I got the final offer from Splunk (P4: 230k, 15%, 440k/3yrs, TC=411k), probably the highest offer for P4. They said I didn’t meet their bar for principal but P4-high. However my wife wants me to stay at Uber (5a, 450k, 5 yoe) since she sees the high TC and rising stock price soon after COVID . Recently my team is moving forward to integrate 3rd party tools so basically I’m doomed (frontend). I’m really tired of being a TC chaser these years. We also see Splunk is not doing well since last year, and CTO’s departure, etc. What do guys think? Should I accept this offer? Do people feel downgraded when moving from high tier companies to smaller companies? Or should I just stay at Uber and prepare for more interviews? I just finished a round of interview with 12 companies I wanted to go and got no good offers (Apple ICT4, Google L3, Databricks L4). Splunk is highest one I got so far. Also, if I’m at the Splunk P4-high, does it mean I have to promote soon otherwise I won’t get any increase next year? I feel bad to reject Splunk since the team and recruiter worked so hard to put this offer.
Google gave you L3? Wow!
Uber gives 2 yoe 5a now.
Lowest yoe I’ve seen is 4 for 5a. Most have more
Change teams at Uber?
google gave you L3??? With 5 yoe and 5a at uber? That is very surprising!
Why? They probably didn’t cross the L4+ bar
that's bs. they had the right creds to be L5.
Apple ict4 isn't bad. What was the TC?
300
did you tell apple about uber tc and splunk offer? they were unwilling to beat?
Added the poll but I want to know why people vote Uber
If you are not a TC chaser, maybe Google and Databricks are the best choice
Have you seen splunk stock and news recently?...
That’s what my wife worried
Stay at Uber. Wait for other better opportunities. I don’t see why you have to go with Splunk since you already know a lot of executives has left for the past year and I don’t see any advantage going there now by taking a pay cut. There are tons of places you can go :-)
Happy wife happy life. So you should know the answer 😂
Why do you leave if you are just prompted to L5, team and Uber value you? You won’t receive good level outside because you don’t really have L5 experience.
