Got offers from both for Seattle, where to go? Currently L5 at Google making about 330k total per year. Facebook offers E5: 185 base/15% yearly bonus/600 stock/50 sign on Dropbox offers L4: 205 base/20% yearly bonus/600 stock/50 sign on Stock is over 4 years. Dropbox stock is valued at $11.46 and has 1 year cliff. No cliff at Facebook.
What's your salary split at Google?
I thought L5 at google gets more than 330k
Negotiate FB with Dropbox and do FB
Definitely FB. Dropbox is a great company but unlikely to exceed its valuation in IPO. So not really much upside. And Youâre getting no liquidity premium. Would be an irrational decision.
I'm surprised he couldn't negotiate Dropbox tho especially with FB
Even at the potential IPO valuation of $18/share, which is best case, TC is 448K/year. FB TC is 396K. IMO 13% is Not nearly enough of a premium to make up for added risk. BUT if you think DB team is great go for it. Itâs close enough. Theyâre smaller and probably have better ability to impact. The stock though may struggle as they have not figured out a strategy.
What are your l6 prospects in google?
Whatâs your experience?
Over 10 years
The one with the team you like more. Comp isn't relevant.
Fb. Do you see what happened to Snap? Not all IPOs are great. FB is guaranteed, Dropbox are 1/3 of their highest valuation. That should say something.
Take offers back to google and have them match it. If not, try Dropbox. Both are great offers.
Problem is neither of them really beat his current google offer by much
Itâs not a problem for matching. 125k annual stock means the OP probably has 500k RSU. Google can tack on an extra 100k, and a base bump. I suppose it is a problem for moving though. Youâd probably want a sweeter pot. Dropbox public stock is a bit of a wild card though. It could be interesting.
Isnât Dropbox going to IPO at a higher price than your offer? Iâd go with Dropbox
If I read correctly Salesforce invested at a price of $18 per share of preferred stock
Does that mean I should evaluate Dropbox stock 50% more, since I get it at 11, but can theoretically sell at 18?
