I got offers for both companies. Here are the numbers:
6 yoe
Uber:
175k base
11k RSUs (it depends who you ask but many funds value them between 40 and 60 per unit) new hire grant
50k sign on
Apple:
165k base
100k in RSUs new hire grant
30k sign up bonus
There is no doubt that Uber had changed the way we commute and it still have room to grow. On the other hand who knows when I will be able to cash out those RSUs.
Apple on the other hand is a solid company is not going away anytime soon. And I love their products.
Both teams create the same level of excitement in me.
Is it fair just to compare the numbers?
What intuition do you all use to take a decision like this?
Edit:
Adding more data.
Both are general (not very specialized) positions. Both are in senior web dev role.
The location is in the Bay area.

(But also if you really don’t care whether you work at Uber or Apple do us a favor, leave us alone and work at Uber.)
And, I am no bro.
