Promoted to Eng 2 at Uber in August (3 YOE). After investing months prepping for Google interview, offer is for L3 110k base. Recruiter isn’t budging even with competing 130k startup offer. I want to work at Google but taking a 20k base cut is a punch in the stomach.
What about your RSU’s?
Don't go for it. Speaking from personal experience. They might say you will be eligible for promotion in 6 months but that is a lie. It will set you back 2 years at a minimum. There is a level saturation at Google. Promo rates are going down and so is the average level of new hires. Sorry this happened to you, but at least you can opt out.
Thanks @memer I appreciate the info!Most likely going to pass on the offer
Is this true? Previously promotion to L4 was almost trivial, like 1 year
Why leave uber
I’m on ATG, Uber itself is doing awesome right now but lots of people are leaving ATG. Not interested in moving to SF
Well, negotiate hard my friend. As a new grad, I got higher base and rsu from google than u...
Is prestige worth it?
Do you have competing offers from larger companies? Heard a good amount of people use FB offers to get Google to match
You should compare TC not base. From what you said, your Google offer is 110k + 15% bonus + 133k GSU. This is is about 160k TC. Not bad for L3. What is your current TC at Uber? Also, 133k in Google stock is worth 133k in today's dollars.
Wait, do you get 133k rsu per year at L3. That's pretty good!!
i’d do it. i’ve voluntarily taken 50% TC cut to go where i wanted. it’s not all about TC, and you’re not even talking TC you’re taking base.
Stay poor
Sounds like your decision is already made, no?
Yeah for the most part, I really want to be there. But that’s just a big bummer
