I recently accepted a role with a Tech company based in San Francisco. Tbh, not 100% excited or happy with the offered role. Comp is fair but the Pre-IPO RSU’s is the attractive part.

I did not have a lot of time between the offer and time to accept it. So, I accepted it. I am interviewing with other firms currently to see if I can get a better offer & role in next couple of weeks.

Current TC: $138k base + 15 ~ 18% bonus
SF offer: $185k (fixed - base + signon) + reloc + $40k RSU/year

Current location is NJ. The RSU’s have so much upside, If they IPO this year, I am hoping the upside is atleast 2x ~ 3x. If I stay in current firm until August, I will get $30k ~ $40k in bonus.

The role offered in comparison to my current role is a level below. Two levels if I get promoted to manager in my current firm (which am expecting at the moment). I don’t want to chase titles but at the same time not happy about going back in my career instead of moving forward.

Any thoughts if this is worth the move?

Always follow the $$$, the titles will come based on continued performance but the jump in salary is few and far between

Is it instacart? 😂

Does it matter? But no, its not instacart. Yes for first year it vests after an year and then quarterly.

Cost of living is so much higher in the Bay Area that this looks like a lateral to me, even if the RSUs are attractive.

Why aren't you happy with it? It may not be worth it if the role isn't sufficiently aligned with your career goals.

Objectively, the RSUs should be good financially if we assume a successful IPO, continued growth, fast vesting, no unforseen issues (scandal, recession), and no lock-up period, but there is more to life and career than money.

Several reasons, Moving to bay area where costs are through the roof, will be far away from family. But ok to make these sacrifices if the role is good and it it opens up more doors. I only spoke to the team through the interviews, so I can’t really tell if the team & the opportunity is good enough until I actually start working. No one can honestly. So, tbh Money is the only attractive part at this moment. The team and role might workout but it’s a little bit of gamble.

I am ok to stay with my current firm through end of the year, but I eventually move to industry from Consulting by end of this year or early next year.

What is your actual base? It looks like you combined base and sign-on, which I would ignore.

Your $40K RSU per year seems pretty low.

PARTNERS: two questions —1. If you see an associate has really low hours for the month, do you imagine them chillen on a beach somewhere or do you consider they probably spent most of their days sitting in front of the computer being “available”? 2. If you send an associate a random e-mail on a weekend like “Can you pull X and send to Y”, would you get annoyed if they responded saying they weren’t by a comp or would you consider it reasonable that they wouldn’t be by a comp on a weekend?

Hi fishes, what's the fixed range for B30 Engineer 2?

Friend of mine was supposed to receive an offer (told verbally) from Deloitte and then just found out they are pausing on hiring the role. How common is that? Seems wildly unprofessional that none of the partners called and instead it was the recruiter conveying that news. At McKinsey, if that happened, the head of the practice or the office would personally make the phone call at the very least.
