Total yoe: 4.5 Current: Microsoft L62 Base 145k / stock 50k total in the next 1.5 year before cliff (after appreciation) Offer1: Expedia SDE3 Base 170k/ sign on bonus 34k / stock 37k over 4 years Offer 2: Highspot Sde2 Base 165k / sign on 20k / 15000 options (current valuation around 15)- might IPO in 2-3 years Still waiting for results from Facebook, but not feeling very confident about an offer Another caveat: got bad rewards in MS , so some concern on job security. Although recent connect went well. More importantly, can’t switch teams within MS anymore. Please let me know which one to go with - stay at MS, Expedia, highspot or simply apply more? Apologies for Intentionally not making this a poll.
Why can’t you change teams within MS? Did you get an IR or ZR?
zr- no ir - infact my connects weren’t bad
Oh. These days joining pre-IPO is turning out very lucrative. Since Expedia is just $34k worth of liquid RSUs, it might be worth a risk to go with HighSpot if you think they’ll do well at the IPO
Poll?
Intentionally didn’t poll. Looking for more subjective answers - polls are normally biased
Ok randi.
Highspot has the more interesting tech stack and the people were interesting last i talked with them. Expedia is ok if you stay away from agent tools division .. or was before Ceo change.
Welcome to Expedia Group :)
Highspot is 4 years vesting w/ 1 year cliff and those are options so you'll still have to exercise. Be sure to factor that into your decision. Seems like a bit of a low-ball offer. I bet they'll match salary and bump the bonus if you tell them Expedia offered more. Doubt they'll give more options though.
What part of Expedia? Could be okay depending on the group. But the company is in a very high anxiety state with the pandemic.
