Thank you Uber recruiter.

Thank you Uber recruiter. You fucking told me 2 years back that $48.77 was just the beginning for the stock price and if I thought all the growth was "baked into" it then I shouldn't join. Sky was the limit. Bonus? Sky was the limit. "For someone with your level and experience the average bonus paid out was very close to 6 figures.. you just had to exceed expectations (should be easy I thought based on my track record)". Growth/Promo - Sky was the limit. Why don't you join us with a below average base and look at all the other immeasurable part of the TC?? So I did. Well fast forward to today I have lost 40% of my equity value. My bonus last year was <$10K So THIS time when I heard recruiters give me the same pitch about "your level's average at G/Lyft/Aapl is a little low but your bonus potential and equity potential is unlimited" I told those guys to take a hike. Got 2 revised offers which actually look a world apart from what was offered in the beginning. Fuck you Uber recruiter.

Never believe a recruiter for anything that isn't written down.

Not all recruiters fault. Like all the wall st people back 4 years ago, they thought the company was going to grow fast too.

Uber coffeemugs OP Aug 27, 2019

It was my fault. To not understand the importance of a strong base.

What’s a “strong base” for a dev with 10yoe? (Bay Area)

Didn’t they offer shit load of RSUs? Even though stock is drown, I am assuming you are still making a lot ...

Google rauo Aug 27, 2019

2yrs ago they didn't. I had offer from G and U, both were very similar.

Salesforce ldkIKnfll Aug 28, 2019

Just share the offers dawg!!

How did you negotiate differently this time around?

Recruiters are responsible for a lot of shit but not for stock market variations

As I always say, you can trust a car salesperson but never a recruiter.

Oracle aham Aug 27, 2019

You shouldn't trust the car salesperson too in general don't trust anyone in sales or marketing

In general dont trust someone who has conflict of interest including some of your doctors.
