Updated, thanks.
Apple will look good on the resume and that TC will go far in Austin.
But the team is Apple wallet & pay, i am not sure how the team is.
Squarespace has amazing WLB, a fantastic office, and a really cool team. Can't recommend it enough
I disagree, Squarespace is the most stressful place I’ve worked. Coworkers treat people badly, leadership makes stressful, huge changes without telling anyone. Some people like it, some people don’t.
Did you get offer from IS&S org in apple? Is it Ads Team?
This is data engineering team of Wallet and Apple pay.
Okay
When you listed this part for Squarespace, “May give 10% yearly stock refreshers based on performance.” where did you hear that? From the recruiter? I’ve been at Squarespace a long time and I’ve never heard of this policy. Refreshers are pretty much guaranteed and expected every year, based on a % of the standard equity grant of your level, no 10% figure. I would push back hard on that part because you might be getting pretty unfair refreshers compared to others. The amount of refreshers over 4-5 years should roughly be equal to 1/4 of your original grant.
The recruiter told me that apart from the RSU I am getting initially, every year based on my performance i will get some percentage of stock refreshers which is 10-15% of my inital grant
You should ask them to really clarify that. Is it 10-15% vesting over the next 4 years (so basically 2.5% to 4% vesting yearly, meaning 4 years of refreshers is only a total of 10-15% of the initial grant)? I think you’re getting a non-standard, bad deal on the refreshers. If it’s not a deal breaker for you, then let it slide, but Squarespace raises and promos are bad so I would negotiate for higher refreshers, like 25% of the initial grant, and get it in writing in the offer letter.
Op can i dm
Sure
Know quite a bit about sqsp data eng. Feel free to dm for any questions if you're still considering the offer.
I work on the Data team at Squarespace. Summarizing all of the shit in 1 word, it’s bad. Feel free to DM to get juicy details. If I were in your shoes, I would go with the Apple offer.
Thanks a lot for your review, it will help everyone. I am considering Apple as they have increased my comp by 10K after negotiation
Great to hear Apple budged a bit on the numbers! I’m excited for you :)
make it a poll, that will helps you a lot..
Updated the post, thanks for the suggestion.
