Currently at FANG, 5 YOE, TC ~330K. Cruise offer: ~ 230K(base)/90K(bonus)/300K(RSU,4yrs)/25K(signing bonus).
What’s a “cruise offer”?
A company called “cruise automation”
Basically fixing Tom Cruise
That’s approaching 400K TC, sounds phenomenal. What is even your confusion?
I work in Seattle. Need to relocate to SF, more taxes, etc.
Okay, that’s a tough decision. I think adjusted TC is about the same. It depends on your flexibility to relocate and your preference for AV vs your current field. How are the refreshers at Cruise?
Congrats! What is the job title? If it’s ok, can u plz share ur education background?
What position ?
AV SWE C++
So you just need to know C++ for your role ?
You want to go from FANG to being a general motors employee? Why? Note that any claims of autonomy after acquisition are BS
Another thing to consider is the equity part at Cruise will be still paper money and IPO is not near in the horizon. With that being said, if the offer was from Seattle, I would have taken it without doubt. For Bay Area, cost of living compared to Seattle can be a concern!
Do none of you realize that general.motors bought cruise? Oram I missing something?
No, they didn’t buy Cruise; they invested in Cruise. Google has invested in Lyft but that doesn’t mean Google bought Lyft. They offer equity of the company (not in terms of GM stocks) as shares based on their current valuation. Just like any pre-IPO company, it’s paper money and can be of zero value if it never IPO’s.
Still 320 k for a startup type environment is great.. work for 5 years min . Remember not all people who work at FANG get paid well
Startup? General motors? GM bought cruise two years ago. The ignorance on this thread is making me question all the blind advice ever
Bro the RSU for cruise are still separate. GM only invested 800 million . I interviewed with them . They haven’t bought them out
I rejected that offer last October. Same concern. I was in Seattle and I had to relocate to SF. Meant I would have taken a pay cut. If it were Seattle I would have accepted for sure.
Cruise has office in Seattle (Bellevue) , I had attended a event few weeks back and met in person 4-5 people working from Bellevue office...one of them was a manager and said they have a new space to be opened soon to accommodate about 200+ people
did they mention where the new office would be to accomodate 200+? somewhere else in Bellevue?
So... a pay cut with a signing bonus? No thanks.
90K is annual performance bonus. There is a signing bonus of 25K I forgot to mention.
Ahh in that case solid offer!
