Current TC is 210,000 + 300k equity over 4 years, +20% annual bonus. It’s great $ but company is newly public and recently stock dipped by about 50%. My job is horrible and currently there’s a mass exodus.
Expedia is offering 235k salary, 25k sign on, no bonus structure, (the sign on is the bonus they say) and some undetermined amount of RSUs, I’d assume equal to current role.
I’d be managing a far bigger and more skilled team which I really enjoy.
But is this move worth it? Anyone know about the UX/Design culture at Expedia right now?

But…I’ve had a VERY strange interview process with them. I’ve met with 2 HR and the hiring manager - who was pretty low energy and didn’t ask any behavioral or skill-based questions.
This role has been open for over a year.
It
Yet the interview process has dragged on for months, for a Director level role. They can’t seem to cement the comp discussion (above is the latest but it keeps changing from initial bonus is a sign-on to it being added to salary - huge difference - and no lens on RSUs - which I don’t see a ton of value in over the next two years…?)
They also cannot define for me what verticals I’ll be overseeing or how many team members I’ll be managing. Yet they’ve asked for a VERY prescriptive case study review around leadership, problem/solution/impact - which I would taylor very differently for running a design team for a white label / partner-focused vertical v. Say, their Rewards vertical. As well as for managing managers or a team of ICs.
These case studies take at least 20 hours to create, and I don’t want to throw darts and miss the target.
And, the scheduling team has been a nightmare. They’ve taken over a month to schedule this case study panel - I blocked off time for it over and over and kept having to reach out and tell them I could not hold time without something on the books. They ended up scheduling the panel for the ONE day I said I could not meet.
I guess my real question has become - is this typical discombobulation and is it a company that’s worth struggling through this process for? I love the travel space but I guess I’m just not as confident about them as I was months back.
Anyway, good luck, OP! I’m sure you’ll make the right choice for you.
