    Uber = state school , google = Ivy League. Both are good but one clearly has the name recognition. Ex. You can be a history major at Berkeley and get a computer science job. Try that with a San Jose state history degree.

      Google = Harvard? Lol.

      At least the pretension exists.

      @Google you really live in a bubble. Just read any news related to Amazon when they enter new industry. Everyone in that industry is scared and their stock tumbles right away. Never seen such reaction to Google's entry anytime. Google is usually found copying and giving up few years later.

      Hardly "Harvard" 😂🤣

      lol, don't be mad, just accept the truth. People want to go from first tier companies to Uber because they fantasize being millionaires after the IPO, nobody goes there for the projects, it's just a car ride app ffs.
      Don't get me wrong, I almost did that too (who doesn't want to be a millionaire, right?) but ended up rejecting the offer because the manager who did the behavioral interview with me made it pretty clear how fucked up the backstabbing culture was there (those were Kalanick times).

      I don't hate anyone dude, I hope you succeed, really. But it's not a first tier company, sorry.

    Having had offers at both, it really depends on what you're after. On a average the G brand name can't lose. If you're early in your career G can establish you but you can move a lot faster at U. No harm in G for 2 years and finding the next U. The work is on average a lot more interesting at U

    Google looks better on resume but I'm picking Uber over it bc more growth potential, higher TC, and I get more ownership.

      I still don't get why people believe there's less ownership here. I've actually seen people complaining about the opposite. How exactly do you think you'll have more ownership at Uber than at Google?

      Misworded. I meant higher impact, which is generally just true the smaller the company. I'll be in ATG which is already a smaller part of Uber and I get to work on problems I know I find cool on a project I care about.
