Do not accept it. Stay at where you are. This market not good to move on with a company like Paypal. Lot of competition and Amazon gonna stay on top of it.
I understand, I do know about PayPal culture but I am done with the Amazon PIP factory. :(. I do plan complete other interviews I started as well.
Is PayPal culture bad?
Is your current tc base salary only? If so, I wouldnt move
It is total compensation Base is 163K
Then take it. PayPal should be less cutthroat than Amazon but you'll probably find that it moves at a snail's pace (although I dont know what it's been like of late, the new ceo looks promising). It's the biggest and most established fintech in the industry fwiw
I work from Europe and looking at your comp I want to cry
Well don't. Europe has great WLB and free healthcare etc.
Grateful for that but I still pay out of pocket if I go see a doctor. Healthcare is not free, itβs what I pay 50% taxes for. At your compensation level you can get a really good healthcare coverage. My stock over 3 years is 35k USD, just as a small comparison. Real peanuts π₯
Your offer is very good π !
Cash looks great as per me. May be room for more stock ?
I would personally prefer more cash than over stock but do you think I can negotiate for more base would be harder for this number.
Max 225 may be.
