Have a max L5a offer from Uber on the table. I'm really excited about the team I'd be joining and the work I would be doing. Everything in my gut says take it, but Google has always been my dream. My recruiter at Google has said everything is positive and they are moving as fast as they can for team matching and HC. I don't expect a Google offer to match the paper money offer from Uber, but not having to wait for IPO is a plus. The easy answer is say, "just wait for the Google offer before making a decision!" The Uber recruiter has expressed there is some urgency in filling this position, and I'm not confident I can stretch it long enough... What should I do? I won't share TC of offer, but trust it is top of band. YOE: 10
You might regret if you go with your gut. You will definitely regret if you don’t go with your gut.
TC or GTFO
Of course recruiter tells you there's urgency, they want to push you to make a decision, don't fall in that trap. Politely ask for more time and wait for google offer
TC or GTFO
Why not share TC, you are breaking blind rules
If you want something from the community then also give back something. So TC or GTFO.
Was in the same boat. Glad I waited for my G offer! Better than U and with real money :) good luck!
Hmm, one company makes $20B per year and the other runs at -20% margin and will never make money.
I was in a similar situation for a higher level than 5a and Googles offer was higher than Uber. And Google was able to send me an offer 5 days after onsite. Make sure you get that offer before making a decision.

Ask Uber for more time. Ask to talk to the hm so you can understand the hiring pressure and ask them directly for more time. My Uber recruiter lied to me about the hiring pressure initially saying I have at max a week and in the end I had over a month to decide. They also lied to me about the hm being the reason for the hiring pressure, so unless you’ve talked directly to the hm and they told you the same thing, I’d push back and try to get more info.
