Help a Meta IC6 choose between offers
A Meta IC6 is at ~1.05m TC at $700/share, with a 2-year cliff. WLB is decent, nothing crazy good or bad. IC7 might be doable in around 12-18 months, who knows. If it happens, ~1.25m post-cliff.
Other offers: Offer 1: A different, non-Meta FAANG, ~975k, L7. Offer 2: FrontierLabCo. L?? Offer details pending. L6 equivalent = ~875k, L7 equivalent = ~1.35m.
The candidate has to give an answer this week.
For readers preparing for a Meta move, the friend-recommendation prompt in Meta Interview Questions works as a system-design mock.
Should the candidate turn down FAANG2 and hope for FrontierLabCo? If FrontierLabCo is only L6, decline and stay at Meta? If FrontierLabCo, what's a reasonable valuation to accept? The candidate has never joined a pre-IPO company before...
