Plaid v.s. Rippling

Feb 8 49 Comments

Got offers from Plaid and Rippling.

Plaid: TC 500K
Rippling: TC 540K

240K-ish Base for both and the rest is equity (both are in RSU).

Plaid seems to have pretty good culture. My only concern is about the upside with the 13B valuation.

Any suggestions on the offer and why?

Current TC 420K, YOE 8

    To all the people saying Plaid has limited upside, Stripe was a 10B company not too long ago and in only a matter of a few years is now a 100B company. Don't get anchored on current valuation. Choose a company whose business is strong, ability to hire talented people and your own interests. Then just join that company and give it your all. Financially, it may or may not work out.

    I can only speak for Plaid, but it's the best fucking culture I've ever experienced in tech. And I've worked in tech for 15 years. As with any company, the culture is always in flux, but the management and the CEO are very competent.

    Come join us and you won't regret it. Linkedin is a great comapny to work at, but having worked at a FAANG I can tell you that you will be doing so much more fulfiling work at Plaid. There is just so much to be done, that your area of ownership will be v high. Plus people are very generous with their time.

    Plaid vs Rippling WLB: 4.3 vs 2.7
    It would be obvious for me, but everybody has different priorities.

    With recent stock market dump on growth stocks. Stripe real valuation is probably 25 billion, while plaid is probably 2.5 billion.

    But new employee will still be getting stock based on the 10+B valuation which is not realistic.

      I do want to jump to startup at some point, but probably not now and not when their valuation done during the peak of stock market. It is not saying Plaid is not getting to reach 100B market cap in the future

    Fintech was overvalued in 2021. I would be careful about Plaid. Rippling has potential to grow to 25b easily so you can easily 4x your equity

      “Easily” is a bad word here. Nothing about it will happen easily. But it’s possible, and imo better odds than most startups in a similar position
