Just received L5 offers from these companies, (L5a in the case of Uber), TC around the same for all three, 400k range not including signon and refresh. 4.5 YOE. Which one is the best for an L5, In terms of career growth, equity upside, and quality of life?
If all the TC offers are the same choose Uber. Generally Airbnb and Facebook all give offers much higher than ours. Those two companies are almost always among the most generous of offers. I would ask both for more.
I would choose Airbnb, no doubt, purely from a long term financial perspective.
Airbnb for quality of life. People are nicer there
Decide between fb and airbnb. Your life as a low level IC at uber over the next few years while they squeeze for profitability will not be pleasant. Huge risk too since they burn so much cash, and if you negotiate aggressively airbnb/fb offers will blow away Uber. Despite what people say on this app I think fb is pretty safe. They print cash at super high margins and aren't going anywhere. They still have some of the best talent and most interesting problems in the bay. Also they have the best perks. Airbnb has truly amazing culture, great upside, and very generous refreshers that could easily put your tc at 600k by year 3. People are super nice here and very smart. Also consider your team and the commute. Congrats on your offers OP, I hope you decide to join us.
Quality of life is good here
Where would OP learn/grow the most though? Seems to me that if even if company A has worst QoL or TC, might be worth going there for the growth/learning (which even from a purely financial perspective, might play out in the long run to offset the lower TC now)
I also received offer from Facebook Uber and Airbnb all L5 (Uber L5a) Have you made the decision? Just PMed you.

Got an offer from Truth Social
Wow L5A at 5YOE? That’s amazing. Do you have an advanced degree or great alma mater?
Bachelor's from a top four CS school. It's really nothing special. I have classmates that went from 3-6 at Google and Facebook in four years and 3-5a at Uber in three years.
That’s awesome, congrats. I’m from a top four as well, but the economy was in quite a different state when I graduated ;)
