Asking for a friend who works for Lyft and considering applying to Uber. Did anybody jumped ship and moved from Lyft to Uber or the other way around? Are there any restrictions that prevents you from joining the competitor? TC 200 #tech #softwareengineer #jobs
I know people who went to Lyft and people who joined from Lyft. Unless you are senior leadership, don’t think anyone cares.
Half of our leadership jumped ship to Doordash 🤷♀️
i think the only consideration is that if you announce you are going to the competitor, they will fire you on the spot instead of letting you have the usual two weeks notice
Worked at Uber before, now at Lyft. Feel free to DM. For sure depends on group, team and in case of these companies even the year. No restrictions or any issues in my experience.
How different is the culture and the perks?
Perks are or at least were better at Uber, office better at Lyft. Culture felt a lot better at Lyft but both were pretty bad on “bad stock days”. Lyft has more ex-FANG and it feels (not everywhere). Lyft tends to pay quite a bit more in my experience and other offers I know of. During 2020 there were offset grants to compensate stock drop for example. But Uber pays bonuses. Lyft just feels a lot more flexible on getting right talent and nimble on execution. Lyft systems are less mature and a lot of opportunities to improve stuff. Uber has a lot of massive tech that shows aging and need of support. This all really depends on group and team like I said.

'Hindutva': The Radical Hindu Ideology That Seeks to 'Push Christianity Out of India’
having any restriction will kick in anti-trust and companies can be criminally prosecuted afaik
Anti-trust protects consumers not employees. You should familiarize yourself with the world of finance and how folks there have strictly enforced non-competes. Even many junior ICs. The reason most tech companies don’t have it is due to California regulations. Amazon, not based in CA, actually has a non-compete clause in their employment agreements that they are known to have enforced in the past in some cases.
@princeZ I think you are not aware of Apple-Google non-compete incident
