Been at Apple for 3 yrs. Tired of my daily routine. Time to decide whether or not to leave. Then got an offer from Roblox: Been keen on game dev and CG for yrs. Other offer: waiting for Google's team match but it takes forever and it's only L3(I did the interview early this year). Should I accept Roblox's offer then..? #roblox #salary
Congrats! Roblox evaluating its stock at $25 is confusing. At $4B, it's $6. So it's 4 times, about 16B?
Thanks! And I'm also confused with the price. I'm not familiar with these financial problems so I'm here looking for some guidance.
OP, isnt that options? Airbnb is right and I remember seeing other offers where the strike was around $6-$8 and they're selling the offer by saying the price could hit $25 in yeah next 4 years
Apple TC ?
Roblox doesn’t do game dev
Depend on which team to work on, the language of choice is all over the place
They are using a future value for their rsu. So when comparing with another offer you should also use an expected value after 4 years to compare.
That’s awful. Companies >$1B should use the value of stock if sold *today*. There is no more 10x growth (over market or public tech companies) to be had.
^This is how my offers were for series B/C/D post 1B valuation. Caveat: Doordash did this, and the math came out to some $20k/yr, which pales in comparison to Google. But then they 20x’d in valuation, so it’d be a good offer now. However, that’s a 1/100 decacorn thing, which I don’t think Roblox can do.
I’m obviously biased here, but if you think the work is going to more interesting to you and the comp is about the same, I’d say do the thing that you’ll enjoy more.
Biased here as well, but if the work is what your interested in, come on over! All I can say is the company is doing REALLY well. If you have more questions feel free to DM
I didn't get an offer, but am interested in working for Roblox and had some questions. Can I DM you too? Or just ask them here?
Of course!
Congratulations! I joined Roblox a couple of months ago and I love it. Great culture and lots of product growth. My only unbiaised advice about deciding which offer to accept: think about your career growth 3y from now and see which offer would take you closer to your objective. Google is obviously a well respected company but depending on the team you join, you might not have as much freedom as in a maturing midsize company like Roblox

The feeling I got from people that worked from Roblox was meh but take that with a grain of salt. I believe they code in .NET so that may be a plus. Depends on what you are looking for really. The company is valued at 4 billion and backed by Horowitz so that is a good sign.
Not sure if I will touch their backend that much but I did hear that their code base is a bit old tho. Looking for some space to improve myself and learn, I think that's where Roblox will definitely do better to me than my current team does.
Were you able to do some Q&A with them? I would think that would help alot, especially in getting a sense of their front end stack.
