A friend of mine ( a fresh college graduate) has offer from Uber and Expedia. They now have to decide between the two and with COVID 19 , both companies are equally unstable. They prefer to join Uber but given that Uber just laid of 20% of their workforce, do you think tech employees in India are going to get an axe , that too the fresh grads ? Looking from insights from any Uber /Expedia IN employees of the current state there.
I doubt engineers in India are going to get affected. They can sustain 3-4 engineers in India for the cost of one engineer in the US. That said, Uber for learning and Expedia for chill life. I would pick Uber easily.
Uber anyday. Expedia is in an even worse position.
I'm at Expedia. I think Expedia balance sheet is better than a startup like Uber. Uber pay on average is higher tho.
Same situation ,also a fresh college grad ,have an offer from Uber. 🤞 Hope they honour them
How much do they pay to fresh grads in India these days?
Uber pays around 33LPA TC to fresh grads. Not sure if they have raised it now.
Go with uber, even if layoffs happen, SE1s are least likely to get 🔥
Expedia was laying off people before covid. Uber all the way
Uber had layoffs last year
Not a big diff. Dara is a great CEO. Just not a tech CEO. He has never understood engineering. Uber is turning into the old Expedia.
uber is just expedia in disguise. its going the same damn way. but they may pay better
Uber without a doubt. We cut 10% before the virus. Last week we announced another round of cuts, furloughs, voluntary reduction in hours, and pay cuts. Expedia was a sinking ship before the virus, we are now a submarine in an ocean of tears and failure.
Nice visual image.
Ask this question to Dara. He will have a better POV.
