    LinkedIn senior is like SDE2 which you normally get two years out of college to my understanding. I am surprised that base is this high but LinkedIn is known for paying very well. If you are senior at Uber with long years of relevant experience, I would shoot for staff which is equivalent of senior at other big tech.

      RSU looks really good. You will get 280k ish including cash bonus. Not sure if they have annual stock refresh though. If u are good enough to pass LinkedIn (and previously Uber), I guess you can pass interview at any companies though and you could get senior which will award you with 300-350k. If you don’t afford that time at Uber, I would go to LinkedIn and continue interviewing.
