Recently completed interviews from Argo AI and things seemed to have gone well (Tech role), might expect an offer soon. I was contemplating if I should even pursue this, as I have almost finalized on joining NVIDIA. The salary at Argo looks great, but the stock offering is quite sketchy. They claim to reach a valuation of $20b shortly, but their market cap could be much lesser. Argo did have an initial funding of $3b, and some smaller pushes from walmart and others. But is there anyway they could really reach $20b before going IPO? Even if Argo offers me >100k/yr of stocks at $20b, how much would they be really worth after IPO? NVIDIA TC - 230k Yoe - 7 Will it will be a good non-bay area salary to match NVIDIA? #nvidia #argoai #cruise #tech #google #faang
I would stay at Nvidia unless you feel like there’s no upward trajectory for you there. Paper options are $0 until a liquidity event. I never count them in my TC.
True..that is my biggest question. How much of paper money would translate to real money!
Hey bd@EC - you think Cruise will IPO or GM will buy them out? Where do you get the 2 - 3 year timeline. I am considering an offer there too.
Cruise may IPO in 2-3 years.
Argo’s current valuation is already $12.4 B … so discount your equity portion of the offer by -40%. Good chance you will still come out ahead of the Nvidia offer. So take it. Also, negotiate a nice sign-on bonus too.
Even Argo stocks worth nothing, you still get about the same comp as Nvidia. Just from compensation side, no reason not to pick Argo
