Uber offer - Senior Swe (5A) Year 1 TC - 400k [190 + 177 + 33] Typical SWE role, decent team (data + full stack) Google offer - L5 TPgM Year 1 TC - 374k [188 base + 105 RSU + 30 Perf + 51 joining] A rather unique role (PgM + Product + Ops Analytics + SWE) RSU - 33% (year 1 105k) + 33% + 22% + 12% The Google role is very high visibility and has strong $ impact potential for the org. WLB seems great. Uber role is typical for Senior SWE at Uber (nothing that stands out about the role) Current AWS role is really good (amazing team, good WLB, great support network) but I know I will hate my life if I am working on the same systems a year down the line. Getting promoted to SWE3 at AWS will take >3 years (given we have folks with 5+ years TT ratings still at SWE2). Concerns I have: 1. Moving away from SWE role (Google) 2. Leaving Amazon in <1 year (Looks bad on resume?) 3. Aws SWE3 promotion will take for ever if I stay with AWS 4. No good/bad feel about the Uber offer (Only excitement being the higher level and higher $) PS: I genuinely like Product Management / Program Management. I am a good engineer, but I don't like being "just an engineer". I'm pretty sure I can land a SWE offer if I end up not liking the PgM role. Current TC (AWS) 240K Seattle Masters + 2 years tech consulting (swe equivalent) + 0.5 Years at AWS SWE2
Less than 1 year Software engineering experience, and you got Uber senior offer?
Is your technical PgM tc typical? Seems like that kind of tc is really competitive with SWE offers at that level
I was able to negotiate a lot. Had a very good interview feedback + team really pushed for getting me onboard
33% + 33% + 22% + 12%
Confirmed with the recruiter than the 1st refresher will be coming 2022 eoy
Aah that's a good catch. Let me bug the recruiter a bit on this!
Take Uber . They changed their stock grant and removed 1 year cliff
This *does* seem to be true as a majority rule but is definitely not universally the case. I work with tpgms here and there who are doing work that could be done in swe, tpgm, or pm ladders. OP's role sounds more like one of these. (This does beg the question of why not just get the SWE or PM title in these cases. I frankly don't have a great explanation: maybe it boils down to headcount or other administrative quirks, or just a lack of desire to bother with the ladder switch?)
What did you end up taking OP?
