Uber DS New Grad
Base: 115k
Stock: 40k / 4 years
Signon: 10k
Annual Bonus: 0-20%
Location: SF

I have a separate offer from a Series C startup
Base: 120K
Stock Options: Estimated value $20k/4 years
Signon: 10k
Location: Remote

Work Exp: Graduating from an MS program, have 3 years of non-tech experience.

Would appreciate any advice/insight on the two offers. From a glance, the startup offer being fully remote seems like better TC, but the role at Uber would be better for long-term career growth. Have not started negotiation with Uber yet.

    Hmm id say uber. im of the opinion that the big name is better early on than the startup. Getting a faang or other big tech company on your resume opens doors and you will easily be able to get hired at various startups after that

    Startup is good only if you like to learn a lot early in the career because you will need to wear multiple hats & figure out a lot of stuff by yourself. Uber gives more structure to work, better code base, you can utilize mentorships & learn from experienced individuals and later implement them at startup too..it all depends on what you like.

    Location gives unfair advantage that you want in the career. I did same trade off to move from Buffalo to Bay Area. If you haven’t yet it’s the time of collecting experiences and building for scale. Same startup would be happy to hire you even after Uber experience.
