Received few offers from Fb, Pinterest, Cruise and Uber for L5/E5 level. I have narrowed down to Fb and Pinterest based on team match and overall compensation. However not able decide which one to finalize. Fb - 410k Pinterest - 500k Base is same but Pins is more stock heavy with no annual cash bonus. Pinterest is down 20% today after earnings and this seems like a good opportunity to join and grow with the company. Also team is very good match for my skill set. Would it be a bad decision to reject Fb? Anything I am overlooking? 6yoe.
Unless the comp diff is bigger than 100k, go to fb.
It's posted above. Difference is close to 80k.
I know. This is why I voted fb. How many yoe? Play the long game. Don't look at comp only. FB is a place where you will learn much more. After FB you can go anywhere and your market value will be much higher.
Seriously need a breakdown of each offer, especially Pinterest stock is destined to face Snapchat stock history
Facebook is a horror movie. Some like it, others find forced. They are hiring a lot in near past with questionable hiring bar.
Free food all day everyday, I’d go with FB
It's same with Pinterest :) and that's not important for me. Food is best at LinkedIn.
fb food > linkedin food. dunno what you talking about
Fuck it, go to Linode. Just kidding. Jokes.
I've never heard of anyone at Pinterest hating their job, having issues with political pips, or killing themselves at work... I'd take Pinterest for 90k more per year since your not afraid of moving around in a year or two. Also don't forget FBs offer is good for a year, so I'd you don't like Pinterest after a few months do FB instead.
Google is launching a Pinterest competitor in Google search, I noticed it the other day. It seems like Google might be doing the same thing to Pinterest it did to yelp and lots of other companies.
Why would a company going down 20% make you more likely to buy that stock? Unless you have legitimate reasons to think Pinterest is undervalued for the long term and will grow more?
Their maus are superb and they are expanding international. They have lot of untapped potential.
Low stock price means you get more stock units for your joining grant. Pinterest gives value based offer and the price used is last 60 day average.
What was your Uber offer? Why not take Uber, their stocks are very low, eventually over a period of time Uber stocks will come up then you’ll benefit, don’t make decisions based on the news about Uber. Been here 2 years, came from FB and completely loving it. FB will always be there, and you can always go back - and moving from LinkedIn to FB doesn’t make much sense as you still will be working in similar field instead of professional network you’ll work in social network.
There is a reason pinterest is down 20 percent. Shit companies that don’t make much money wont last long dude. Take Facebook.
It's definitely not a shit company. They are young and growing. Facebook was down as well right after ipo. In that regards Twitter was shit as well till they bounced back?
Sounds like you are defensive for Pinterest. Choose the “bigger” number now, but dont come back crying a year later with entire stocks halved
