Would you join Lyft now?

Love the team (ML org), would go from Amazon L4 to Lyft T4 and TC would go up nearly 100k (168k -> 270k). Stock jumped up today. Hate my team at Amazon as there is no opportunity to grow. Promo would happen in Q3 at the earliest and even that is up in the air.

Join lyft but only if you have good ranking at amazon. Returning to amazon is not so difficult only requires one manager interview from what Ive heard

Join of course. Every two months in Lyft equals three months at Amazon in the team you hate. Just keep interviewing around. You can even join Amazon back on higher salary later.

Can you clarify what you mean by "every two months in Lyft equals three months at Amazon"?

I think they mean in terms of what your TC increase would be at Lyft

How scared are you of having visa issues? That's what's driving the vote here. For me, it's a no brainer jump. Even with lower TC difference, just career and wlb is enough

Visa issues aren't a concern. Thanks for your input

My friend from Amazon joined Lyft 2 months back, and now he returned back to Amazon. Not just job security, he hated the work here. The real question is how much do you hate Amazon.

Do you like it at Lyft? I'm considering joining in July and any insight would be helpful

Lyft erlL581 May 9, 2020

No. Hell no. I am interviewing for Amazon. Hopefully folks like you leaving will create space for me. Lyft is not a company anymore. It’s like Groupon
