I mean I'm a little concerned that my 2 years of scala is going to tie me to it forever unless I want a huge pay cut back to a junior role

Can anyone tell me what this means "You can purchase X shares of common stock from the company at an exercise price per share with a vesting schedule determined by the Board. " I understand the individual words I think but together I have no idea. For what it's worth, it's a private company. It looks like I should be asking what the price per share is? Anything else?

gonadic io posted:I mean I'm a little concerned that my 2 years of scala is going to tie me to it forever unless I want a huge pay cut back to a junior role i spent the first 8 years of my career doing hardware in languages that hardly exist outside that domain, i've never gone back to a 'junior' role. gray forums poster csammis did a similar distance jump from HLL's to embedded. i can't really speak to the UK market, but there are ways to switch languages/stacks/domains without a complete setback like that. it takes a fair bit of storytelling and/or nepotism, (csammis had github hobby projects, i had a ME brother at the startup where i was first called a firmware engineer) but once you're into the 3~5 year range and a solid midlevel there are general engineering/employee skills outside of one language that should be valued anywhere. your work on bringing arduino to rust environments is proof enough you can work outside of scala, buffing up that story might be enough for certain employers

the usual scam with a private company is that employee stock cannot be sold unless the company is sold or goes public. even if that occurs, often the sale is structured in such a way that the employee stock is not actually sold if they're paying out dividends are they doing it in place of a 401k match?

The HR lady said she got a pretty nice dividend 4 months into working there.

" I understand the individual words I think but together I have no idea. For what it's worth, it's a private company. It looks like I should be asking what the price per share is? Anything else? it means that they give you the option to buy X many shares of stock at a given price, regardless of what the market price is. that X is divided over a period of years, which is the vesting schedule. a fraction of it vests every few months or every year or so. basically they say you can buy stock at regular intervals, if you choose to. and if the stock value is above your option price, you make the difference between the price you pay and the price you can sell it at. now, at a private company all of this is all theoretical because the price of the stock is effectively zero until there is a market in which you can sell your shares. I.e. on IPO or purchase of the company they might actually be worth something.

Java the language is the most mundane language ever, it has none of the features that you currently depend on. It's not even like you get better libraries moving from scala to java, although you do get to escape from all the lovely scala ones. Tell me it's at least java 8.

I've never actually been offered shares before so I have 0 idea what I'm doing. whether you are offered shares or options, if it's not public stock, its actual value is likely somewhere in the vicinity of $0. there are a lot of reasons for this. some innocuous, some less so.

if you don't want to read my giant block of text, just think of this in terms of incentives if your options package was worth more than cash, why would the company give away options? it would just be cheaper for them to give you cash instead. startup options are almost never worth anything at all

If these are genuine real dividends that company pays out to shareholders with corporate assets, then it is a very strong signal that they have no intention of raising more funds. But in that case you shouldn't expect the company to grow, meaning the present value of the options would be nothing.

Jesus, I am currently right this instance interviewing a guy, and he keeps complaining about upper management at his old jobs. Jesus, that guy was awful. How do you politely end an interview call that says "Thanks but no thanks?" FlapYoJacks fucked around with this message at 17:44 on Aug 14, 2017 |
