I have offer from Tiktok and FB. Comp is same. However Tiktok equity is illiquid. Tiktok title and job scope is bigger. How is the talent and culture at Tiktok. Which one I should go for?

    TikTok is a teenager in tech years. Unpredictable, but slightly proven. It’s risky. It’s still private company. The average time to IPO is 10 years. TikTok is 3. Can you wait another 7 years before seeing a single dime in RSUs? Will you be around the company that long? Will IT be around that long?

    The obvious choice to me is FB, even with reduced TC, reduced scope, etc. Technically it will have higher TC for ~ 7 years.

      But the point remains that the RSUs are not worth face value until an IPO happens. ByteDance has not IPO’d. So your TC is everything minus the RSUs. A lot can happen between now and when (if) a company IPOs

    • I agree and that’s always the gamble with joining any private company. But I feel the company is fairly undervalued so it is worth the gamble. Based on news reports ByteDance revenue is around 1/3 of FB with 1/6 the market cap and almost none of that revenue comes from tiktok.
