Need your help in figuring out what's best for my career. I want to choose something by which I can have max street cred in the near future so it's easier to switch roles make more money. I have 5.5 years of experience, working as a Team Lead for last 1 year. Mostly worked in Python internal backend applications for my company with less than 100 users I currently have an offer from Uber L4 position for a team that directly works with the app - public facing APIs - Millions of QPS(Queries per second) I have never worked on an application of this scale so work wise I really like this opportunity. although they are underpaying me Other offer is from Google L5 position, the recruiter told me they don't have any openings in any Google services (public facing, high throughput...). The Team match opportunities I got was only for EngProd or Core Services and Tools. I doubt the open roles at Google will give me a good enough opportunity to grow as compared to Uber. What are your suggestions? I feel getting into Google is super tough and I was lucky to clear the rounds and may not get this chance again and I could switch teams in 1 year (Not sure how feasible that would be) On the other hand Uber I know I'll grow much more but I'll lose the Google brand name and maybe the WLB that comes with it?
This is a tough situation to be in, but i would assume Google openings would come up internally and it would be easier to shift. So I would go for Google, maynot be the right decision for everyone though.
Google is the correct option assuming that I can eventually shift to a better team right? Is there any other reason?
Other simple reasons include higher level, salary, which may have been obvious
Google pls
Is this a troll post? And you are seriously considering Uber l4 over google l5?
So am i that stupid? But the team/work at Google is not as good compared to uber... Atleast from a skillet pov. Or is L5 at Google that big of a deal?
Nope, this responder doesn't know shit.. Uber gives amazing opportunities compared to many other top companies out there. Still I would go for Google here
