Google competing offer

Does google match pre IPO stocks? A unicorn startup but not big enough. Recruiter said they match only public companies

Only public comp, ++ If FAN offer

They did not match Netflix offer for me.

Google eYiX63 Apr 25, 2018

Could you explain? Do you mean they pay more for people with an offer from FB/Netflix/Amazon?

Nope. Worth a try though, if one of the biggest, they discount equity by 30%

They do match (and beat) unicorns

I think it depends. Something like Airbnb, Uber, Pinterest might carry more weight than a much smaller one. I’ve seen people here using Uber offers to negotiate.

My experience. They put zero value on the startup equity even though it was a unicorn. It wasn't the famous unicorn like Airbnb Uber et al
