That’s a great offer!

Abbvie just offered me after negotiating for an AD… $190k base, $50k sign-on, 20% bonus, 38K RSUs (3 year vestment), quarterly equity awards.

Congrats on the Abbvie offer. What function/role is that? Looks like nice offer.

As an Moderna employee, I can tell this is good :)

Can you elaborate more on your background? Years of experience etc? The offer sounds great, but if you are seeing better offers based on YOE then you may want to go back with a counter. Moderna is a forward looking company in my opinion with exciting developments to come.
