I have two offers I'm trying to choose between right now and both are exciting for different reasons, so just wanting to get the opinion of you folks. Both of these offers are before negotiations, so not sure yet how high I can make them go Dremio is offering me L5: Base: 230k Bonus: 15% Stock Options: 35,000 options No signing bonus Qualtrics is offering me Staff SWE: Base: 203k Bonus: 10-30% Performance based and 5-10% company bonus RSUs: $675k spread over 4 years Since Dremio is a startup, the risk is that the options are worth nothing and my TC would just be base+bonus=~265k, but the amount of scope I would have is... A lot and I would learn a while bunch and those options could end up being worth a pretty penny, but they also could be worth nothing. Qualtrics is public, so assuming the stock price is stable, then my TC would be ~410k. There would still be a decent amount of scope and I would also learn a lot here, they would just be different learnings than at Dremio. I just finished up my Meta interview yesterday, but to be honest, I only did that interview to see if I could get an offer and use it for negotiating power. I have a Google interview scheduled for early January and I'm trying to decide if I think doing that interview is worth it, like would I actually take the job if it was offered. I also have an offer call with Amperity this week, so I'll potentially have more numbers to add to my spreadsheet. So, dear strangers in the internet, what do you think? Current TC: 250K YOE: 10 Role: SWE
Give google and then decide. Can I dm?
Sure
Negotiate your base up with Qualtrics using the other offer you have and go with them. With startups you never know what will happen, you might end up working years just for your base salary.
I would second this. Go with qualtrics. Maybe wait for google interview and see how it goes
What's the strike price and preferred price at dremio? Valuation is just over $1B so there is room for growth. Commercial open source companies have IPOed recently - Confluent, Gitlab, Hashicorp Databricks should IPO soon as well.
Strike price is 3.29. I don't know the preferred price
Ask the preferred price. That's important. Your equity value is (preferred - strike) *35000. If this company grows 2-3x of current valuation over the next 4 yrs you can get a sense of what the stock options are worth.
I’ve really enjoyed working at Qualtrics the last 4 years if that’s any add. It’s been a great place!
Did you go Dremio?
