Compensation. I know an engineer with 3 year experience who was offered 150K salary + 600K of stock grant over 4 years. Management get paid a lot more, obviously.


Is this a recent offer or an old offer with current valuation of their stock? The latter seems reasonably if the stock offer had a five-figure valuation but a recent offer of 600k in stock seems ludicrous. Are public tech companies really offering that much in compensation these days?


Keep in mind that "stock" is likely in the form of options which, with the stock price below IPO, are likely worth nothing at this point.
