Hello, I have offers from Box and Rivian. Please advise which offer should I take. Current TC : 140k YOE : 3 years Box Offer : Base -175k, 10k sign on, 8500 stock units ($17 current price) vesting over 4 years. Rivian Offer : Base - 150k, RSUs worth 110k vesting over 4 years. As of now, the offer from Box looks lucrative. However, I don’t see any exponential growth happening in near future for Box. Rivian offer is sort of low but want to know what’s the future of the company. The team is Core Services team. #software #engineering #compensation
The offer is for Redwood city office. This is offer is pretty much final (reached these numbers after negotiation). I have heard a lot of good things about the work culture at Box but I am wondering if Box has any plans of reinventing the product? Since I see a lot of storage service competitors in the market.
How long does the whole interview process take?
Go with Rivian. They are going to grow like crazy. If you can't live off of that base, I would ask Rivian to match the base of your Box offer, even if it means bringing the RSUs down a little. When Rivian goes public, it's going to moon, so you will make it back. If you CAN go on less base, I would see what it would take to max out the Rivian equity. You'll be a millionaire someday! Can't comment (I have no data) on their culture, tho. Box culture is pretty great! But their stock price hasn't gone anywhere in a while.
Agree with @IFTTFU
Hey! Which one did you choose? I’m in a similar position
Where’s the Rivian job at? Is it in Michigan?
Its in the Bay Area. Palo Alto office I believe
Rivian IMO, try to negotiate as much as you can. Rivian has a lot of potential to grow especially because they’re going to be supplying Amazon with vans for delivery. One downside might be that they could be bought out by AMZN in the future because of how much Amazon invests in them lol.
