I have an offer from Roblox, and I would like to get insight into whether it's a good offer for a Senior Engineering Manager role at Roblox.

Sign-on bonus: $50,000
Base salary: $300,000
Stock options: 100,000 (30k options granted yearly - strike price will adjust)
Current strike price: $6.50
The target strike price in 4 years: $25
No yearly bonus
YOE: 22

Current TC: ~$550,000, but no chance of growing much in the future

    The only problem is roblox offers are stingy, which means even if the value quadruples, you’re just barely making the same TC as a FANG. The only way to get ahead is if the stock goes 5x or more in 4 years. And that’s a lot of risk.

      @Google .. your calc is using the post split target price with the pre split option count. If the target is $25 now, the pre split target would be $50. Op is going to break the bank assuming he/she accepted the offer and these targets hold up if/when Roblox goes public

      This is a post-split offer, so Google’s calculations are correct.

    If target is 25 dollars in 4 yesrs that would mean at least 4x growth at more then 20B valuation which is more than Epic Games which has unreal and fortnight, which is unlikely considering how shitt their games are and the growth during the pandemic is probably temporary since all the kids are trapped at home wasting time on their shitty games. I also heard it sucks working their, OP is better off going to a real engineering place like google they gives real money.
