Which offer should I take? Lyft obviously has higher prestige, but im a little concerned my rsus wont be worth as much a year from now. Oracle seems like the safer bet. I have 8 yoe. Lyft level: T5 (mid) base: 200k equity: 825k signing: 50k location: sf refreshers: yes, 70-90k? Oracle OCI level: IC4 base: 225k equity: 650k signing: 20k location: Santa Clara refreshers: yes, 125-400k? can anyone comfirm if Oracle has refreshers? update: I ended up going with Lyft!
YOE? And I wouldnāt say Lyft has a higher prestige than Oracle... itās just considered a more hip place to work..
updated post with yoe. Recruiters and hiring managers probably have the opinion that Lyft engineers are higher caliber.
Does Oracle have prestige? I had a couple of friends at Oracle and their pay was shit, except for in Oracle cloud. And they seemed miserable.
How is the refreshers in both of the companies? Something to consider as well.
I know Lyft doesnāt have refreshers. Think oracle doesnāt either
Lyft has pretty solid refresher and it started 2019. T5 refresh ranges from 90-360k
Aah so it was these two companies you mentioned about in our other conversation! Iād say go with Lyft. Reasons - prestige, perks, SF, smarter people to work with, definitely more interesting problems, you will be actually working on something which would be helping people in their everyday life, life is too short to work for a boring company like OCI, I donāt think the stock is going any further down than it already is!
Oracle is where dreams go to die. Also bonuses and raises are nonexistent. Source: multiple friends waiting for green card at Oracle
Does Oracle OCI suck as bad?
No, OCI is the anti-oracle.
Is the Lyft offer after negotiation? Maybe try asking for some more stocks
Iām still negotiating, itās not final yet. Based on other final offers Iāve seen, the best I can do is probably 800k in equity.
See you at Oracle. Just got an offer as well.
Whatās the reason for the move?
Can I pm you?
I don't see much upside for Lyft . I'd go with Oracle.
Those refreshers though
What if the stock price halves?
Itās basically your call at this point. Obviously, Oracle is the much safer choice but probably no interesting work.
The particular team Iād be joining does very interesting work.
Then Iād suggest Oracle. Curious, how was your interview? Leetcode mediums/hards?
Oracle is also known to cut teams and projects left and right.
Unlike Uber and Lyft, which have only one project; taxis v2. Why people considered getting overpaid to run a cab stand as prestigious is going to be a very pertinent question during the next cycle.
Really? Coming from a wannabe cloud ripoff? Iāve been there and itās not fun. Uber had its layoffs as well but not Lyft.

Lyft might be 0, but might be 1.5 mil. You like to gamble??
I think itās more likely to be 0. Itās like playing Russian roulette
Why the fuck would you even apply then?
