From few sources I have heard that Roblox matches or even exceeds Google/FB TC for Sr. Level Engineers and PMs. Roblox has very high base salary and very good equity component, they are pre-IPO. Has anyone heard about Roblox or worked there?

    I talked to a recruiter there. He told me his job was literally to recruit teenage millionaires. They only have user generated content, so all devs are paid by in app purchases of mini games.

    The TC(60-80 percentiles range) at FB/GOOG == Base salary at Roblox
    Additionally, they provide RSUs which periodically company may buyback giving you liquidity.

    I'd like to know, have a referral there. I assumed the pay was normal, not high-end.
    How do you value the RSUs / options? If they says it's $100k / year how much do you value the paper money?

      I know former ppl who worked there ( incl VP eng ), I think pay is normal base but high illiquid stock. Maybe someone else can comment

      But context, theyโ€™re making like Fortnite money over there.

    Well they just raised a ton of money and it seems like theyโ€™re flexible on cash comp to buy out invested RSUs for the right talent.
