YOE?

20 months

Did Uber increase base for L4?

Amazon () { :; }; OP May 23, 2019

I think it’s because of IPO, they used to be RSU heavy, now focus on base

Uber broforce May 23, 2019

Yeah, this was L5 base pre IPO.

Uber broforce May 23, 2019

I would go for U - better WLB and higher TC. Would only consider F if TC was significantly higher.

How are the stock refreshers in uber?

Uber saAP8D May 23, 2019

Great, this year at least. I got 40k refresh as an average performer as a new grad

Did they promise that they’d file a green card for you right away? Do you have h1b?

Amazon () { :; }; OP May 23, 2019

I have an H1b, got it last year, so I have almost 5 years after counting renewal, and both companies told me they would file one for me in the first few months. Even Amazon is filing one but I don’t want to stay here for next 2 years to get my i140. I would have preferred to go to uber and file my green card there. But I am not sure about the company performance in the next few years based on how much cash they are burning.

Facebook for sure. Uber won’t be around in 2 years.

Uber Wmfj76 May 23, 2019

lol! Good one.

Uber Wmfj76 May 23, 2019

@OP definitely choose Uber. High TC plus WLB is definitely good here compared to FB.

Uber rRrRebU May 24, 2019

FB will always be around, I’ll suggest join Uber, as also their share price is low so you’ll get good number of shares, if things doesn’t improve at Uber then you can move to FB or other company after getting your I-140 which takes around 1 to 1.5 year

Did you ask FB to match Uber offer?

Amazon () { :; }; OP Jun 1, 2019

No they did it themselves, increased RSUs to 360k
