Full time employment: Posting here.
I’m going to call BS on the stock grant portion of this person’s claims. Facebook IPO’d in 2012. They posted this story in 2020, claiming 10 years of employment. So for the first 2 years they were given pre-ipo options. While his option price would have been set at grant date, I don’t think the company can place a value on them because at that point it’s a wing and a prayer if they ever get to the point of IPO.
The hire-on base salary seems at bit high for 2010, but FB may have been trying to poach from google and others so perhaps offered more. The bonus numbers don’t seem unreasonable in the first few years (I didn’t read the whole thing). I don’t know what they mean by “refresher”. I worked in Silicon Valley my entire career. I regularly saw compensation/stock income for all employees in the company and “refresher” is not a term was ever used by Finance or HR. Anyone familiar with this term?
