I'm going to join Splunk as SDE in two days. I already sign the offer a few weeks back and also resigned at my current place. I'm currently with VMware. I interviewed for Uber as SDE few weeks back. My recruiter didn't contact me until today. Now she said they are going to extend an offer. I don't have numbers yet. I will update the post once I get it. I'm sure about joining Uber. I'm currently on visa. Uber offer will take at least 2-3 weeks to finalize. Negotiation, visa file, background check etc. I don't want to join on receipt so technically I won't be able to join until February '19 What do you suggest in this case? Offered TC: $245K.
Your title and description differ significantly.
Depends if you ever want to go back to Splunk
Error: Mismatch detected in title and description. Error: Offered TC not found. Please try again or GTFO
Would they ok for you to join on receipt? Ask them if they have a contingency plan if things don’t work out for you. If you don’t want to risk all the headache stuff then just join Splunk and leave when Uber’s paperwork is done. By then you’ll have 4-5 months of experiences and salary so not bad
Yoe!
Is your visa already approved for Splunk ?
Yes. My joining date is within two days. They started the process before premium processing stopped.
I would join Splunk, put my paper once uber H1b is approved then join uber happily
Gotcha. Splunk might not hire me in the future, but also I won't get another chance to join Uber.
Yes please join Splunk it’s a great company. If you still feel after 6 months that Uber is good and your visa is approved then go 4 it
Has ur h1 got approved for splunk ? if no, why not join uber with receipt itself? Hypothetically, even if ur h1 gets rejected when u r in uber, wouldn’t uber handle it. Wats not worth checking with a attorney for a small fee ?
Dude if the H1B gets rejected while working at Uber then the only way is highway -> sent back home
I already have H-1b approved with Splunk. My first is coming Monday. Also, as @Tucks said joining on receipt is quite risky. I also have wife to take care. If rejected, we both have to leave.
Uber != Facebook
Corrected. May be it's Friday affect. What would you suggest?
