The fintech unicorn (not Stripe) has no immediate plans to go public. TC including paper money is higher as is the job level/responsibilities. Also have offers from 2 public non Faang tier (but still fairly well known and respected) where overall TC is lower but stock is liquid so liquid comp is more. These would be first level manager vs 2nd level manager at unicorn startup. Which one would you choose?
Tc or gtfo
These are still ballpark as in verbal discussion stage still. Startup is around 400K (including sign on bonus and RSUs). Public companies are around 300-350K (all inclusive).
paper money and only 50 k more? u don't even have to think about it.
^^^
Now name the companies. There’s not enough info to give an accurate assessment. We don’t know if you’re talking about PayPal or Lyft and the answer will vary based on this
Meaning 350K liquid > 400K (around 250K of which is liquid)?
Meant this as a response to google’s answer.
Yes. Unless you truly believe in the company and it has plan to go public soonish. Even then, 50k more is not worth the risk. But there are other things to consider (growth, project, etc)
Depends on your interests... Are you optimizing for short term cash flow / long term upside / learning opportunity / stability / growth potential etc. That part is personal and just need to introspect and figure out what you want. Once that happens, the actual decision is easy.
Yes, going to spend some time introspecting but wanted to get other opinions to see how they would decide.
Engineering opportunities/culture matters for a decision like this. Name the companies
We"re going to need to see the numbers .
