Posting for a friend who joined google as an L 7 a few weeks ago but got an offer from uber for L 6 role. yoe: ~18, G current TC: approx. 650. uber TC: 800 (both 4yr avg) Questions: 1. Is google L 7 same as uber L 6? looks like it is but just looking for confirmation. 2. Is the extra money worth taking up uber offer given the lower stability of the company compared to G and all other benefits G offers relative to uber? Yes, it is a very personal decision but just looking for opinions/thoughts as additional input to make the decision. Thanks. #uber #tech #google
I would take Uber given the comp difference. If you are worried about Uber stability you can sell RSU and invest in other ETF/stocks. Do you mind sharing the breakdown of tc for both G and Uber
Sure. Thanks. That's one way. Let me find out and send you a dm on comp breakdown shortly.
Yes L7 Google is same as L6 Uber. 150k is a lot of money. For many of them it's their salary or more. It depends on what price are you willing to put to stay at Google.
That's the big question since majority of the comp is tied to equity, a lot depends on future unknown unknowns and any number you assign as premium for G's stability gets quickly complicated. In addition, a couple years spent at G and the experience gained may open doors that may not be available through uber's role. List goes on. The other concern is getting banned at G for leaving so soon for future opportunities. But I guess the answer is there are many other companies.
Uber
Google 7 = Uber 7. No thanks
Why would you average them both? They both front load. TC calc is wrong?
Why not average? That is the offered TC without refreshers.
That’s the point - uber is going to offer refreshers to maintain tc constant. Source - i spoke to the recruiter and signed an offer. Not sure about google though
Go for Uber. Levelling is ok. You are likely Uber 6.5 but it does not exists and you may not get Uber L7 (Director)
Your friend, eh? ;)
G7 = U6.75 Ask G to bump TC
Why would G lowball like this. Meanwhile fb is literally offering e7 1mil tc.
