Uber internal transfer time

I’m planning to join Uber (if I get offer) but I want to move back to India eventually. Is there a minimum time limit in Uber for internal transfers? Amazon seems to be the only company that doesn’t.

How about Microsoft. Was there a time there ?

Not any more. 6 months is “recommended” but not required.

Ok good to know. Was planning to take an internal transfer. Thanks for the info.

Usually it would be wise to stay in SF office for a year, build relationships and transfer to a more compelling role. Internal transfers otherwise could be low balled.

What do you mean by “internal transfers could be low balled”?

You will get salary reduction to match local market. I am not sure, if your rsu would be cut, but base salary for sure.

6 months. On top of that Uber now has some ambassador program to move to India/Canada. But expect a big salary dip going from US to India.

Thanks. Not concerned about the base pay cut though.

Need not be just base. Could be unvested stocks too as u r moving to a different country, they will match u to local standards

@CashIn what exactly is Uber ambassador program to Canada? Are they promoting moving to Canada. I was trying to find jobs in Uber Toronto, Canada. Apparently I couldn’t find many sde positions . Please correct me if I am missing something.

It is about making other regions better. U r an expert here. U go there for a period of time and share ur knowledge, etc. At the end u can choose to stay there for long term. Currently opened for India and Canada I think. Only read through it briefly.
