Reddit Offer Evaluation

I received an offer from Reddit for Senior Software Engineer FE. Recruiter told me on initial call that the team is on fence for me for Senior and Staff. How difficult is to have that conversation with Reddit to uplevel based on current role and experience. Current Role: L6 FEE@Amazon Reddit Offer: Base: 250K RSUS: 7000 units ($10B valuation) Signin: $30000 How does this offer stand in general for a Reddit offer and need guidance on upleveling conversation.

Sign on can be higher

Amazon random8626 OP Jul 22, 2022

Do you know how much they can give for SignOn?

Reddit QgPO83 Jul 23, 2022

I wouldn’t bet on this

What’s the RSU value in $$ ?

Amazon random8626 OP Jul 22, 2022

Approx $65 per share

Lol DM me which idiot recruiter told you this. It’s literally posted online at 39.65. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-05-31/fidelity-slashes-reddit-stripe-valuations-after-tech-rout

Reddit is $1B, not $10B.

Yea snap market cap is like $16bil and no way Reddit is pulling close to that

Confluent Ytew14 Jul 22, 2022

Snap is a $300M company. It is even worse. Bankrupt soon.

What’s your YOE?

I mean, given that Reddit’s valuation has been written down to closer to $36 a share this is probably a big downgrade from Amazon L6

Reddit hamvolcano Jul 22, 2022

That’s a good offer. I didn’t realize we were now giving sign on bonuses.

Amazon random8626 OP Jul 23, 2022

Yeah I just asked recruiter that I am letting go some of my unvested equity. Probably I will be negotiating around sign on too. Do you happen to know if upleveling is possible at Reddit?

Reddit ploosen Jul 23, 2022

You can def ask but it's almost entirely based on interview performance. HM can't uplevel alone - you may need additional interviews but I'm not sure we do that.

Base puts you at the high end of the senior band, definitely positioning you for a quick promotion to Staff if you do well the first year.

Amazon random8626 OP Jul 23, 2022

Yeah the recruiter said it was a high end of senior or staff. I was more looking for a staff. I want to fight for staff to begin with.

Amazon random8626 OP Jul 23, 2022

What is the value of their share according to current valuation? Is it $60+ or lesser?

Amazon random8626 OP Jul 23, 2022

I see lot of recent posts on Fidelity slashing their value? Are they still giving offer on higher valuation?
