Getting an offer, but have no idea what I should strive for. What should I ask for? I have ~5 years of experience and SDE3. Comp for this year will be 280k at current stock price. Is 170-180k for base reasonable?

    Be prepared for the "we pay less because we give more options and they are worth this much now and will be worth this much later so believe us and take a lower base, bonus, benefits..." speech

  • They pay well, trust me, but the options are going be hard to price, especially nowadays with delivery companies dying left and right. The IPO date seems to keep moving back too. Personally I asked and got more base and fewer options. A lot of things have to go right for an IPO to happen.

    Love the day to day work though.

  • You should interview at DoorDash instead cause we're crushing Postmates product wise. They just have drastically superior branding so it seems like they're doing well.

    Realistically, I don't see a future for that kind of business

      Also interviewed at Dropbox on-site this week :) We'll see how that goes. I tend to agree, hard to make this model work. You gotta be more frugal than Amazon to make those margins work :/

    180k is reasonable ;)
