Saying employees got screwed without knowing deal details is a bit preposterous. Weebly pays engineers pretty well compared with bigco salary, has a cash yearly bonus, sabbatical program, etc. The only difference is stock comp.

What bigco are you going to work for in SF that gives those rsu grants? Salesforce, LinkedIn, and...? I wouldn't be willing to waste my life riding up and down the peninsula for that rsu grant.

and Dropbox, and Google (they have an SF office), and FB (opening SF office). Yes that's why you would just move to SF then. If you are in the Peninsula already then go work for FB, Google, LinkedIn, et al.*

*If maximizing for total comp

My question was for people already living in SF who don't want to ride down the peninsula. The choices are limited for bigco rsu grants.

Google doesn't have engineers working full time in the SF office. They highly discourage it. The SF based engineers have a stigma that they're lesser than the MTV counterparts.

FB doesn't have an SF office. Dropbox wasn't liquid until this year. To say people wasted time or got screwed 4 years ago by not going to work for bigco isn't fair.
