Switching companies: Apple to Snapchat

Is it crazy? Snap seems unstable but higher risk higher reward early on in life seems to be the way to go Did anybody do this and care to share their experience? Background: TC will increase significantly and moving from Bay Area to LA is a huge plus. Downsides: I will be forfeiting >$150k unvested RSU and I love my team and work at Apple but the Snap team seems equally exciting. #aapl #apple #snap #snapchat

Take into consideration snaps rsu volatility, may go up may go down a lot

And the impending recession

It's "impending" for many years now.

You’re crazy. Should have rested and vested at Apple

Apple zorrro OP Aug 16, 2019

Still a future decision :)

I think you’re nuts. Why not move to the Apple office in LA?

Apple zorrro OP Aug 16, 2019

Apple’s office in LA(other than beats) is small and would need to switch teams

Apple zorrro OP Aug 16, 2019

Do you know anyone from the LA office?

Make snap buy out your unvested Apple shares

Apple zorrro OP Aug 16, 2019

How do you mean?

Airbnb Jonny555 Aug 16, 2019

Tell snap you have $150k in unvested shares and they need to buy you out of those for half or issue you $150k in Snap stock. Facebook buys people out regularly as a signing bonus.

I can see wanna be "cool" Indian teens using Snap. There's a growth. Look at Facebook as a website, it's existence is because of India lol.

Amazon iSteveJobs Aug 16, 2019

Not correct. The earnings per user is high in western countries compared to India. India has users but not revenue.

Stay put, crash is coming. Snap may not survive.
