I currently have two offers, one from a startup that just got acquired by Uber, I really like this company but the salary is about $20k lower than my other offer.
I see that compared to Uber salaries on level.fyi and glassdoor, this offer is much lower, and I'm torn in between and need help. Do y'all think that when the merger/acquisition is completed, there will be salary adjustment for software engineers at the startup that got acquired? I'll be fine to wait for 6 months on the lower salary, if I know that there will salary adjustment.
Edit: Some more info:
Offer 1 - Very successful healthcare startup in NYC. They were chosen "the most innovative health care startup" in 2020 in some of these (maybe meaningless) rankings. $150k + equity
Offer 2 - Startup that got acquired by Uber a few weeks ago. $132k + 10% performance bonus + "whatever Uber adds for restricted stocks over 4 years". They said they know it's gonna happen, but they don't know how much it's going to be, it's in the works and will be determined over the next month or two for everyone in the company.
Is there a “normalized” amount of restricted stocks that Uber gives to its software engineers?

One thing worth noting, if you get adjusted post acquisition, it’ll probably be base+bonus only. I wouldn’t expect them to change your initial hire grant, although over a few years, assuming you get to stay that long, that will start to balance out through the refresher process. That last part can be a big “if”.
Made my decision harder to make... is there a “normalized” amount of restricted stocks that Uber gives to its software engineers?
