Recently got L4 offers from both Facebook and Lyft. WLB is my major concern because it is very good at Microsoft. Is there any other advantage of joining Lyft over Facebook?
Lyft WLB is waaaaay better than FB. FB is known to be one of the more intense places to work.
What’s the stock refresher at Lyft after 2 years?
monstrous initial grant, with refreshers at about 1/4 of the initial each year starting at 2nd annual review
🤔 - you could probably move to Fb again. Lyft valuation is low so there’s more upside and you can probably grow more . But depends on your risk tolerance.
Is Lyft L5 or L4? Your title says 5 but description says they're both 4.
L4
Level 5 is Lyft's self driving operation
Level 5 is the name of Lyft’s autonomous driving unit.
How’s that org? Why does it have exclusive name?
It’s good from what I hear though I don’t know much since it’s in Palo Alto.
Can you briefly describe your preparation for lyft? I have an onsite coming soon.
Take lyft or fb, no bad choice here
Sad to admit that lyft is clearly the better choice here for both WLB and interesting work. I used to work at FB and WLB was pretty terrible, way better at uber.
Make no mistake. Avoid FB. As someone who used to be in Lyft, you will get much better WLB and career growth at Lyft
Do you regret joining fb?
Wait you had lyft to facebook move?
If A wants you more than B, you are likely to getter career growth if you are good.
I can’t tell as both are general software engineer hire.
which offer did you end up taking? i have an offer from level 5 lyft team as well as uber. need to decide in the next couple of days. comp is similar
