I’m an ex FB E6 engineer currently working in a startup (posting from a friends account). I’ve tried interviewing for Google L6 and Uber 5B a couple of times, but always end up with L5 at Google and 5a at Uber. I usually prep really well for the interviews, but out of the 5-6 interviews one of them ends up average and as result I don’t make it. People who have successfully interviewed for these levels, could you share some advice/prep strategy?

Uber are so full of themselves. 5a compensation is way lower than other companies. I got a $300k offer from them recently, and no matter how many competing offers I give them, they wouldn’t budge (I brought 400k+ competing offers).

  What level are you now? Are you able to get 400k+ at L5?

  It's more difficult this year with Dara. Last year I got a somewhat downleveled L5a but with 450k TC

  Uber has an anti discrimination system in place to ensure men and women are paid exactly the same down to the Millicent to combat all the sexual harassment claims. What they offer you is computed by a third party based on many factors but most important factor being equal pay, company policy is zero deviation from that

  I can imagine Uber is losing so many candidates because of this.

  @Rqwx5o, what was the 409a valuation of the stock when you got the offer? I've recently received an offer, hence the question.

  I don't remember what was the 409a. I'm estimating the stock to be worth around $50 or a bit more

Maybe losing people but doing the right thing and that feels really good

  Losing good people because you can’t pay them is not doing the right thing.
  
  Recruiters who manipulate and lie are what causes women to not negotiate. Women naturally trust easier than men. It’s not just a negotiation piece, when a recruiter lies and says “these are the best and final numbers” I think women believe that.
  
  If you want to make real change, gut your recruiters.

Both companies tend to downlevel you a bit. Uber has better opportunities to quickly bounce back. I took 5a and making my way up.

  Any tips? I am in the same boat. Would love to share some thoughts. What compensation did you get while joining Uber?

Take the offer and work your way up to L6. Unless you are demonstrably above L6 bar you will be down-leveled.

Agree with ILqb74 . People who join purely for money end up doing nothing. Uber is better of not having these folks. Silicon Valley folks are too entitled they need to get out of this mind set

Getting hired at L6 at Google is really tough... Don't be too rough on yourself.
