Tc: 260k total. yoe 10. cleared uber interview. waiting for recruiter call to discuss details. what can i expect? would i be 5a or 5b? levels.fyi has wide range wrt compensation. Trying to prep up for negotiation. Any suggestions for me?
Depends on how well you did in the interview, I think.
Most likely 5a unless you’re a staff engineer equivalent at ur current company.
Yes Seems 5a. Base should be ~190K stocks around ~ 700K. Annual bonus ~ 30K
thanks for all the help. how much can i push with a competing offer? Also, is it oky to reveal competing company and all numbers to each other? (i have something in the pipeline that _may_ materialize thus asking). also, should i ask for a week to decide? or that’s not up to me?
The above offer should beat other competing offers for same level. What other offers do u have?
working on lyft and linkedin offers. will know soon
Don’t join Uber .... things are not well ... Eng layoffs coming ....even stocks are not doing well .... overall some folks in ELT sucks ....
oh. i liked the team and what not. :/ What is ELT in this regard?
ELT ==> Engineering Leadership Team So folks at Executive level is not handling things very well, not sure you Immigration status .... as Engineering layoffs are coming .... so even if you plan to join just come with that mindset ..... Though I myself believe in Uber, but it’s certainly for long race .... but just be careful with lay-off situation Every quarter folks talks about layoffs and you never know who will be next .... as company is not profitable and trying to save money everywhere possible.... so anything can happen just be prepared with that mindset .... good luck in any decision you make 👍 One lesson I have learned - always join profitable company if they are public
thanks for all the insights. really appreciate it. i tried to gauge some of this situation around lyoffs but everyone was pretty confident in engineering. everyone tried to sell me the direction and attitude change because of dara. one of the main reasons i like uber is it still looks scrappy and there are things to work on and improve where one can make an impact. I feel happy i know about blind to get some real diverse perspectives so thanks a lot. :)
While I see some merit in ImDaraOrTK’s point of view, my opinion is that he/she is a bit paranoid when it comes to the interpretation of Thuans words. For one, you shouldn’t be discussing internal information in public. And for second, my interpretation was that he thinks engineering is bloated and we can be more efficient with the people we have. Maybe we will slow the rate of hiring. Maybe we’ll redistribute people. Maybe we’ll performance manage better. But if you are a good performer, I wouldn’t worry too much. @OP: if you like the team and challenges, please join the company. There are very few public companies with the kind of impact you could make at Uber’s scale.
How many design rounds did you have?
1 design, 2 coding
Mostly 5a
