Got an offer from Stripe for a L3 SWE. Would appreciate thoughts from other Stripes. Trying to decide if it’s worth moving from Meta.

Meta IC5: $370k/yr (after drop)
Stripe L3: $50k signon + $430k/yr ($230k base+bonus and $200k yearly RSUs)

YOE: 9

Any thoughts on if it’s worth moving? I used to hear lots of good things about Stripe but also heard some bad things recently about WLB, bureaucracy, etc.

Is the company fairly valued? Not sure if I should trust the RSU price.

Also how hard is it to get promo to staff L4?

Thanks

    Had an offer from stipe, but 95 billion valuation is huge. Declined because teams were large (wanted something smaller with bigger impact) and equity growth was minimal.

  • How exactly are the RSUs valued? Is it based off of fundraising X years ago?

    I wish people just put their YOE without being asked.

    I think if you are ok with the Meta life, you should be ok at Stripe. But the learning curve is very steep and the WLB is completely out of sync.

      Thanks for the info. Do you mind sharing your team / org? Is it the same for all teams? I heard the storage team was particularly bad but was hoping others were ok

      don't want to reveal my team, but I am not in storage (they have rougher than me). But honestly it is the entire company. You don't have to look too far than seeing our pulse score as WLB goes down.
