decision.

    I got an offer from Apple and they matched the base pay and added a sign on bonus to it. Aeva’s stock tanked after xpeng’s P5 was announced. In the long run, money or growth wise, nvidia/Apple makes more sense.

      Oh haha. We had the same recruiter then!!! Exact same things. I just declined the offer stating lot of your info is up in the air and best case scenario. And look now. If I would have taken it, my offer would have been one of the lowest lol (I did invest $6k in Aeva stocks which are in loss right now :))

      Right?! Worst recruiter ever!
      I declined it too and got a better position and job title with Apple. I bought some stock too after a VP lectured me about their 4d solution.
      Bad, bad decision! 😬😬

    Only Nvidia would be able to beat that offer unless Apple comes back with ICT4 role which is unlikely but possible.

    If the refresh number is correct then my guess is aeva will be the best offer. But i haven't kept up with recent offers. What is lication ?
