A little under two years ago I got offers from both Facebook and Google. The Google offer was a lot bigger (including in stock, the break even point was a valuation of 50 bln), but I accepted the Facebook offer instead, because I knew I'd only get to work on the kind of infrastructure projects I wanted to work on at Facebook. Bootcamp beats the hell out of preallocation for things like this.

- pja 14y agoThe break even point for buying the stock options was a $50bn valuation. Current Google market cap is $225bn. That's a big upside. The market cap of FB is irrelevant to the valuation of Google stock options.
