Or, if you look at it more cynically, if the average stock grant for each new employee was $750k worth of options, then that leaves a pot of about $13.25bn for the rest.
Given dilution, and grants etc, i'm gonna guess that 2000 employees will get 750k (a new house) and 500 (the first 500) will get an average of $26.25m apiece.
Though, i'm sure it's more logarithmic than that...
- Timothee 16y agoI would really like to know… do you think your figures are realistic? (let's say compared to what other employees of successful companies may have made in the past, for which I have no info. e.g. Google, eBay, etc.) Warning: the following will make me look jealous and bitter, but so be it: That the early employees get a giant pay-day is deserved, but the later you join, the less influential in the overall success you are, in addition to the fact that you're not taking any risks, like you would in an early startup. It seems that joining Facebook a year ago as a developer wouldn't be much different than joining Google or Microsoft in terms of benefits, salary, perks, responsibilities… I guess I can only blame myself for not working at the right companies, or not making myself marketable enough to be hired at these companies, but I've never had a job that ended up with a bonus in the $500k-$1M range.
