Uber SWE II Comp
I graduated ~12 months ago, but have 2.5 YOE at a startup in my home country. This is my uber offer, I have onsites coming up for other companies, but this will explode before I have a chance to do them. My recruiter says it's high for the range, do I take it? Or keep interviewing and hope for something better? I feel good about the team, but I also feel great about some of the other teams I'm talking to. This is for Seattle. 144k Base 289k RSU's (4 year vest, linear monthly after 1 year cliff) 15k Cash bonus [Unknown] Stock bonus 38k Signing bonus So TC is ~$240k over 4 years (ex stock bonus)
besides, that only hurts IF you decide to reneg and IF you decide to leave and can't find another job. both unlikely
135 base 50 stock 20 bonus 50 refresh is starting L4
The "exploding" part is just a negotiation trick. You have as much time as you want
Congratulations OP! Can you share your interview experience with Uber?
Feel free to DM me, but it was a bit non-standard as I was I interviewing from my home country, not from the US
240 for 3 YoE is great
take the offer and reneg if something much much better comes in. but I doubt you'll get something much stronger than this
I assume that will blacklist me from ever applying again?
yeah it probably will but there are plenty of companies in Seattle that'll likely pick you up if you decide to leave Uber
