Lyft Level 5
Posts
- Not getting promoted Most companies, Lyft, Google and Facebook to name a few, don’t require employees to get promoted beyond level 5. I used to think these folks languishing at this level were losers, but as I grew wiser, I realize that they’ve chosen to spend more time in life on other things. Quite frankly, now I’m th
- I got rejected from all 7 onsite interviews. AMA Google FB Uber (ATG) Cruise (Passed on-site but was rejected during team matching. Recruiter botched interview role) Lyft (Level 5) Airbnb Confluent Having gotten an offer at Uber a year ago I really thought I would have a chance at getting an offer again. I passed all of my phone screens with 100
- Google Data Scientist vs Lyft Research Scientist What is the better career move if long term i am interested in creating production ML algos? This is what RS do at Lyft, while Google DS do metrics and experimentation. But Google is a better brand, more data, safe, likely better WLB (though Lyft seems goos as well), and more teams to move around in
- vote Coming up on 4 years at Lyft and bad at interviewing. Keep trying? Howdy blind. I’m almost at 4 years at L. Total 9 YOE. I’m level 5 aka senior. High ratings mean my TC is a bit under 500k. I’m just a bit burnt out, and even though promo appears to be likely within the next year or so, I feel like starting somewhere new is important for me to feel like I’m progres
- vote Should I expect pay cut moving from Lyft to start up? I got into Lyft with a great offer (TC jumped almost 50% at the time), I assumed it was because I was being severely underpaid at my previous job. I've been interviewing and got an offer from a start up, and TC is 20% lower! Are they intentionally trying to lowball me or is TC at Lyft so inflated t
- Getting near 380 in "TC" but not sure how it compares to real money I'm level 5 at Lyft. 180 base and 25k*"$32" RSU which makes my tc 380 I was L4 at Google and was getting 250 tc with stock prices of those days. I go back and forth between thinking this is a better deal than Google and fomoing Google stocks. I left google about a year ago How should I feel?
- Better title: PM or Director of Product Operations? I have an opportunity to choose either title. The role and pay would be the same otherwise, but I wanted to get some thoughts on which would be perceived as more senior or impressive on a resume. I'm particularly interested to hear from people outside Lyft. Product Manager (level 5 but no one would

- vote Best Companies for Front End (Web) Career?

- vote Help evaluate offers Obviously there are pros and cons with all of them. Twilio has been doing well recently and will likely grow a lot in coming years.
