Please share the offer as well, so we can weigh the risk/reward properly for you. They need to give you a higher offer to offset the risk.

With those numbers, you should probably go for it if you are comfortable with risk. In the worst case scenario, there's no liquidity event, so you move to a company with much worse WLB for little additional pay. If that's a scenario you're willing to accept, then the best case scenario, where there's a liquidity event and no ban, makes you much wealthier.
Are you on visa? If no, go for it. Otherwise I won’t even consider tiktok
No not on a visa. American
Go for it. Great offer and only upside from here

What level is your offer? Is this SDE or PM? How many RSUs is that 200k? 3200 RSUs?
