I have new grad full time offers for these companies and I've interned at all of them. Stripe was my favorite internship and the TC is roughly the same for all (listed below), but should I go for Facebook since it's public? Especially with the economy in such a difficult shape, would it be a safer bet to go for a larger company? There's no word on Stripe's IPO for any time soon. I am young now, so I bit confused on where I should hedge my bets. I haven't negotiated yet but will do soon. Would love some thoughts. Facebook: 118k base, 50k bonus, 150k rsu Stripe: 125k base, 50k bonus, 150k rsu Cruise: 120k base, 50k bonus, 110k rsu Pinterest: 115k base, 50k bonus, 115k rsu #tech #career #offer #stripe #facebook #pinterest #cruise
RSU’s are for 4 years or for a year?
lol, it is new a grad offer would you seriously expect 600k rsu for new grad? 😂😂
recently I read a post about a new grad offer with 100k stocks per year in Stripe. You never know 😜
Ur right smaller companies definitely sound more sus now. But seems like stripe is relatively immune? Ive only heard good things about stripe so stripe or fb cant go wrong.
Stripe has been preparing for a recession for years. I worked there a few years back, and they were stress testing and preparing for a future downturn (as they always come sooner or later).
Looks like it's pretty neck and neck between Stripe and FB -anyone mind posting their reasons for choosing one or the other?
I'd go with FB - more scale , more opportunities to move around internally , both help someone new to the industry to learn; imo stripe can be the next Airbnb with a misstep in these difficult times.
Biased opinion here. AirBnB’s and Stripe’s business models are completely different. We’re in a great position. Apples and oranges. Did you see the recent news about our last raise, etc.? Also, you’ll have more mobility at a smaller company in my experience.
Bonus is sign on?
yes
May be able to negotiate signing to 75k but otherwise ur fb offer is likely stuck
Defs Facebook - the market is bad and Facebook has the best refreshers in the industry.
Why is stripe giving you only 150k rsu for nonpublic stock? Should be 300k rsu at least
Not saying you're wrong, but I'm curious why you think so? Public equity has risk too, and if VC firms are willing to invest a billion dollars I feel like it should be a good long term investment right? Or am I just desperately trying to justify my decision hahaha
Stripe is virtually public at this point. But still has more upside than FB
Location might also be a factor for you - SF vs Menlo Park (assuming FB is there). If you'd rather live in the city, Stripe would be a much shorter commute
This shouldn’t be a consideration. You can work in SF office if there is a team with headcount there.
Fair point
Masters or bachelors, OP?
Not Cruise
Glad I passed on Cruise. Stripe was my 2nd choice. But FB seemed more stable given this recession
make a poll maybe?
Done!
