What exactly is sad about negotiating a high salary (if you can get it) from a multi-billion dollar company?

My understanding is Snap has something like a 10/20/30/40 vesting schedule, so it's a long commitment that comes with a lot of risk relative to working at a company with a 25/25/25/25 schedule, especially if you're comparing it to Google. You should be compensated for that added risk in that case.

Plus, you'll probably be working longer hours at a Snap vs a Google.

In reality? Nothing. People should be fighting to raise the bar for everyone, but instead there's a trend to push people who are doing well down to the lowest common denominator.

Snap is monthly vesting with no cliff.
