Got a Flexport offer for a role in the optimization group in LA. Offered TC = $95 base, 10% bonus, 5300 RSU units over 4 years ($26k per year at current $20 valuation) Current TC = $140k (Canada) Yoe: 5 Should I take this offer? I am in a couple of final rounds with LinkedIn, Uber, Salesforce.
$95 is pretty low but I guess it's okay if you compare to someone like Zuckerberg who only makes $1 base.
95k is super low.
It’s less than what you make now, so you should at least negotiate if you want the job
Already negotiated. This is the max that Flexport is willing to go
Are you desperate to leave? If not, wait for a better offer.
Nope lol. That sounds low
You live in Canada where TC is known to be low. And if flexport is offering something lower than that you dont want to take it. Btw the location is LA
Wouldn’t join a start up in this rising interest rate environment
Join
Is a paycut and a CoL increase worth it?
Yes. You won't regret it!
How much are RSUs worth right now?
95 base is very low, I would keep looking. You are making 140, I would recommend to aim for 200+
Gotcha. Do you think this is doable on 5 yoe?
Yes, maybe not everywhere but definitely possible. There’s a guy with 5 yoe with some offers for 300+ you can see ir if you look for “Offers - Apple / instacart” 300 is probably an outlier but 200 is possible
Are you a software engineer? 95k base for a SWE would be bad for even a new grad
Not a software engineer, but engineering background with 5 yoe in bizops strategy
Meh
Why meh?
