sharing what i saw. offer for a mid-senior backend role (they didn't do formal levels publicly but this was "L5 equivalent" per recruiter conversation): base: $195k equity: 0.08% (four-year vest, one-year cliff, early-stage-style grant, not RSU) no annual bonus as far as i can tell, not mentioned at all benefits were solid: health/dental/vision, generous home office budget, async-first so no location requirement
they don't negotiate much, from what i heard from a few people who tried. the number they gave me was pretty much the number. equity is harder to value obviously given they're still private, but the grant felt real relative to stage.
total comp at face value: call it $195k + option lottery ticket. not FAANG money but not startup risk money either. Linear is a weird middle: profitable, slow-growing headcount, not racing to IPO.
