It's probably a stupid question. But, what are you taking?

How much experience do you have?

FB equity looks low. If they can increase to $700k, go with FB.

Google Facebook May 2, 2018

They can’t: 600 is the absolute top. OP’s sign on is extraordinary tho.

Fb stock can go up to 800 for L5. It's very rare but it does happen.

Dropbox

Amazon jf749g May 2, 2018

Ok 👍🏼

Daimler 3$420C May 2, 2018

Am curious. Are these salaries the norm these days? Or do you have to be exceptional for such offers. Especially Lyft, is that normal for L5

Deutsche Bank Hotch May 3, 2018

I don't think they are the norm. Such high salaries are prevalent only for FANG and a few other companies

Lazard fin/tech May 3, 2018

Norm for top companies.. sure

Doesn't Intuit pay well too? Can you share your TC? At Oracle most of my senior engineer colleagues make around 160k. Now that's depression worthy.

Intuit WolfBlitzr May 2, 2018

165k base, 45k stocks split in 3 years, 10% bonus

What was your strategy? Did you reveal your current level + package?

Google VQms32 OP May 2, 2018

I told recruiters my level after they asked. On one hand it prevents under-slotting, otoh it also prevents over-slotting. EDIT: I didn't reveal my current comp, and they were not allowed by law to ask.

Are you L5 at Google?

Lyft is not IPOing anytime soon. Take that equity with a grain of salt and value it at what it should be: $0.

Daimler 3$420C May 2, 2018

Says the failed stock TWTR

eBay tUio71 May 3, 2018

Even if they don't ipo soon, why do you say take value as 0?
