I’ve got 3 offers on the table, listed in order of preference. I really wanted to like Crowdstrike but they left a bad taste in my mouth after the VP asked for a copy of the other offers then decided he wouldn’t counter. Also some red flags in the interview with him. Too bad because the team otherwise was awesome. Pure is doing some pretty cool things to modernize their stack. Seem to be a highly intelligent team. I’m leaning hard towards the series b. They’re in an interesting vertical and have a potential for acquisition or IPO in 2 years. I definitely enjoy the chance to have my hands in a lot of things across the business and probably won’t have that in a public company. Offer 1: Series B startup Director of Eng Base: $235k Options: $50k TC: 235k (too early stage to count options) Offer 2: Pure Storage Eng Mgr Base: $180k Options: $60k/yr TC: 240k Offer 3: Crowdstrike Eng Mgr Base: $160k Options: $50k/yr Bonus: $20k TC: $230k Current TC: $175k LCOL area TL;DR talk me out of the startup. Also posting for reference for others.
Which team @ Pure storage?
How is crowdstrike giving options?
Probablly RSU's
They give out RSUs on a 25% each year.
What red flags did you find in CrowdStrike?
Pure Storage does not give options, it gives RSU, maybe you have copy-paste error above. OP, is this SWE Manager? 240K TC seems too low. Also Pure has bonuses that you did not include above.
Yeah, pure wound up giving me an offer at 350 TC (200/40/110 base/bonus/RSU) but wants a relo to Bay Area. Original post was a ballpark from the recruiter for a remote position/ LCOL area
200/40/110 base/bonus/RSU sounds right. In any case, we are all remote till the end of the year, and my guess is this might extend even further. The eventual relocation of the Bay Area does not seem bad. Lots of folks complain the Bay Area is too expensive, however, the increased comp + better opportunities in the Bay Area more than compensate for the increased expense. Do you have personal reasons to not move to the Bay Area due to family reasons?
What did you choose in the end OP?
Pure storage is pure garbage
care to elaborate
