Hi I would like to decide b/w the two offer Coupang Staff vs LinkedIn Senior.

Present:
Company: Atlassian, P40 (SDE - 2)
Comp: ~ 84 L
YOE: 10

Offer 1:
Coupang Staff Software Engg L6 (For Taiwan Engg Team)
Base: 82L
Bonus: 8.2L (10% Not fixed)
Joining Bonus: 15L
Cash Lieu Bonus: 9.25L every quarter for 2 year
Stocks: 1.1 CR (Vesting: 10,10,40,40%)
Total : ~1.5 CR

Offer 2:
LinkedIn Senior Software Engg
Base: 65L
Bonus: 10% (6.5)
RSU: 40L per year

Total: ~1.1 CR

Coupang: I gathers some info about the Coupang that there is not much techninal work and also the couterparts are the Korean so there is a language barrier as well that might leads to more time spent on the every task.

LinkedIn: There I had discussion with the HM, work doesn't seem excited. Also the comp is low.

In case of Coupang in hand salary is very good and the diff in comp is also huge, now If I think about long term horizon say 3-4 years, I am not sure about the Coupang Share that will go double or something in next 5-6 year, so comp is going to remain same. While in case of LinkedIn RSU would be of Microsoft so there are chances of it going double in 5-6 years seeing the past trends. Also the perks are much better in case of LinkedIn. Compensation gap can be covered if MSFT done well.

Things I am looking for

  • Some relavant work.
  • WLB
  • Recognition

Please help me decide on this and share any pointers about these offers and any downside/benefits to Coupang and LinkedIn.

Thanks
