~2 yoe in software Google (L3) (MV) 130K base 340K GSU equity 25K sign-on Uber (SWE2) (SF) 140K base ~6100 RSU equity (409a: 205K, preferred: 300K) 30K sign-on target cash bonus: between 13K and 26K target equity refresh: 53K I like both teams, but I'm slightly leaning towards Uber due to better location for me and unlimited PTO. Regarding Google, I'm not sure how much equity refresh to expect (also over how many years, and when does refresh kick in). Thoughts?
Your account says Uber already..?
Asking for a friend lol. I think he interned in Uber
How did you get a sign-on? My recruiter told me Uber is not doing sign-on for anyone...
No, not trolling, though did fudge up the numbers slightly
Uber. With 2 yoe, optimize for learning. You’ll actually build things and grow at uber. At google you’ll just keep the lights on.
Do you reckon there are still interesting projects at Uber or have things stabilized for the most part? Trying to decide between Netflix and Uber
Tons and tons of interesting projects. If anything, they are getting more interesting and more challenging as the demands and complexities have risen considerably since I joined. Joining uber now would be like joining google in like 2002-04. Solid product market fit in the core product. A few new very promising things in the pipeline and a good decade of work ahead to perfect and optimize. Eats and freight are at the beginning of the journey. Elevate is on the roadmap. Tons of infra to build out to create a highly reliable base for what is easily the largest IoT company with a real world impact (moving people around) The way one of my colleagues put it in my interview: “at uber you basically get to work on building sim city for planet earth except without the sim part. Transportation is the circulatory system of the planet and we’re establishing ourselves as the heart.”
Holy shit ! Did you win a Nobel prize at 11 or something ?
Why
Wut? Those look like bog standard offers.
