Snap L5; Google L5 offers

Thinking of doing FB -> Snap. Snap L5 $200k base, $1.5M RSU $50k sign on = $600k.. some serious dough.. Google L5 $180k base $700k RSU $50k sign on = $380k or so.. which is less than my TC. Currently E5 making $400k (3rd year at FB. stock has been flat past 2 years) Snap is in LA, Google is in SF

Take Snap. They may be close to irrelevant and you can always go to google later if you pass hiring committee

Facebook toda OP Mar 28, 2019

Yeah. I mean Snap stock needs to drop 50% for it to match Google. How is Google LA office btw ? If Snap doesn't work out, I may join Google LA after a year.

It can drop more than 50%. Snap is trading just above $10 now. I see its recent low was below $5.

+1 take Snap - L5 pays as staff or more comparing to other places

Are you in Snap LA? Can I DM you?

Is Google not willing to budge given your snap offer?

Facebook toda OP Mar 28, 2019

That's the max. Google base is lower than my current base ($195k base now)

Twitch highfart Mar 28, 2019

This is news. Google is saying F U, even to fb.. not surprised they do it for snap

Yoe?

Facebook toda OP Mar 28, 2019

11

Amazon B0z0s Mar 28, 2019

+1 for Snap. What's your YOE? Depending on that with that offer you'd probably try L6 at other places.

Facebook toda OP Mar 28, 2019

L6 is a stretch. 11 YOE. E5 is at FB

Amazon B0z0s Mar 28, 2019

Looks worth a shot. 10 years is the minimum baseline for external L6 hiring generally.

Yahoo mommy Mar 28, 2019

Curious, how did you get 380K with that split? Are you not including sign-on in the TC?

Amazon BallsOfSea Mar 28, 2019

Does anyone know if snap pays that much for L5 in Seattle?

Snapchat snapaholic Mar 29, 2019

yes pay is the same

Agree with the others that you can take the $$$ at snap and jump ship the second things start to go downhill
