I signed Sofi staff SDE offer and then got Uber l5a offer. Uber tc is lower than Sofi if counting RSU in four years (tc 381 vs 396k), Sofi gave base salary 30k higher than Uber. Uber gave more stock and since Uber vesting is 35%, 25%, 20%, 15% so the first year is 436k. I’ll accept Uber if I haven’t signed because I think it’s more tech. Sofi recruiter and hm really tried hard to get me the staff offer. Should I withdraw the offer? I feel really guilty if I need to withdraw. 5 yoe.
TC? btw less chances of layoffs in Uber as compared to Sofi
Really? I thought Uber has the layoff history so more unstable.
Tc added
Only 30k, what’s the difference?
i think the eng culture is better
Are you l6?
l5 at amazon
When did you sign your SoFi offer? I think they are currently at a hiring freeze due to the new CTO.
Mid to late June. I don’t know they’re at a hiring freeze.
Yup. Check out the sofi hiring freeze post. People got through all interviews and were told then that sofi is reevaluating headcount and to wait with no specific timeline.
Yoe?
Don’t feel guilty, our eng is trash. I wouldn’t come here if I had any other non startup offer.
Can you elaborate?
Please elaborate
I heard Sofi presents a good reputation on fintech world. If I am on your boat, the struggling fact would be “how much stock upside rebound it would be in next 4years”. If you don’t believe in rebound, then cash matters.
One thing I dislike is that Uber lowered its offer recently. It gave at least 130k more RSU for the same stock price just 3 weeks ago. also joined after June 30 is ineligible to get refresh next year. so im hesitant if it worth me to burn the bridge with Sofi, at least Sofi gave me their best offer.
Looks like you have had the answer, go for it. The title also sounds better.
How many YOE do u have?
Damn Uber is willing to increase the tc again… how much should I ask them? I asked for 682k rsu but now I’m not sure if it’s actually low..
Even if Uber matches the TC, the stock portion is very unstable, Uber is struggling to be profitable and stock rebound compared to sofi is also a big factor to consider. Getting sofi stocks at 6$ and it going to 10$ would give you a big bump in TC, compared to Uber. You need to do some math here :-). Apart from this monetary reason. Sofi is still having the startup residual culture, Uber is more mature and a big company, I choose sofi solely for this reason where you can make impact and grow with the company.
Keep us posted on what you ended up with 😀

Which degree is more worth it?
Uber has a good engineering reputation, not sure about Sofi.
I have the same concern. Sofi is the only senior offer I got at that time so I signed before the deadline.
I think Uber offer is better, also Uber has refreshers from what I’ve heard, so your comp should remain higher than the Sofi comp. Also, Uber’s reputation is better, which will make it easier to switch in the future.
