Received offer from a pre IPO automotive startup valued at $3b. Going to IPO next year early through SPAC merger. (Don’t know if this is still called IPO). Role:Staff SWE Base: 190K Equity: 240K (not known if RSU or options) Signon:$5k Location: Bay Area YOE: 6 Current job: work at NASA so government payscale (<120k) #equity #startup #offer #evaluate
For the scope and responsibilities you'd have, whats the closest job level at FAANG or other late-stage startups? That should give you some comparable data to baseline against. My hunch is the equity is low unless the job title is inflated by 2 levels
Might be close to L5 at Amazon
This is a great offer, even if the options don’t work out at the end, you have got a big jump in base. I have HR resources if you would like help negotiating the offer.
Dmed you
Is this Rivian? If yes, great offer by their standards
Curious how this worked out. Based on NASA experience we probably have some overlap - please shoot a DM if you don't mind.
Take it since even the base destroys current TC
Yep govt doesn’t offer you stock options either
