Got 3 offers, debating what to choose. TC at Google and Uber is about the same at 390k, Microsoft is 370. Google L5 Great WLB, reputation, and hard to pass on this psychologically. Internal mobility is said to be good. However, financial and career growth is probably slow. Microsoft 65 Boring, great wlb, very short commute. Not super excited about the work but the team sounds great. Uber L5a Scared of layoffs, bad culture, and stock plunging back which will really mess my TC. However, if stock increases that's some really nice $$$. I also think career opportunities like promotions will be good compared to the others. Thoughts appreciated.
Would you sell your Google stock and invest it all in Uber? If not then financially Uber is not as good as Google right?
That's a good point
TBH, I don’t think this is a good barometer. Uber stock is more volatile but it depends on your risk tolerance. Uber stock got trashed because people weren’t traveling, that’s slowly changing now.
Msft TC breakdown? YOE?
Is Google and Uber in bay area? And MS in Bellevue? If yes MS offer is way better.. I would choose between Google and MSFT
Despite people shitting on Google stock, it’s still one of the best tech stock. People think Google should grow more because hey! We’re google!
“Google stock sucks! It’s only grown 50% in the last year.” People are stupid.
It's all relative. In a market year where it's common to see 2-4x, you can understand the sentiment
Take Msft since 65 is high end L5 and principal
Refresher sucks tho
Which area is this in? Also I would advice take msft, go to 66 then switch to google for L6
Why not ask to join as 66
Yeah nice suggestion. Try to negotiate as 66 for same salary maybe. Switch to google next year as L6
I don't trust dara. He'll kill a lot of Uber products if they don't make money. He seems very impatient. Autonomous driving is the future and this dude sold the unit. What a douche!
That’s my daddy. Don’t bad mouth him
He's my daddy too. I picked up a bunch of Uber shares at 14.5 but I feel bad for the engineers who work there when suddenly this dude comes and sacks them
Can any of the Google folks talk to how easy/hard it is to get from L5 to L6?
Too hard to talk even 🥲
Forget about it.
I got Uber offer 3 week back but rejected due to lay-off in future. Uber does not look good in 2021, due to corona virus.
Clever. lay off == 0 RSU vested
What about the upside from when COVID gets better/"gone"?
YOE?
