It WAS a direct competitor with Okta until the latter recently bought them.

If it's your only offer, no brainer

Okta drowgin Jul 11, 2021

Solid offer. Staff is 250-350 TC from everything I have seen during my time here.

How do bonuses and refresers work at okta? I know auth0 does not offer them officially atm but hoping that may change if they are offered at the mothership.

Okta drowgin Jul 11, 2021

For otka, April and October are cycles for promo and refreshers. If you're doing well, you can land a small % base increase and RSU refreshers. E.g. 40k over 4yr at each period.

It looks like it's basically the same you're getting in cash with the addition of stock. That stock is a huge benefit though and it builds wealth over time. Congratulations 👏 Is there no yearly cash bonus at Okta? That's a difference I'm seeing from my TC.

Yes, that's my thinking. Cash TC is the same plus a pile of okta stock. Not sure about okta bonuses, perhaps someone else can weigh in. Auth0 was only recently acquired so their pay structure/HR hasn't merged fully yet. I was told auth0 did not do bonuses in their startup days but that may change as they integrate with okta. Until then I assume not.

Okta TiredOfBay Jul 14, 2021

Yes. Okta has cash bonuses every March. Not sure of % at staff level

Good offer.

Eh?

Okta makaron Jul 12, 2021

It’s so high!!! Many don’t even get 200K base

Okta doll$h Jul 11, 2021

I clearly need to negotiate my base salary at okta here

Okta okta!! Jul 12, 2021

I think 250k is base + yearly bonus.

Okta makaron Jul 12, 2021

It clearly said $250K base not base + bonus

i heard Okta refresher fully vested after 90 days. Is it true?

Okta makaron Jul 13, 2021

No. 1 year cliff for initial RSU you receive when you join, then vesting quarterly thereafter. For the refreshers, no 1 year cliff, vests every quarter for the next 4 years

Okta kg42vvgw Jul 15, 2021

It is insane to see this 250k base offer for staff level. Okta is desperate. Chief security officer’s base is 241k from h1bdata.info, and many directors, principals and architects base is much less. We need control Auth0’s spending.

Agreed that 250k base is high, but I’m sure others have a lot more stocks. Btw the cso is on H1B visa?

Okta kg42vvgw Jul 15, 2021

It appears that way. The website data seems pretty accurate.
