Easy. Tell them you won’t accept anything less than 300k. Then if they don’t offer you 300k, don’t accept.

Waymo is just nuts, they don’t even try to match your current salary and give you a way low stock options
WTF? I thought Waymo used to pay a ton. Stories of giant bonuses, etc...
I think that was just the OGs who got a one time bonus based on the valuation. I had heard most of them took the money and ran.
Stay at Square?
How do you value their equity? They are private and illiquid.
They value equity based on some internal financial numbers which they won’t disclose. Which is kind of ridiculous. Also the recruiter says that it might rise 5x and above when it goes public, but how do they know about it. Same was the case with Uber recruiter
Why leave?
Bc square keeps losing money?
Waymo has been doing the same at a higher pace 😂
Wow. Waymo did not one but two technical phone screens. Even though I thought both went well I got the “we’ve decided not to proceed any further “ email from the recruiter. Your lowball offer makes me feel a bit better.
They used to pay well when they were part of google. But now with the Alphabet group of companies, their offer is really low. All the original engineers took the chauffeur bonuses and left. eg Nuro founders
Role?
Security engineer
