I have offer for management role from Lyft and Dropbox. The TC is similar around 500K. Dropbox Pro: great people, good team, wlb, food and may be better positioned in COVID times Con: Not as hot as lyft Lyft Pro: Hot company, better tech stack, Higher upside once COVID is contained Con: Less stable in current times (on Visa), Culture seemed cut-throat and less friendly in my limited interaction Any advice?
Neither Try more to get better options
what level and yoe? could you make it a poll?
Lyft because when you tell non tech people where you work they’ll think it’s cooler and you’ll have more clout and prestige. Real talk.
Dropbox
Food ? It doesn't matter when we are all wfh
Dropbox
Depends on how your stocks are structured at lyft. This could be a low point before things turn around. What is your risk tolerance? Are you able to handle constant change and a demanding role with uncertainty?
Its true, there is very little upside for new hires. You get a fixed dollar amount each year instead of a fixed number of shares. The total value might fluctuate within the year, but it will reset annually. So if we go 10x, the next year you will get 1/10 as many shares as your first year.
And if it goes down?
I would definitely not describe lyft culture as cut throat.
