Currently an SDE II at Amazon with ~3YOE. Deciding between staying at Amazon or Dropbox/Uber. Any input appreciated. Thanks! Amazon L5: ~$200K (140 salary/20 RSUs currently at $3k each) Dropbox IC2: $249K (165/270/16) Uber L4: $244K (150/285/23) Dropbox also has refreshers, which look to be about 20% of the initial stock grant per year, bringing total to $249 + (20% of 270) = ~$300K if all goes well. My biggest concern with both companies is their business outlook/career growth potential. Teams seem great. Uber's tech work looks more interesting, but it's hard to tell.
Location? Amazon L5 can go till 300 in Bay Area
Seattle
The people I interviewed with at Dropbox seemed pretty happy, +1
Hi. Can you share your experience with Uber interviews?
Is your Uber offer negotiable?
Go for Dropbox, I recently got an offer for IC3 and they are amazing people with great wlb based on what i heard from my friends at Dbx. Also their pay gets really better than Amzn from ic3 onwards. I was sde2 at amzon with TC 230k and my new offer at dbx ic3 is 350k without joining cash
I was at Uber, would avoid for near term. They are moving lot of work to India so projects are unreliable.
I don't understand why are people even interviewing with Uber
We pay quite well, have smart talent here. And no there won't be layoffs even if 2nd wave come.
Lol, even a 5 year old won't believe that. 2nd wave already around the corner. On what basis do u say Uber will not have a layoff ? Uber can always afford to move all jobs to India and eliminate all US dev operations if shit hits the fan.
