Would you join Uber right now if....

Would you join Uber right now if: 1) you were not at a top tier tech company (let’s just call top tier fb, google, amazon, apple, Netflix, Airbnb, lyft, any other company you view as a top company) 2) offer was not a significant pay bump (<10% tc increase)

Moviepass for cars is always a good idea

I don’t really get this analogy at all. It’s not even remotely close, so I’ll just assume it’s just a running joke

So I’d get more money and higher tier company? Why the hell not?

Chegg esen OP Aug 17, 2019

I said not significantly more. <10% is hardly something that should move a needle at all. And the question is really is Uber still a high tier company given instability layoffs and financial reports

Lol lyft is not top

Chegg esen OP Aug 17, 2019

This isn’t about dick waving. It’s about if you were st some small medium company or tier 3 company would you still go to uber. Plenty of people would be choosing lyft over Uber right now. And as far as I can tell lyft pays top market.

This. Lyft never paid top tier, neither does Apple or amazon

I wouldn't switch job for less than 10% salary bump.

Chegg esen OP Aug 17, 2019

Even from some tier 4 company to Google?

Oracle pzd Aug 17, 2019

Even then. Do you plan to switch again within a year? Only then I'd say it's fine to switch solely for the reputation of the company. Otherwise, what's the reputation of the company worth to you?

Uber is funky nowadays. I’d wait till these lay-off rumors materialize or die.

Amazon HoXw11 Aug 17, 2019

Oh proportion of “Yes” is still not terribly lower...🥺

Uber itsdara Aug 17, 2019

10% is not enough buffer for Uber stock's downside. Not saying money is everything but you'll be pissed if your TC is less than your old job due to stock price.

I wouldn’t go anywhere for a 10% bump. Why should I take the risk?

Raytheon GroceryBag Aug 17, 2019

Curious what you’re thinking. I also got a job offer from Uber (non tech) and am curious. Although my TC increase would be more like 20%. I’m leaning towards accepting
