Got offers from these 3(SWE ): Coinbase IC5: 180 base 175 annual refresher Bonus 10%, fully remote , TC 370K Uber 5a: No official number yet, should be similar to other l5a offers, expect 410k ro 430k TC in SF Microsoft: L64. Initial tc 310k but recruiter is keen to upgrade to get closer to other offer. Need relocate to Seattle I am still waiting for Google and Snapchat, as of now don't count them in. Coinbase just IPOed and with their yearly grant policy, not much upside for stock, but fully remote is very attractive. I live in a tier 2 city and prefer not relocate if possible(but still open to) Uber potentially should have much higher TC however would require relocate to SF. Current TC: 210K yoe: 10+
Coinbase should pay you in $BTC
They do if you want them to
The full remote makes this an easy choice. Do they adjust based on where you live?
Yes, tier 1 is 200k base, tier 2 180k, equity same across US
Why can’t you move to Tier 1 for 1-2 months, then move back to where you want after? It’s not like they will cut your salary, right?
Microsoft has 🥜 refreshers. I wouldn’t even consider it in the equation. Coinbase seems to be the best option in terms of remote and upside.
Thanks. I am just bothered by their annual rsu policy
Actually not a big deal, just join another company in 4 years after initial grant is done.
coinbase didnt ipo did they? its a spac?
They went ipo through direct listing
direct listings are not ipo's but yeah i checked, you're right
MSFT and move to remote
Msft seems not too interested in remote
Congrats OP. Could you share your on-site interview experience with Uber?
Standard interview, 2 medium level code questions, 1 system design, 1 bar raiser which goes deep into a project you worked on. And 1 behavior interview
Thank you. For my interviews bar raised round is marked as architecture round, was that the case for you also? Did you have one coding round with two problems or two rounds with one problem each?
Op DO NOT pick msft.
@iiop Why?
What role is this for? My friend at Coinbase likes remote but it’s stressful, she works early mornings to accommodate EST and late nights with Dublin and now India. It’s ridiculous. Uber is mostly SF based so easier to manage time zone wise, culture is meh (as of 3 months ago) but it’s improving based on anecdotes. Msft is msft
Uber culture has nosedived since Jan 1. And they are super gung-ho on return to work. No opportunity for remote unless Dara says you can.
It is senior software engineer role for all three
What is coinbase yearly refresh ?
175k every year minimum, high performers can get up to 2x
YOE? I’m guessing at L5 at Amazon? You sir are my inspiration 🖖
Yeah I am L5 who got a NI which I think is highly unfair
Well, you clearly needed that motivation to knock it outta the park with your interviews may be :) congratulations. If you don’t mind me asking, YOE and time at Amazon?
