This is a weird offer. Stocks seems incredibly low. But at the and time 15% bonus means the role is for IC3. WTF?

over 4 years...!!

I’d ask for more, but levels.fyi could help you guess what more actually should be

Is the stock 108k per year or over 4 years? If 4 years, you definitely have room for negotiation given you don't have sign on bonus either.

I am not sure about Dropbox, but in general for your yoe, stock does seem low. Also a quick search for Dropbox offers would give you some idea on blind. Here's an example. https://us.teamblind.com/s/JNW5UUHW

Might want to ask for more stocks. Their stock is flat mostly.

How is Dropbox these days as a company? They reached out to me to interview but honestly They don’t seem to be doing much to still be relevant years after their shine as a startup

I’m not sure I understand the offer. Is this an IC2 or IC3 role? There seems to be a mixture of numbers that coincide with both levels.

108k over 4 years sounds like an IC1 offer, or this is not a SWE role. Maybe TPM or QA?
