Which one might be better? Any insight on pros and cons? Thanks a lot. FB: 205/700/100 sign on Uber: 200/700, said it could make adjustments to match the sign on. I like FB’s flexibility in team choice and stability. Uber could have more upside but not sure about culture and flexible vacation. Does Uber have better wlb? Which one have better refresh? TC 🥜200…
Your FB RSUs and sign on are making me want to quit. I’m about to hit my cliff and will be paid like an E4 engineer while doing E5 work 🤷
Friend who recently joined Uber said WLB is much better over there.
Thanks! Did they mention about their flexible vacation days? the so-called unlimited vacations feel like very limited vacations in reality…
No they didn't mention flexible vacation days, probably its impact will only show up when people start travelling more.
Yoe?
Yoe?
Uber is a shit show
Could you please be more specific? Cultural? Or stocks? Thanks
Take FB. Refreshers at FB are much higher so your 4 year avg TC would be higher at FB. FB has bad WLB and if that’s what you’re optimizing for then Uber I’d say. But WLB at Uber is team specific.
Thanks! Isn’t FB WLB also team specific? Or bad in most teams?
Bad in most teams. It’s like hunger games around the PSC. Code quality is bad so most of the smallest fixes take forever. Adding new services is easier since you can just design and build from scratch.
Op is the fb offer in bay ?
Not in bay
Which area? Those are the max numbers for bay
I am hearing that Uber wlb is way better than FB and there is growth too. I also anticipate the stock to go up once delta clears up. Getting in now at low stock price is good
Don’t fall for that trap. Uber’s stock has been severely underperforming the market even before Covid. Most employees want to get out. But yes, Uber’s WLB in general is better than FB. Code quality is a lot better. But, Uber’s promo cycle is long and tiresome. Need to write a resume and manager needs to convince other managers in the org for your promo. For 5B+ you need to convince others in a meeting (read as: interview) for your promo in addition to the resume.
Promo situation is way worse at FB 🙂
Poll?
Take FB. They are doing 220/750 these days. Push for more. Yoe?
Do we need competing offers to go beyond the E5 range? Will FB match competing offers if it falls outside the band?
Yes. No. FB has a max they won't go beyond that . To get the max you need competing offers
