Got two offers to decide between and I'm a bit conflicted. Neither beat current comp hugely but I'm kind of tired of my current role. Airbnb 195/550/20 TC ~370 including bonus target The team is a bit smaller and less interesting to me. Refreshes are more straightforward, target 140-160k, vests over 4 years. Stripe 190/145/0 TC ~360 including bonus target There seems to be more room for career growth here but that's also a bit of an arbitrary opinion. Brand new refresh policy, target is 1-3x initial grant but only for top 50% performers. Refresh vest is split over 2 years. YOE 5 Edit: Airbnb offered 400TC and said manager is supportive of finding good interest fits later on if the initial team doesn't work out.
What level are both places?
Airbnb said senior, stripe is probably L2 so I don't think I can push them much higher even though I'm more interested in their work.
Also what’s the refresh multiplier the stripe recruiter shared with you? I just accepted an offer with them and they also mentioned this is in the works. Thanks!
"for top 50% performers" man... pitting people against each other. Won't build genuine team work environment
Doesn't stripe also only award stocks based on value, not number of shares granted? In other words, you don't vet gains on unvested stocks. I would join airbnb and make it clear to stripe that I'm rejecting them because of that policy.
Correct, the number of shares is recaululated every year.
If choosing between two pre ipo companies, this is a dealbreaker. But airbnb has ipoed, so stripe has more upside in this case.
Stripe is very suspect.
Go with Airbnb. You will be happier.
Wait why? I’m curious actually
Do you have some reasoning for that? I only know the public perceptions. DM me if it's too specific to share on blind.
Wow. Congrats
Depends on if you're in product eng or infra. Worked at both, highly prefer Stripe culture for eng. What are your deciding factors? Feel free to DM.
Are you saying Airbnb is better for infra? How so?
No I am not. That would be laughable. I'm saying it depends on what your decision is based on (promo, culture, wlb, etc) and which team you join (a product team or an infra team).
Both are really solid choices and it’s anyone’s guess how the comp will compare in the end. I would choose based on team and your gut feel on this one. Either will be great.
Join Airbnb and enjoy the stock appreciation. Stripe’s vesting policy makes it literally meaningless to join a pre-ipo start up or any company that’s growing

Yoe op? Also why stripe stock is so low? Is that per year?band airbnb's stock is for 4 yrs? I feel airbnb is the way to go as no competitors as of now and pandemic is almost over
YOE is in the post, 5. And yeah stripes new policy is to give the same amount per year for grants. The refresh thing is totally new so not really sure about that
