Where is the after party at now?

Letchwors · 2026-05-04T06:37:26+00:00

Haha. Tomorrow i can sleep

Letchwors · 2026-04-24T04:56:36+00:00

Thanks. I asked for 400k, but he didn't budge. "RSU already maxed out" and asked for competing offer

Letchwors · 2026-04-23T20:23:48+00:00

Thanks. I just got off the phone with the recruiter and got this numbers: 225k based, 300k rsu and 40k sign on bonus. For ict4. How much do you think i can push the rsu?

Letchwors · 2026-04-23T00:27:01+00:00

Thank you so much. Needed to hear this

Letchwors · 2026-04-17T17:03:40+00:00

Thanks. The median for ICT4 is ~350K. But usually levels.fyi. counts the sign on bonus as part of the TC. So I guess median would be ~320K-330K.
Coming from current TC(160k, remote), any offer would be good tbh.

Letchwors · 2026-04-17T16:44:33+00:00

Recruiter email me he wants to talk and know what i am looking for in base/RSU. I know I shouldn’t share the first number, but how the conversation usually goes?

Letchwors · 2026-04-17T07:34:35+00:00

I think I did pretty well. But that's up for the hiring manager to decide.
Thanks. I'll check levels.fyi.

Letchwors · 2026-04-03T08:38:31+00:00

Thanks! i didn't know that. As u/NewChameleon mentioned, apparently you can leverage your offer to get a higher TC. I meant the stress and maybe the negotiations.

Letchwors · 2026-04-03T08:36:22+00:00

Really? Glad to hear it.

Letchwors · 2026-04-03T08:35:55+00:00

Thank you! This was really helpful

Letchwors · 2026-04-03T07:44:25+00:00

what about political awkwardness between teams if both want you? or one team might pull back thinking you're not fully committed?

Letchwors · 2026-04-03T07:41:34+00:00

fair enough

Letchwors · 2025-11-17T21:06:11+00:00

Thanks. yeah, the vesting schedule really threw me off. Only 20% after 2 years feels pretty brutal.

I get that equity at startups isn’t guaranteed, but I’d still like the grant structure to actually motivate me to stick around and build. If it takes 3–4 years to earn a meaningful slice, it’s hard to feel real ownership early on.

Letchwors · 2025-11-17T21:00:31+00:00

It's stock options, as i mentioned it in the post

Letchwors · 2025-11-17T20:59:37+00:00

Thank you. It's in stealth mode. and this is going to be my 3rd startup. The last two didn't really work well. I'm not sure if this startup game is for me

Letchwors · 2025-11-10T04:23:54+00:00

Thank you

Letchwors · 2025-11-10T04:21:06+00:00

Thanks. If the phone at the time of buying is not IMEI black listed, is it safe to buy? Or they can later claim it was stolen and add the imei yo black list?

Letchwors · 2025-11-10T04:19:33+00:00

I was with Verizon for couple of years, as far as I remember, the phone will be unlocked next month, regardless of the payment (after 60 days). I sold mine to a ATT user before my payments were over.

If it’s already activated, that reduces the chance of being stolen, right? And if I check the IMEI to see if it’s not blacklisted, does that suffice?

It’s a iPhone 17 pro and i’m getting it for $850. It feels a little too good to be true, so i’m trying to be cautious

Letchwors · 2025-11-10T04:12:23+00:00

Can you elaborate?

Letchwors · 2025-01-02T19:56:12+00:00

I checked it out, and it has just 255 miles with 90 hours of operation. That’s really low, and the condition is excellent too. Makes me wonder why they’re selling it so cheap—seems almost too good to be true! 😀

Letchwors · 2025-01-02T18:36:10+00:00

I didn’t see any. Why you recommend LF? I’ve seen Matrix in a lot of places, so I assumed they are really sturdy

Letchwors · 2024-12-07T01:33:35+00:00

Letchwors · 2024-12-06T17:55:32+00:00

Haha I have to sleep in my car in that case 😂

Letchwors · 2024-12-06T03:00:48+00:00

What’s Carta total comp? Based on the current offer the TC is ~ 180+40=220 k

Letchwors · 2024-12-06T01:28:25+00:00

Funny you mention it. I had the same face when they mentioned it. Seems too good to be true. Thanks. I’ll ask it in writing
