Google 140/260/30, 15% bonus, 225 tc

Uber 154 base + 9.6k shares, 13.5k bonus, 265 tc assuming 40/share

How can I negotiate from here? Both are L4. I read on here that google only matches FB and Uber so I didn’t bother interviewing with OCI, Twitter, etc. That might’ve been a big mistake.

5.5 yoe, current tc is 150 at a startup.

    If you want to make real money join Uber. Uber stock could be worth 5X by 2025 or even more in the following years.
    Google is a fantastic company but it’s stock is already at $1,200, it will definitely continue growing but not as fast as Uber’s stock in the following 5-10 years.

  • From my experience, paper money is valued at least 33% lesser. I.e. in this case, Uber has to match you by paying 1.5x of what Google does

      Iejdy, not all paper money is same. Most are startups who have huge risk and are far from liquidity. Uber’s IPO is targeted next year, and it’s already big and proven. Not much risk there.

      There’s very little risk at this point. We’re approximately 1 year and 4 months away from IPO.

      OP
      Even the google recruiter told me they usually match 80% of Uber’s RSU value. Then he backtracked on that after talking to the compensation committee.

      1p92, that would be for early/medium stage startups which are very risky. Uber doesn’t have that much risk at this point. It has billions of dollars of net revenue (after taking out payments to drivers, promotions, driver incentives etc). It’s already proven itself. And IPO target is second half of 2019 which is just a year away.

      80% match sounds good to me.

    Jesus that's a strong L4 Uber offer. I think it's at or near the cap for it too.
