Just got this offer from Square and wondering how it looks and how best to counter: L6 $190k base $700k RSUs over 4 $15k sign on I’m in loop at Dropbox, Twitter, Stripe, and Facebook, but I’d prefer Square if comp is roughly equal. I’m also just tired of interviewing and with the holidays coming up, thinking of countering with what I’d need to just immediately accept. Current TC varies as I’m self employed, but $350-400. i have my own reasons for giving that up. UPDATE: just for anyone wondering, I countered and they came back with an offer I accepted: $200k base / $800k RSUs / $20k signing.
Base is low for L6
Interesting, I kind of assumed equity would be easier to negotiate than base. How low is it?
Base is not low for SQ L6.
If it is same level as fb then it should be 230k base and 800k rsu at least
Levels has it right on line between E5 and E6 at FB.
Location ? Base is determined by Col
SF or NYC
I have friends at stripe who are very happy there. I recommend that you wrap up your interview there before making a decision.
I got roughly same offer (800k rsu). Ended up choosing stripe tho.
Yeah, I countered at 215 base / 860k RSUs, so $430k total. We’ll see... How do you like Stripe? How’d their offer compare?
They probably won’t agree to it. Similar to Square but I chose Stripe for the growth potential
I had an offer from square a few months ago and compared my fb comp and dropbox offer it was wildly low for the same level, about 2/3 of the next highest. I had the same inclination that all things being equal i would have loved to work there but it wasn’t an option. Shared competing offers with them and didn’t help much either.
Just for anyone wondering, I countered and they came back with an offer I accepted: $200k base / $800k RSUs / $20k signing.
congrats offer looks good
How is your self employed comp so high?
I’m really good at it 😀
Different clients or just one?
