So got an offer for figma but it’s a Pay cut and also would be a step back in my career but I love the company. I’m in qa at workday with tc $190k and figma tc would be $130k with $100k equity. Is it worth it for the pay cut? I’d also be going to a support role and honestly I’m not even sure the ipo payout would be more than my normal refreshers. (50-60k) Stay at workday or go to figma? Thanks all!! Edit- I shoulda premised that I wanna grow into qa more. At workday the qa’s aren’t really qa, we don’t code or are technical. So I would be ok with a pay cut if it meant getting a chance at growing into a role that I wouldn’t usually have a chance at. I also haven’t been through an ipo so wanted to be fully confident I wasn’t walking away from something I’d regret
Bruh wtf. It’s a step back and you’re taking less pay? Hell no don’t take that. I’d understand if you wanted to pivot into a different role, if you hated your job, or if you needed a job asap due to a layoff. But jumping ship for less pay and a role you don’t want makes no sense to me. You could join them, not get along with your team, and no longer “love the company”. All while being stuck in a role you don’t want while making less. That’s a no for me dawg. Tell figma to design a better TC package
Penny-wise pound-foolish
How is this a paycut 130k + 100k = 230k?
That paycut is crazy bro. You kidding me? People want to progress in life, not regress.
Hope Op took the offer and not listen to you
WD = Western Digital, respect the name conventions
I always thought WD = western dental. My apologies, I’m always listening and will do better
It’s a trademark. Google ‘WD’ to dilute your ignorance.
Good product != great company culture. Think twice
Figma Balls naw mean? Nah dude just stay at WD and interview for good companies that will pay you right for QA stuff
Figma is known for lowball non-negotiable offers because they value their stock highly. Company culture seems good but they just don’t pay well on paper. Your recruiter should be able to show you company finances to let you value the company appropriately. They are better off then other start ups IMO, but it’s BS that they pay so low and put a lot of risk/trust on employees.
+1. If a company is going to make a offer non-negotiable, it better be a damn good offer
I’d pick Figma

No company is worth a paycut unless it’s your own.
I think it was worth it
