Snap: up to 525k with max bonus Airbnb: year 1: 466k, year 2: 467k, year 3: 507k, ... About the companies: Airbnb seems to have a better WLB and easier promotion to L6 than Snap. Offer details: Base / RSU / Bonus / Refresh / sign on Snap: 205k / 290k (3 years) / 0k to 30k / no stacking refresh until year 4 / no sign on Airbnb: 220k / 163k (4 years) / 40k / 41k (added at the end of each year) / 40k I had asked Airbnb for 175k RSU but they came up short with 163k. Uber salary: 330k (expected to be 360k next year, with stock appreciation could go up to 400k since Uber is undervalued rn) ** I also need to restart my green card process if I move to another company **

Is wlb at snap that bad?
Not sure if it's bad, I just had a feeling that Airbnb will be better.
Maybe people who work at Snap can confirm or reject this
I'll have a staff-level interview with another company too. The range for that would be 650k but I didn't count it because it's very hard to pass the interviews for that one.
How is Uber undervalued?
It's a long story, but try to listen to the earning calls and read the relevant news: https://seekingalpha.com/news/3776464-uber-jumps-6-as-ubs-says-stock-could-double-on-mobility-deliver-businesses
It's not
Work for area that you are more interested in.
The area is very hard to predict. But both seemed interesting
Go to Snap for 6/12 months months and boomerang back. Uber L5 offers seem to be insane now a days.
I don't wanna restart my GC process again. I wanna stay in the new company for 2 years min
GC >>>> TC. jump after you'vve secured it. You will regret restarting it (unless you're canadian)
Either is good, but I think gig economy companies like Uber/Airbnb/Lyft/Doordash/Instacart have underlying political risk (when they crack down on employment laws etc)
That's a valid point, but snap has a lot of competition from FB and tiktok. Their stock was in a very bad shape befor the pandemic. Not sure which one is riskier
Yes, both are risky but there's few "safe bets" nowadays. Layoffs always around the corner imo
I agree with that Uber is undervalued. But with future stock application it seems still makes sense to switch company. TC wise I think they are similar considering vesting policies, and both company are valued on a higher end with same amount of risks. I feel you should choose a company that you like, if you only want to stay 2-3 years snap otherwise Airbnb. I’d recommend Airbnb as you seem like it more. Airbnb’s refresher is 1.5x if you get EE, and even higher if you get above.
Thanks! What is EE? What percentage of engineers are usually EE?
The perf rating. EE=Exceed expectation. Other than that we have Greatly Exceed expectation and the other higher one (I don’t know the name, redefined? never got that) I don’t have insights about the percentage, but I think we can assume usually it’s about 1/3 engs get that or above. It’s not that hard.
