Makes me wonder: will they reissue the offer based on how much Lyft stock has dropped?

How does the stock work here? Wouldn't these vest over 4 years? Or is this how much stock they get per year?

Per year. The number of shares are listed for each as well. As you can imagine, the dollar amount is changing rapidly with the market crash.

Twitch is so low: https://www.levels.fyi/comp.html?track=Software%20Engineer&s...

Is that because a lot of people want to work at Twitch, and/or because Amazon doesn't pay that well?

So, are the dollar amounts for stock we see on the website the literal amounts users entered at the time of grant or did they enter number of shares that are being translated to $ in real time?

Usually they specify the stock part in dollars, it doesn't turn into a concrete number of shares until after you start.

This is great. Companies share these numbers with each other, good to see more visibility for employees.

It's good information. Leaves me feeling hella bitter though since I'm paid less than half of that FB offer but could theoretically get the same offer. Just wish there was a more straight forward way to getting into these companies that pay so much.

Has anyone had success with mock interviews? (Done by people who actually hire - not random people) I've received endless feedback from recruiters saying it's my technical performance even when I've smashed every problem. (Guessing it's cultural but they can't write that down as I rarely receive a no during a phone interview - just no's during in person)
