You did not mention the role?

Uber stock distribution is front-loaded?? Wtf?

Uber dkekck Jul 29, 2021

Recent change. No cliff either now

DoorDash MiaVenero Jul 29, 2021

Are the refreshers supposed to make up for the weak tail on the distribution?

Memorial Sloan _tiddy Jul 29, 2021

isn’t this a lateral move for you? you’d only be making more money if you can get promo within the first two years with how the stock is distributed.

Amazon NTeV66 OP Jul 29, 2021

Career wise yes, it's lateral. The recruiter mentioned that there are refreshers to help keep the income consistent with the later years, but no details on how much. I would consider it an upgrade in terms of comp due to Amazon's cliff, which I am very likely to experience next year if I stay.

Hey, did you check with the recruiter to see if you have yearly refresher + perf bonus separate to what they promise to give to maintain TC constant? I have a similar offer to yours

What’s the point of move if it’s lateral

Uber dhdheb Jul 29, 2021

^ this. He should continue to interview and get senior somewhere.

Discovery DiscoSDE2 Jul 29, 2021

If OPs Uber offer gave significantly more, like 350+ then I’d consider it but OPs first year Uber TC seems to be 206 given the numbers vs 280 right now at Amazon. I realize they’re coming up on a cliff but still. Seems like a weak offer from Uber Please correct me if I’m wrong.

Hi, congrats on your offer! Would you mind sharing your prep and the general difficulty of your onsite? Thank you in advance.

Keep interviewing for E5 level at other companies

Uber timorlane Jul 29, 2021

I would say take the offer. Uber is better to work at and even if you’re promoted in 2 years the next opportunity will get you there for sure

Discovery DiscoSDE2 Jul 29, 2021

Can you please put Uber TC in description? Your current TC seems higher than Uber first year no? 165 + 35 + 25/4 = 206? Seems you’re making more right now, so not sure why you’d move tbh. Especially for same title.

Amazon NTeV66 OP Jul 29, 2021

That's not the correct TC calculation. It's averaging 280k over 4 years, but first year TC is 165 + 345 * .35 + 25 = ~310k My bad if it wasn't clear, but the 35/30/20/15 is the vesting schedule.

Discovery DiscoSDE2 Jul 29, 2021

Aaah sorry my bad. Makes sense OP

What about annual bonus?

Amazon NTeV66 OP Jul 29, 2021

Target annual bonus is 23k
