I recently moved to SF. How do I go about hiring ex Uber SWE for my startup? 120k-140k TC, 0.05% - 0.6% equity.
What stage is your startup?
Pre-seed, 775k raised, May 2019 product launch.
Pre seed and 0.05% equity .... Wow.
More $$$ Think 200k base + 1% equity minimum to get some noise.
Try to tailgate into the Uber office and hand out business cards.
Need a mobile eng?
Yep! DM and we can talk more?
I’m another laid off Uber eng. I’ve been noticing that it is challenging for startups to match the TC + refreshers + perks + WLB we might get at FAANG. Your best bet is to push technical freedoms, great culture, a fun problem to solve, and your growth story. Those are things that big companies frequently can’t offer.
I agree with you on this.
Tell them that Uber was the sinking Titanic and that you are the raft that's gonna save their day.
What if they are named Jack though?
... why are you naming yourself Koala man. I AM THE koala....
