Thank you blind for helping me with the job shopping. The preparation was way harder than I anticipated and every rejection made it more difficult. I didn't interview anywhere in last 7 years and hence, it took a lot of effort to develop the interviewing skills. But the hard work, consistency and leetcoding with a bit of luck paid off.

I got multiple offers and decided to join Uber.

Offers: Salesforce, Twitter, DoorDash, Uber, Microsoft
Rejections: LinkedIn, Wayfair, FB, Snap, Square, Stripe
Decided not to give scheduled onsite interviews: OCI, Google (because of bad repo of low comp & down-leveling), Tiktok

Salesforce: ~500k
Twitter: ~500k
Doordash: Didn't follow on compensation as it was an E5 offer
Uber: ~811k [Accepted] - Year 1 comp with 35% equity vest
Microsoft: Waiting for numbers

YOE: 8.5 yrs
Old TC: <250k
New TC: ~811k (Uber)
Location: Seattle

Happy to answer any questions.
