Europe offers after negotiation:

Databricks L5 (Amsterdam)
Base: €100k
Bonus: 15%
Stock: ~4k RSUs / $60 preferred price

Confluent L4 (London)
Base: £110k (~€120-125k)
Bonus: None
Stock: ~25k ISOs / $6 strike price, $15 preferred price

Leaning towards Databricks. I think they have more potential. And 30% ruling would be great.
Thoughts?

YOE: 8
TC: €90k (Berlin)

    • No, competition is always welcome! Any company who can help keep the market moving and exciting is good in my book.

      I'm basing it more off the offer details.

      I know a few folks who went to or left db and have interviewed a few from there. I admittedly don't know as many people at confluent, but I've heard better things about their culture than db's.

      I liked Databricks interviewers but Confluent interviewers seemed nicer and less neurotic. No idea if this means anything for company culture.

  • I will tell you that confluent stock will be 200% over $30 by the ipo time. I am not surprise to see a $40.

      Dilution and valuation data says $30 stock means $9B valuation so 2x growth. Can I DM you?
