Have the following offers:
Uber: 410K TC + 60K signon over 2 years | L5a
Doordash: 387K TC + 20K signon | L5
Currently at G with 300K TC at L4 and 5 yoe. I like the team and have good WLB and likely L5 next year (TC will reach 350K then).
Worth switching for higher pay and level? Both of their offices are 30 mins of extra commute during peak hours.

In contrast, Iโve seen coworkers at Stripe go from the equivalent of L3 to L5 in 3 years.
Yet Iโd trust the Stripe worker to be more capable, as the amount of work and responsibility that goes into being an L5 equivalent is much greater than at Google, at least in my experience.
Ultimately, the promo system is one of the main reasons I switched, and it worked out well for me, as I got promoted much faster within Stripe.
TC: $700k
