Which company would pay best in 5 years

Mar 18, 2017 23 Comments

Include possibility of an IPO or huge growth.

So to have quantify this for example.

At microsoft if you're a 63 and you're probably around 150 and bonus is at 15% and stock is likely 10 a year so for simplicity let's assume 3% increases in salary and bonus a year but not compound. So 15% and then average it to blend so 7%

So in 5 years

160*5 = 800

24k*5 = 120k

Stock = 50k

+ 20% growth in stock so call it 60k

So over 5 years microsoft is a tad shy of a mil at 980k

Can someone do the math at other companies

    Lyft current valuation $5.5B. At $2-3B in net revenue and breakeven/profitable in a year it's worth around $16-$24B at an 8 P/S ratio, which is fairly low for that level of growth rate.

    Salary $180k x 5 = $900k
    Equity $1.3m at current valuation

    $2.2m over 5 years assuming you don't get any great refreshers and our market cap doesn't increase

    I'm glad you included the Asian Giants here. they stand to gain a lot if they capitalize on Trumps idiocy.

    Grow engineering offices in HK, Singapore, Tokyo. Maybe strike a deal with EU for large hiring in Berlin.

    Make above market rate offers to G, FB, Amzn employees.

    steal core product talent with a sole focus on expanding growth in western markets (they can already easily dominate Eastern market, but are terrible at Western product design).

    The best engineers I know would gladly move abroad to ride out Trump era, if it meant little financial risk.
