Start up:
~200k cash
Options corresponding to 70k net gain ( using gain = (stock price -strike price) * # of contracts) assuming no growth, ~1 million at 5x growth, etc. Obviously could be worth 0 as well.
perks: (food stipend, wellness stipend, learning budget, unlimited PTO with minimum, etc)

Amazon:
Base- 145k
First year bonus- ~50k
2nd year bonus- ~35k
RSUs- current value of ~115k over 4 years at 5/15/40/40 vesting

So comp is basically 200k each year. Which I’d get in straight cash at the start up. They said this was their top of band offer but seems objectively worse than the start up.

Current TC: 155, 2 YOE
