Offer Compare: Airbnb,Dropbox and Google

Background: Current Company: Amazon L5 4.5 YOE TC 200k I interviewed several companies and got the following offers: Dropbox IC3 Seattle 200K Base + 500K## Equity + 20K sign-on. 15% target bonus and has refresher. Airbnb G8/L4 Seattle Still negotiating offer but seems to me the highest I could get is around : 185K + 420K Equity + 40k sign on, 15% bonus and 90k refresher. Google GCP Bay Area Initial offer is low, 167K + 259K equity( front loading policy)+ 25k sign on LinkedIn Bay Area 175K + 300K equity + 40k sign on. 10% bonus No refresher I am struggling with Airbnb and Dropbox mainly because Airbnb is my dream company and I love traveling and definitely also like Airbnb’s product. But compared to Dropbox offer, there is a 60k difference and also Dropbox gave me higher title. Dropbox team is also nice and solid. But my concern for Dropbox is more on its future and also not very interested in its products. Not thinking about Google too much because it offers lower pay and not exciting team. Please advice. #engineering #airbnb #google #dropbox #amazon #compensation #offers

The stock should double once this covid situation dies down.

Also, how were the interviews??

Amazon Endlessnes Aug 22, 2021

Coding is medium (didn’t meet any hard). System design interviewer are nice and quite enjoy it. They have a technical assessment for code review, which is lots of fun and pay attention to testing/null checker/ exception/ styles.

So the on-site were 1 coding, 1 sys design, and the code review?

I would choose DB. Also, make a poll.

Congrats on the offers. Airbnb’s product is great, and there is probably more upside to their stock compared to Dropbox. I would choose Airbnb!

Dropbox if you want to stay leveled and have a good work life balance. Airbnb otherwise
