Got a senior 5a offer with 180k+ base and 16k+ shares (worth $650k+ if $40 a share). Hr told me that base and equity does not have much upside, but maybe can throw in some sign on bonus. Question 1: is it true that equity can’t go up much? Is it true that recently Uber has changed and don’t negotiate too much, don’t compete with google/fb etc? hr also said that equity grant is tied to level, once level is decided equity is determined. Question 2: the offer does not have signon bonus but hr hinted that it’s the most negotiable. Especially if first year pay at Uber is less than the pay at my current company. If I stay at current company I expect 270k annual pay (base + bonus + vested stock). If I go to Uber my first year pay is 180k+, since any annual bonus or stock vesting will be after one year. If I ask for 90k sign on bonus, will it sound very unreasonable? I’ve seen 100K+ sign on bonus before (from fb or amazon), but not sure what’s the usual range at Uber. my friends at Uber say Uber only started to offer sign on bonus recently, so it’s hard to find what is a good range. Thanks for the help!
Isn’t it much higher than your Msft pay?
YOE? Are you 63 at Microsoft?
This offer is super awesome for 5a. How many YOE ? I am a 5a at Uber (got promoted 1.5 yrs ago) and I have way less than 16k RSUs including vested. Just take the damn offer.
That’s a good offer, I’d take it
This is a good offer. Take it.
Seems solid, yoe?
sorry, don't get the math of your offer. how do you have $650k tc with that low of base and RSUs? how much annual bonus and refresher are you getting?
650k tc was never mentioned?
That's the grant not TC
When I got an offer from Uber they would not negotiate on salary. They only negotiated on RSUs
Said no to me when I asked for negotiation
Uber is terrible. I tried to negotiate to even get close to being competitive. They wouldn’t budge and told me it was “unfair” with some socialistic BS answer. My answer: Byyyyee I suggest you find another company to get an offer from.
No they don’t. They said they don’t negotiate and the offer was final. I walked away. Fucking troll.
We don't hire MS ppl generally.
