I am waiting to receive final numbers from Waymo/for L5/Senior SWE. I was told my base will be matched but stock is Waymo (!!?) stock not Google?

How does Waymo's SWE L5 compare to Google/FB? Is it same? I am E5 at FB, 8 yrs experience.

    There is a related thread on “Waymo Offer”. It says TC consists of RSUs and options (other than base and cash bonus). I don’t fully understand the details of TC breakup in that thread though.

    Copy pasting the TC part of that post for reference:
    Details

    L5 IC, Hardware
    Base 186k
    RSU 6.2k over 4yr @$11
    Options 17.1k over 4yr @$11
    Sign on bonus 40k

    TC first year
    ~ 226k (liquid)
    stock: ?? who knows how much this is worth ?

      Have you got the final numbers yet? If you don’t mind, just post the TC breakup when you have all the details.

    • @apple for stock options of 17.1k, does it mean you'll have to pay $11 per share to buy them, or waymo would just give it for free?

      The Tc still is too low for L5?

      it's only 186 + 60k per year where 60k is shares (rsu +options per yr)?

  • Yes. And I think it’s options. And if you quit before it goes public, way no has the right to recycle your vested options at a very low price

    It’s an internal Waymo Stock! The vesting period varies from Google. If you leave after some of it is vested, they will buy that back at an internal valuation rate if the stock is not public.

      OP
      Want a change from FB. I see autonomous transportation as the next big thing that will have enormous growth for the next 10 years.

      Social media is peaking and FB / Google will enter a catch up game and growth would be limited .I don't see FB stock doubling in next 10 years, but I can see Waymo grow 5x in next 10 years.

      Alphabet will grow due to their bets (Waymo).
