Bloomberg -> Uber New Mobilities

Been at Bloomberg for ~6mo. Inteviewed at Uber, loved the team, mission, etc. Got offer from Uber NeMo. SWE I. Details: - 126,000 - 4000 shares - 11-22k Cash Bonus - 26-52k Equity Refresh - 35k signing Probably gonna take it, solid offer, great team/people and I'm really not feeling Bloombergs "tech". I'm looking to hit SWE II come July review. Possible? Anything else I should know? I take it Bloombergs gonna want their signing and relo back, any way out of this? TC: 180 YoE: 2yrs

Are you in NY currently and will relocate? Or does Uber have a NY office?

Uber has an NY office but yes, I'd move NY to SF, which kinda sucks since that's an obvious downgrade.

Take it! Looks great offer for SWE1. Typically for 12 months promo is not allowed after joining so that you get a chance to display your skills and impact.

I was told I was right on the edge for SWE I and SWE II. They ended up levelling me in at I, but I was told that by manager that working hard in that first ~7mo could give enough signal to get promo'd. Just wanted to double check that, and everything else Uber! And ya, I probably will! Kinda miffed I don't get to go through any of my other interview loops, but hey, it's a great opportunity!

It might be possible to get promoted in 7 months but don’t bank on it. Promotion is always somewhat difficult, and you may not have enough of an impact under your belt in 6-7 months. After 1 year is much more likely if you perform well. Your offer is anyway top of the line L3 - almost feels L4 in some aspects.

This is a great offer for SWE I and it’s a good team to join. I wouldn’t factor in top bonus or possibility of early promotion in my decision. That may happen but it’s very difficult to get. Your offer is still very good.

Bloomberg $ROPE OP Nov 5, 2018

For sure, not depending on promo, but I just want to know it's within striking distance. Super down for "very difficult", not down for "Impossible because of beaurocracy" since that's what I'm aiming to avoid by leaving Bloomberg.

You can get promo'd from I to II in the 7 month cycle. Depends on how good you are. It's a good offer.
