Hi all, Need help from my fellow blinders! Posting this on behalf of a friend. He recently got offers for Uber L5A and Google L5. YOE: 6 UBER TC: Base: 73.1 L Performance bonus: 14 LPA Sign on bonus: 7 L Stocks: 222k USD over 4 years (with 25% vesting each year) First year TC: ~1.4 Cr Second year TC: ~1.33 Cr (Same for rest of the years due to equal vesting) GOOGLE TC: Base: 62 L Performance bonus: 9.3 LPA Stocks: 220k USD over 4 years (front loaded with standard vesting schedule of 38% in first year, 32%, 20%, 10%) First year TC: ~1.4 Cr Second year: ~1.30 Cr and will decrease further based on vesting schedule Compensation of Uber looks lucrative but he is confused because of Google’s brand value. Is it worth the difference in pay? How about other factors like work life balance, refreshers, learning, growth/promotion opportunities at these two companies? #uber #google #l5 #googleoffer #uberoffer #tech #salary #salariescomparison #engineering #amazon
What do you do with so much money in India?
Pay insane taxes
Do you know taxes in India?
Pretty good offers, you can assume 55-60K in refreshers for G. Promotion budgets to L6 and above have taken a hit recently and are harder than before, will take at least 3 years to get to L6. G is also seeing smaller increases in base salary for standard rating which is received by more than 70% population.
Thanks for the information :)
It's hard to get these levels with 6 Yoe . Where is he working now and current TC?
The current offer for Uber is lowballed. But this is because the stock price of Uber has almost doubled in last 6 months. Anyone joined with a stock price near 40 have a TC of around 2cr. Base, bonus seems to be in line, but there is a scope of negotiation for stocks
I have close friends working in Google. I think the culture is emerging to be the same - driven by Amazonian leadership. But Uber has been generous in refreshers, bonus and annual increment. Google has played the hard way in increments this year - with majority getting lesser than the inflation
How are refreshers at Uber?
Unrelated but what’s the prep looks like for L5 roles or similar at Google ?
great offer. what does it take to get L5 at Google/Uber with 6YOE ? was OP senior before ? can u share prep pointers ?
Yes OP, please share this
Is Uber base really that high for l5a now or this is just a one off datapoint. There offered 59 to me at similar yoe 1 year back. Had to decline offer
Google Stocks are worthier than uber. Just check stock price changes in past 3-4 year. Uber stock might have peaked. Also, Google L5 can lead you to better places in future than Uber L5. Also check this levels.fyi info.
What's L in dollar figures in above chart? How's this chart helpful here?

What happens when most of your team is Indian?
Both are low balled
What is the right range for these levels as per you?
In 2021/22, highest L5 offer was 1.8cr for first year. 1.4cr is very reasonable offer
