Have 2 offers on the board that I am trying to decide between currently and would appreciate some opinions.

Spotify:
REMOTE
160k base, 85k equity/vested over 4 years
No year end bonus, no signing bonus
TC ~180k

StubHub:
NEW YORK
125k base, 500k equity/vested over 4 years
20k signing bonus, 10% year end bonus
TC ~270k

I am heavily leaning towards Spotify right now due to it being remote and because StubHub is not public so worried about the rsus decreasing in value. Thoughts?

Must be niiccee! I'm tryna be like you, ma boi! For real though, both are great offers for 1 YOE. Remote is definitely most appealing.

likefunny

i usually count rsu from private companies as 0. Its just paper money. So your real Stubhub tc is 138k

likehelpfulsmart

Exactly! It’s IFcome, not income.

I worked for a company that was acquired by a PE firm. When this occurred, all employees were forced to sell their shares.

Directors and c-level executives immediately received new shares, but employees didn’t receive RSUs until after the company went public. I estimated this tactic cost me well over 6 figures.

Watch both of their Financials.. Spotify just went through their layoffs. There may be a second wave.

Spotify is great option to choose.
If company isn't public their equity is just air.
I have a friend who received big equity and much of it got vested. after he left the company, that company got merged with another one and since it was just paper money, they denied to updated his holding.

Thoughts on offer? Should I counter?

Additionally there's a yearly target RSU bonus about equal to the cash bonus. Thoughts? 4.5 YOE
