Got offers from two companies, Location: SF/Menlo Park Facebook E5: TC - 435k(205k base/700kRSU/100k signon/15% year bonus) Uber L5a: TC - 410k(200k base/700kRSU/30k signon/27500 yearly bonus) Not really like Uber but I think UberEat have some potential. Is this a good time to join Uber? (When facebook first IPOed, it also went down to $18/share). Will the food delivery succeed and is uber the one who dominate this industry? Thoughts? TC: 300k yoe: 5 #facebook #ubereats
Care to share your TC breakdown?
Can I ask what’s your specialization

the difference is, can uber scale? i’m bearish. FB felt much more feasible because there were less “physical” variable costs, whereas Uber needs more drivers/deliverers as they scale. ofc there’s the rabbithole of autonomous vehicles, but not an expert so won’t speculate there.
Uber doesnt hv zero marginal costs like a tech company

Congrats! Its a huge bump from Linkedin
serious question: What happens if AB 5 passes? Have uber's recent changes allowed them to bypass this?
Both are better than shitty LinkedIn's dead engineering culture. Better to work and build your skills early in your career rather than eat free food and rest & vest based on msft stock appreciation.
Can u elaborate dead eng culture? How come LinkedIn pays so well if things are dead internally.
As written above, LinkedIn is milking msft. Without msft, LinkedIn's tc would have gone down the drain. Moreover LinkedIn's refreshers are worst among fb/g etc.
Op, can I ask how long does it take from the onsite to the hire decision?
Uber”s stock based compensation will be the biggest bucket to cut in the path to profitability. Also doordash is giving uber eats a hard time - ex uber. My opinion would be different if you got 5b. Uber just hired too many ppl, has inconsistent levelling across orgs. Also engg structure is also an experiment. Management team is itself learning what kind of engineers they need to run this kind of a business. They can replace half the cost by moving to aws/gcp.
does uber have their own cloud solution?
Yes Uber have our own infra.
