>Imagine walking into a technical interview 20+ years out of grad school. So just like when changing jobs?

  I could have worded it better.. I should probably have said: "Imagine walking into a surprise technical interview 20+ years out of grad school."

  Yeah plus a few millions in the bank because of the acquisition.
  • hmcq6 3y ago
    Maybe for the c-suite
    • henry2023 3y ago
      c-suite would be +20 million each, any early employee should have enough options to get a two to five million after a nice acquisition

        Not with liquidation preference.
      • bushbaba 3y ago
        That’s unrealistic in many cases
  • drewg123 3y ago
    Hah, I wish.

  Well, except that they just exterminated your former employer and all your stock options and compensation bonuses are tied to passing that gauntlet? It's more like getting a layoff and then offered an interview for a new job. For me, we didn't have to do the interview. But there were a lot of other strings attached, most drastic being having to move cities (or have a 2-hour-each-way commute). The money makes it worthwhile, but it's not a happy happy joy joy moment. I also got a peavish Google recruiter all pissed at me about the fact that we were sharing notes with each other about the offers they were sending us, which I thought was pretty funny.
