assuming same starting TC (or rather... assume a standard starting package for that company’s level)
For FB e4, it is either up or out. If you join FB, prepare to work very very hard, but the good thing is that you can get promo to e5 faster than in most other companies if you put in the hard work. FB is high risk and high reward, whereas Lyft is a safe and sane bet.
Hmm... what about upside at Lyft too? Like joining a team that helps make the company profitable. The stock jump over that time would be more than fb, no?
Also I know e5 is terminal level. Is there a terminal level at Lyft?
Money is not that important , do you have good projects to work on???
Which is why I said assuming the same TC.... But yes, I like your question.
