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.

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)
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.
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.
