RSU refresher

Got the Uber 5a offer recently. Just noticed that I have $105k in equity refresh. I plan to join in Feb, how much should I expect to get in my first year? Should I consider RSU refresher as part of TC for first year? FYI: 191 base + 21.5 bonus + 17k RSU* 40.88; no sign-on YOE: 5

Thats a solid offer. Refreshes are normally allocated after first year. What is your specialization?

Apple IinkedIn OP Dec 31, 2018

Thanks! No particular specialization, will join marketplace.

Very solid offer! Refresher will be 11/12 of your target refresh.

Apple IinkedIn OP Dec 31, 2018

Ty. Does it mean I could get some stocks (1/36) only one month after my start date? Or I need to wait for one year before I could get those stocks?

Uber syKN30 Dec 31, 2018

No, refresh is for year-end. So your first will be in 01/2020.

No stocks in first year. You get 1/4 of your initial grant at end of your first year, and based on performance may get a refresher grant at the end of 2019 which vests monthly over 3 years. Your target refresher for 2019 will be 11/12 your usual target because you will work here for 11 months in 2019. Good offer for your yoe btw, are you back end or what? Any counter offers?

Apple IinkedIn OP Dec 31, 2018

Yes, backend. No competing offer, so Uber is not willing to negotiate or give me sign on.

Want to share any insights on the interview process? Types of questions? Most challenging aspect etc..

Apple IinkedIn OP Dec 31, 2018

The interview was relatively easier than Google, which I failed. 2 coding + 2 system design + 1 hiring manager behavior. System designs are mainly about data streaming, so I used Kafka. Coding are more leetcode median, not exactly, but some variations.

What's your TC at Apple?

Apple IinkedIn OP Dec 31, 2018

Too low to disclose. So I am indeed surprised Uber gave me such high number even without any negotiation.

Is it not ~48 instead of 40 per RSU?
