Dude... and people wonder why we have a bad reputation....
Shit happened and we own it.
I doubt $ is the biggest motivation. He was l9 at google, right? That amount of money is basically "fuck you" money. I'm sure the bigger factors that played in are things that we have 0 insight into so we can only guess. Maybe mix of upper execs, leadership, culture, roadmap, etc. Maybe he believes he can steer lyft to the next level. Nobody on here will be able to tell you
Also, easier to ramp up a sdc network once you have the ride sharing network already working
What's L9 comp at Google like? Around $1-2 million?
