I need to pick one of these offers:

Meta E5: average 497k/year without refresher and 561k/year with 170k refresher (seems to be the new E5 target) (bay area)

Snap L5: 547k/year, no refresher (Seattle and bay area the same)

Uber L5a: average 483k/year without refresher and 538k/year assuming 140k refresher (seattle and bay area the same)
Front loaded: 592/542/422/377k (35/30/20/15%)

Meta:
Pros: profitable, more stable,
Cons: 4-year cliff can happen, less compensation for Seattle (if I decide to relocate there)

Snap:
Pros: compensation is higher and there’s no cliff
Cons: L5 at Snap seems having higher expectation than L5a and E5, harder path to promotion

Uber:
Pros: like the team, better wlb?
Cons: slightly less compensation, can have 4/year cliff

Wlb is one element that’s a bit mystery to me but I prefer growth over wlb anyway. The other factors I’m considering are:

1. Stock of all these companies have dropped so much but which one has more upside or is a safer bet?

2. Promotion path seems easier at Meta and Uber, is that correct?

3. I am more interested in companies that reward hard working employees.

I appreciate if you leave a comment and explain why you would choose one offer over the others.

    Also OP, just a recommendation, in the future you shouldn’t tag companies when posting an offer comparison.

    Tagging individual companies will surface your post to those members specifically (through alerts / post sorting) which will heavily bias your results (likely towards the company with the most employees)

    Uber is an obvious out to me unless you loved the team / manager or something

    Monster offers, congrats! I'd probably prioritize job security right now, so meta > snap > Uber

  • I just accepted L4 snap offer, but worried about stock volatility. I think it has a higher downside, but possibly higher upside comparing to Meta.

    If I were you, I would easily choose Meta. On the other hand, not sure about this but I heard Snap L5>Meta or Google L5. If it is the case maybe it would be easier to get L6 from one of the other companies in a year two?

    I wouldnt consider Uber at all.

      I’ve seen ppl getting to 5b in 1.5 years, usually it’s around 2 years if given right scope. It takes much longer in Snap for sure.

      Between Uber and Snap, you need to figure out what are you passionate about, transportation business is hard and challenging, but also fulfilling as it’s contributing to the society positively. I’m biased because I’m tired of the online ads business, I’ve worked long enough in Snap and Google pushing stupid metrics.

      Thanks for the insight. I like Uber team and manager and that’s the main thing keeping Uber in race. How about Meta and Snap, which one would you pick considering that they have different size, stability, growth, etc.?
