I accepted a 220k TC SDE offer from Snap last Friday, and I am currently visiting families in Australia. Is it worth the hassle to fly to Cali and interview with Uber again just for the “what if”?
Ask them to delay the interview till u are back.
Tell Uber to walk you through the expected offer to make sure it is worth your time before wasting your time. You have a strong negotiating position. Also Uber is not obviously better than Snap.
I don't think it's worth flying back to Cali given that you've already accepted the snap offer... and also Uber
Depends on how interested you are in Uber. The pay won't necessarily be better but in my opinion it's a cooler product and more opportunity for growth but at the end of the day if you're not psyched about Uber then probably not worth the hassle
Of course yes!
Uber is a more practical and useful product, which is important for many engineers. On the other hand, Snap serves a real need to enable millenials to share pictures of their junk with strangers. Plus it's public, so your stock is actually worth something, for now. Tough call.
At Uber, depending on which team you go to, you can have a real-world impact. The impact comes from when the self driving car runs into a pedestrian.
What's your experience
Depends on what you want and if you care to believe in the product. Do you want to work somewhere that makes money by selling users' data or somewhere that enables millions of people to move around their cities like they never could before, and enables millions of drivers to make money when they want to, allowing them to care for their families or do whatever else they need to do, and be entrepreneurs?
Last time I checked, there was no Uber office in Cali, Colombia.
