Might be able to match. However lookout for couple of things…. First the offer would be heavily backloaded. Second the offer would consist of ZARS which depends on Zoox’s 409 valuation. I would say aim for 700k avg over 6 yrs
Based on future ZARS valuation or current?
Future
Zoox has a ton of work ahead, and the people that will contribute will do well. The difference in culture between Apple and Zoox is large, probably enough to bias the decision towards Zoox DM me if you want a honest, off the record session..
I joined as L5 in Software a couple of months back. Let me know if you need more info
Have the zars gone up in the past year, out of curiosity.
Yeah by 2 dollars. Next evaluation is due in July
Thanks for all the inputs, the interview response is positive and trending towards an offer
Great congrats
Zoox only offers appreciation rights, not ownership or stocks. And it’s a really long cliff - 2 years for initial vestment and six years total. Had a colleague with a similar offer and tC didn’t even reach 300k unless you factor hypothetical stock growth. Smart people though but last I heard the lead software engineer left.
A. You get Amazon stock too, vests over three years B. There is no lead software engineer. Our old vp of software left a while ago. There are still great people here
The idea is that you can participate to the upside, if we fulfill the mission. I find this a good thing. About people leaving, every company in this space has people coming and people leaving. I am not so concerned. This is not a single person endeavor.
My man no one really cares about your mission or vision if you cannot pay them appropriately.
I believe the base is appropriate. If you don't care about the mission or if you don't believe in the upside, of course there are better opportunities.
hey @stevesaapl, any update? what was the offer you got ?
can you share the interview experience for firmware engineer
Doubt zoox can match
