(Urgent) FB GE vs Stripe for New Grad
Have 2 offers, FB GE return offer and a Stripe offer, as FB isn’t extending my deadline I have to decide by today. FB (NYC) Base: 124k RSU: 220/4 Signing: 75k Stripe (Seattle) Base: 134 RSU: 78k first year grant (they do annual vesting now so it removes most of the upside). Signing: 40k first year 20k second year I prefer NYC over Seattle and I liked my time at FB but confused on what offer would be best for my career.
Go to NYC. Ask Stripe for a NYC offer, otherwise FB. Better dating scene, more fun places to eat and drink at, more live events. Come to Seattle only if you love the outdoors - hiking , backpacking, camping, skiing , etc
FB unless you like stripe
Nice helpful comment!
I heard there's good opportunity for growth too
What is GE?
Does stripe have annual cash bonus on top of rsu?
Yes they do, 10% target bonus but that’s for both companies, Stripe also has refresherss
Is that offer a stripe return intern offer as well?
No it isn’t
You can’t go wrong here, pick whichever is more interesting to you. Congrats on starting your career with these two great options in front of you.
From a purely numbers perspective: FB TC for first 2 years: 124*2+110+75 = 433k Stripe TC for first 2 years: 134*2+78*2+40+20 = 484k Plus you'll save a tonne on taxes/housing in Seattle. A friend in this exact situation reneged FB for Stripe 2 years ago. Safe to say it really worked out for him. But you can't go wrong with either and it is a lot of money either way. Hit up NY if that is more your scene although I'm sure Stripe will let you switch to NY.
FB removed negotiation for interns this year
Was it difficult to get GE? How far above and beyond do you have to go?
got GE too, i finished my intern project plan in ~5 weeks, finished 3 extra stretch goals, and then self designed and executed another prject that moved a team-level metric.
You should add a poll!
Added thanks
