Is it still a good time to join uber?
Is it still a good time to join Uber? Will the company tank after its IPO in a few years, or worse, never see the light of IPO? If you have a stable job in FAANG, compensation is about the same, would you give up FANNG unvested equity to join Uber?
If you’re junior hellz yeah. If you’re senior all depends on how many 0’s on that offer 🤑
about the same. amazon doesn’t pay well as you all know.
Get a competing offer (if there’s time) and use as leverage to negotiate up initial stock grant. I’m L4 and paid low for Bay Area, but bonus was good this last cycle. Also I feel my career went 0 to 💯 since I joined, don’t regret a thing
They're killing the competition.
The Softbank deal helps by selling their foreign business to the overseas competitors. This stabilize Uber, but there goes the foreign upside potential too.
Uber has so much stake in their own rideshare competitors so if rideshare succeeds then Uber succeeds.
Yeah, work life balance and workplace culture are relatively great now, gathering from discussions between some of my friends who work at FANG and other companies.
I personally don’t think so. When was the last time you heard something good about them in the news? And didn’t Lyft crush them last year? Probably will continue this year
source? lyft vs uber is like square vs paypal, not that close yet
Thats true, Uber is stil 6-8x larger. But it was like 20x last year and 10x just a few months ago.
