How do you know the current market value of the start up options?
Recruiter told me. There are some sites where you can check pre-IPO companies current market value.
All startups are saying they are going to go public in a year or two. Pretty sure most will poop their pants when their valuations will get compressed over the next year or two and stay private for longer
Is this for SWE?
Yes
In that case RSU seems way less
Stripe
This is not even a question. Whoever chose google is trolling. Take Palo Alto.
