Hi,
I'm currently having an offer from BlueOptima and Cohesity and am conflicted between the two.
I have offers in the SDET profile.
Cohesity Inc is providing me MTS and @BlueOptima is providing SDET-1.
Glassdoor reviews more of less place the two companies almost equally, and the package being offered by the two is almost in the same range.
My preferences include:
Learning opportunities in the role.
Company's work environment.
Company's growth prospects, are also a consideration.
YOE: 2 years

AWS cloud application architect. Had an on-site interview with AWS a few days ago and just got an email saying they want to talk to me about next steps. The role is cloud application architect but I want to ask them about the senior cloud application architect role. I have all the relevant experience for that role and feel like I’d be a better fit for that senior role. How should I approach this conversation? Is this even possible? Amazon
This shouldn’t be news to people but it is.

Thanks for making this page!!

My experience with equity is that if a company uses it for total comp, it’s effectively candy for them. So don’t sell yourself short. When I asked for a larger total comp package, they couldn’t meet my base salary demands and subsequently offered 4x my original equity offer. Their second offer was higher than the total comp I asked for. I didn’t have much leverage, but I pointed out that I am not one to jump around given my employment history.
I did have an atty look and was about to successfully turn down the equity offer (it was actually good but I’m not financially able to pay taxes on it next year - also buying a home) and keep it open as an option for next year and also nego a better bonus instead.
It depends on if you are talking about a new job or one that you have been at. If you are taking about an existing job and you are looking to increase comp, including equity, you have a track record. You need to do a little work and figure out what revenue you generated.
If it's a new job there will be a question of what will you bring to the table in terms of profit. One thing to leverage is that equity implies you want to have a long term commitment.

Whoever offers you equity is only appealing to your greed. Real equity is reserved for capital partners. You’re being played....
Not sure how you know so much about me and my current situation to determine that I’m being played...so thanks for the help?
And this is why this bowl really does suck.
Equity is equity...
