#stripe vs meta
fresh isle
got both offers, which is better
TC slightly higher for stripe, considering Meta because of faster promo

meta 100% imo
stripe rsu is yearly and is just paper money 💀
@fresh isle plus name value of meta is and has been very good for a while
fresh isle
good point, but i was wondering if meta name value will tank slightly with the spike in hiring
also the meta rsu is set up so that the stock price over 4 years is based on the price of meta stock at your start date, and i feel like meta stock likely won't go a ton higher than it is rn
i could be wrong ofc
plus stripe ipo potential

Has meta name ever tanked when they hired more ppl in the past and grew lol
I think the consistent high hiring bar helps keep it's name value
as for meta rsu I'd take 4 yrs any time since 1 yr is not enough to appreciate before they give rsus again and decide to low ball
meta peg still pretty low for a tech company at around 1.7
it's not rlly overvalued due to high potential to grow
meanwhile after stripe goes public u never know how the market will react to its balance sheet
if u want we can continue this in dms @fresh isle

@fresh isle can i dm?
wanton yarrow
I’m in the same dilemma
ad and I think meta (that's what I'm taking for sure)
1 yr rsu is lowballing
Some ppl think stripe interviews are hard amd therefore have higher bar but they've been hella leaked and do not differ too much, making bar Lower
whereas meta has larger interview question bank even if it's tagged, making bar higher
stripe is paper money
meta has stronger monetization via ads whereas stripe is low profit margins unless they go into lending
stripe struggling to transition as a company from what my friends say; they also do sketch things in recruiting like overfilling positions/pipelines and ghosting for yrs

@onyx gulch @wanton yarrow can i dm

Yeah

stripe is paper money
Is it still considered paper if stripe will cash u out on it?
wanton yarrow
Stripe gives rsu yearly right?
yes so stripe re-evaluates the stock they give you every year and if the stock goes up that year they effectively give you less than if they gave you 4 yr rsu
hence low balling cuz it doesn't get to grow as much
wanton yarrow
Is it still considered paper if stripe will cash u out on it?
yeah its paper due to less liquidity and copium valuation. i hear their buy backs are hella sketchy
terrible liquidity compared to public even with buy backs
valuation is based on hopeless optimism and copium from the company and VCs due to not needing to publish or process specific financial balance sheets
