Got 2 offers, Uber senior 2: TC 400k per year assume $40 per share Rsu Google l4: TC 330k per year I knew level wise Uber senior 2 is much better than google l4 which is not negotiable But google is much closer for commute, better team gcp, better benefit, culture and prestige. Wondering am I too weird if I refer google over Uber?
How many years of experience?
I would take Uber. Always take the higher level
L4 getting a L5b at Uber? Lololololo
For those advising to take a job because of a higher level ranking/title... how important is a title outside of said organization? I personally would take better commute/benefits/pay.
Wrong. Next company you apply to will assume prior leveling of you as L4 was correct and that you agreed with it since you took the job. This impacts your career arc greatly. Never take a downleveled job even if pay sounds better.
In my experience, you’re the one who’s “wrong”. Companies that want to hire you, if they think you’re a fit, will do just that. I have seen companies make up roles to get someone. In my experience, at most of the organizations I have worked at and know of, it has been irrelevant.
Uber secondary shares are at $33 and preferred share at $48. Since no one is getting preferred stock now, Wondering how did you get to $40? Was it just average of the two?
Uber recruiters will lie and misrepresent the share price. They did it to me.
Uber said 80$ to me when I had joined
Sounds like Google is more fun. Sometimes work is not just about money, but fun and convenience count a lot as well.
Google more fun? That’s literally the opposite of why people leave google. All google lifers I have worked with have been deeply disappointing (non engineering) and massively low performing...must be all that fun then
The higher level counts for a lot. Take it.the Google offer will be valid for a while. However I would move close to the office. A better commute is worth a lot more than you realize
How long will the Google offer be valid for? And will they be willing to redo the leveling?
No they definitely will not redo leveling (unless you interview again and there are changes). Should be valid for a year pending team match. Comp renegotiation will also be tough, but I think I’ve heard it’s possible.
Being assured a solid team is huge. Would take Google. And, a shorter commute is nothing to sneeze at.
