Sign on is only for 1st year?

Airbnb weasel Jul 19, 2019

Isn't that, by definition, a sign on bonus?

Samsung anotherdat Jul 19, 2019

Amazon does sign on differently. Also for Microsoft offer I had they gave me sign on that was split between 2 years hence the question

Do you have 13 yoe tho?

FB, more talented engs and much more cash flow. Uber is still on the way to prove the business model, more uncertainty.

Not sure about more talented eng folks. Many at Uber are ex-FB/G.

Nice offers. First time I see an e5 with 700k stock. I got 600k few months ago

FB for faster promo opportunities but more work worse WLB, Uber otherwise. FB to learn people skills, Uber to work in a codebase with a decent quality. FB if social network still makes sense to you, Uber if you believe they are doing right things. FB for perks, Uber for being reasonably sized.

Cloudera dser54 OP Jul 19, 2019

Thanks.

Facebook sn37&1 Jul 19, 2019

True. FB codebase is a mess. Chances are you will learn more in Uber.

Google zESG68 Jul 19, 2019

OP Keep in mind that at FB you will mostly have bad WLB, constant fire fighting, code quality isn’t that great. On the bright side you will have faster promotion and better perks there
