How much better?

Recruiter said something to the effect of 'We hired extensively last quarter in Lyft Seattle and have no longer openings for T5'.

First rule of groundfighting - If you can't Lyft your way out, Grab 'em by the balls...

Grab is a Southeast Asian company so expect wired timing for meetings, also it is not as 'prestigious' as Lyft. What's your YOE?

Grab's RSUs are not exactly paper money. You can sell them off in the internal market anytime you want.

What's the composition of the offer? Base/stockPerYear/sign-on?

Why does Grab need an office in Seattle?
