Sad I turned down Roblox

A little more than a year ago I turned down a Roblox offer for a startup. Now I’m feeling sad 😔.

TC = 180 + stock that certainly did not 20X in valuation this past year alone.

  Doesn't Gamestop pay peanuts?

I turned down roblox as well with 5 dollar options. However, if I hadn't, I may have missed out on an insane year of learning and growth at my current company. I also would not have gotten another offer at a pre ipo company that is poised to give me even higher returns than roblox.

At the end of the day, we can wallow in regret or be on the lookout for the next opportunity.

You didn’t know what would’ve happen. What if tech crashes tomorrow after it went way up? Your msft stock with brown relatively safe.

  Damn that's not really high. Snowflake/Doordash new grads have million dollar TCs?

  I have literally no idea lol, I’m sure there are lots of people who have a higher TC 🤷‍♂️. But this is way more than I thought I’d earn so I’m stoked

I had an Airbnb on-site back in 2018 which I did not go for because I joined Google instead. You trade high risk/reward for security

  On the “bright” side, some DS team got a big cut during the layoff last year so you may have dodged a bullet actually

  Wow yeah definitely dodged a bullet there then. If Covid has taught me anything, it's to be happy with my own lot. Many people became insta-millionaires sure but many more people were out on the street

  Amazon doesn't even have the same check mark as other FAANG though.
