(SORRY FOR LONG POST)
Background:
Moved here 4 months back from Amazon (new SDE-3) and joined at IC3 level. (Left competing FB, Msft and Uber offers)
Amazon TC (newly promoted L6): $320k
FB offer E5: $410k
Msft offer L64: first 2 years $320k with joining cash
Uber offer TC: $400k 5a level
Dropbox offer IC3 (Accepted): $440k
Yoe: 8
Decided to join Dropbox due to all positive reviews about talented engineers, humble nature of people, great culture and WLB and perks
————
Current Situation:
I know comparing with Amazon is just setting low bar but man my life is better. Spending good time with family (1yo son) n wife.
Working on some really interesting project in new business, developing customer facing products n learning new tech stacks.
Amazing team mates, no hate no politics just genuinely nice people all around (including manager)
With stock appreciation my current 1st year TC is ~$500k ($450~~ after that with minimum refreshers)
GREAT WLB (cannot emphasize on this enough):
Making top tier money but have good wlb (5-6hr per day work) 10-5-5
Amazing perks, using $7000 for the best things which I would not usually. So in general standard of living went up.
————
MY QUESTION:
Is this real? I mean is it true for many folks?
Will the WLB take a hit later ?
I’m already working on high visibility projects but don’t feel the stress that much compared to AWS
Are there other companies out there which is providing such Wlb with so good pay n talent?

Also Google definitely doesn’t pay better than dbx have team mates who would vouch for it, but ppl still join G for prestige (stupid ImHO)
But yes Uber, Airbnb, Pinterest, Snap are some that usually pays same/better than Dbx.
But it is still mainly about concurrency.
