Google 140/260/30, 15% bonus, 225 tc Uber 154 base + 9.6k shares, 13.5k bonus, 265 tc assuming 40/share How can I negotiate from here? Both are L4. I read on here that google only matches FB and Uber so I didn’t bother interviewing with OCI, Twitter, etc. That might’ve been a big mistake. 5.5 yoe, current tc is 150 at a startup.
Yoe?
5.5 but non cs degree so the first 2 yoe were crap.
$40 a share is questionable could be lower or higher but 6 month lockout too.
Even at softbank’s 32/share the tc is ahead of google.
Yssl, what? The new tender for secondary shares is at 40 per share, public info. Tenders for secondary shares are typically discounted by 25-30%. And Morningstar values Uber at 110b, at 71/share. So it is reasonable to assume that 40 per share is on the low end, and it’s likely that IPO will be atleast 20% more.
Is the $13.5K joining bonus?
It’s the annual bonus.
Excuse my ignorance, but can you pls explain the 3 numbers 140 260 30 and explain how they add up to 225? 140 is base? 260 is stocks? 30 is sign up? With 21 as bonus, I cannot get to 225
260 would vest for four years. So 65k per year
Silly - thanks!
If you want to make real money join Uber. Uber stock could be worth 5X by 2025 or even more in the following years. Google is a fantastic company but it’s stock is already at $1,200, it will definitely continue growing but not as fast as Uber’s stock in the following 5-10 years.
Waymo will eclipse uber in 15 years
Call511, Assuming you’re right (which I doubt), the better bet is still Uber because you can join now, earn stock until 2022. Hold until 2025, sell and then buy Waymo and hold for the additional 8 years of your prediction.
Did Uber negotiate with you based on your Google offer?
They made the max L4 offer initially based on the competing offer info I sent them. I didn’t have numbers from Google at the time.
Why do you prefer Google over Uber?
Even the google recruiter told me they usually match 80% of Uber’s RSU value. Then he backtracked on that after talking to the compensation committee.
1p92, that would be for early/medium stage startups which are very risky. Uber doesn’t have that much risk at this point. It has billions of dollars of net revenue (after taking out payments to drivers, promotions, driver incentives etc). It’s already proven itself. And IPO target is second half of 2019 which is just a year away. 80% match sounds good to me.

Worried that our top performer is an attrition risk. How do managers handle this?
if they dont want to match join Google, u'll get a good branding on ur resume.
OP meant Google is not matching up to Uber and not otherwise.
yep, I know. I meant if google doesnt want to match then just go with them.
