Uber or Facebook, need help to make a decision.

TC: 203K YOE: 1.8(20 months) Was a TT this year so I have 97 stocks ready to vest until July 2021. Location: Seattle FB offer: 160k base 320k stocks 50k joining bonus First-year compensation will be 313.5 k if I just meet expectations. Uber offer: 175k base 345k stocks 50k joining bonus over 2 years First and second-year compensation will be 303k if I meet expectations. Both have similar performance-based bonuses. And Seattle is the location for both. I will be changing jobs in July so probably Uber stock will be stable enough and I will get RSUs based on the price on 15th July. Initial offers were lower from both, this is the 2nd offer.

Both terrible companies ran by slumbags. Run

Didn’t GM build machinery for Nazi’s at one point, I am not saying FB and Uber are perfect, but I don’t think even they can ever top that.

Now. now,.. go easy on Cruise.

I would choose Fb

What level is that Uber offer? That base seems too high for L4..

Amazon () { :; }; OP May 15, 2019

It’s for an L4, they told me it’s the best they can do for this level

Apple xndlr May 15, 2019

That base is 20k more than the highest I have seen..

Great TC offers

Facebook. Uber stock is bullshit.

Amazon () { :; }; OP May 15, 2019

Oh I thought they were like uber for transportation

What level is the FB offer for? If that’s for E4 as I assume it is (given your YOE) I think that’s a top of the band offer

Amazon () { :; }; OP May 15, 2019

Yup E4

Google rahrahgoesthedino May 15, 2019

Oh cool! What were the initial numbers if you don’t mind me asking?

Facebook tinq May 15, 2019

RSU can go a bit higher ($360k at FB - but you will need competing offer). Base is pretty close to max. Actually, tell the recruiter you will join right away if they offer $400k RSU, otherwise you will need to go to your coming onsite (Google, Airbnb and make some shit up).

Amazon () { :; }; OP May 15, 2019

I have already done one round of negotiations with both, how can I communicate this to the recruiter without sounding like an asshole

eBay dtbnvz May 16, 2019

What were their original offers?

LeanTaaS ♥️ data May 16, 2019

Less than 2 years experience and $300k in TC. Either OP is James Bond or I am working for the wrong company.

Jesus man, I’m the exact same YoE but already have a 10% lower current TC and have not looked at other companies at all. Time to LC I guess

Uber kshwjfjf May 16, 2019

10% is very little
