Easy W for Uber here. Building internal tools for the team that rules the company with an iron fist sounds like a ticket to 400k a year with a side of job security
What about growth? Will it be a good thing to put on my resume?
No, but who cares
Staff software engineer with 3YoE at Turo? Wtf
The FB offer is good for E4, I’d take that. I’ve heard mixed things about working at Uber when it comes to WLB and morale, and the role sounds bad for growth.
The role won't be good for resume?
Yes because you’re working on tools only used by a few thousand people at most. It doesn’t sound like you’ll have experience working on anything at scale. Additionally at FB, you go into bootcamp and choose your team a few weeks in.
I’d take FB. You can promo to E5 relatively easily and then your TC will far exceed Uber. You would already be at L5a at Uber which makes scaling TC a bit tougher.
Can you explain the scaling part, please
I just mean L5a to L5b TC bump wont be much and getting to L6 will take a lot of time/work/luck. Whereas E4 to E5 at Facebook is straightforward and has a higher TC bump and could take like 2 years.
I think Uber L5a would be pretty good for the resume, and the pay is solid. Take that one, work at Uber for a couple years, and move on when you're ready for the next level.
Whats the vesting schedule for Uber?
35% 25% 20% 20%
Which location is Amazon offer for?
Bay area
Wow for 3 yoe…
Location?
Uber: Bay area Facebook: Menlo Park Amazon: Bay area Turo: SF
400k TC for internal HR tools? Wow
Exactly what I thought.
The layoff stress will be so high in this team
