Help me choose the right offer, both L4 backend SWE. Honestly I don't know which company has a brighter future, but I have to leave my current company. Curious what the folks at lyft/instacart think. Lyft: 140 base + 50 RSU -> 190K TC Instacart: 150 base + 90 RSU -> 240K TC Lyft pros: - tech - I like the team - wlb - stock upside(?) cons: - low pay - benefit not as good as Instacart Instacart pros: - pay - benefit cons: - 1yr cliff - uncertain future - a lot of ruby Current TC: 200K #instacart #lyft #offer #tech
I am biased, but I think Instacart’s future is much more certain than Lyft’s.
May I ask why you are confident in instacart’s future?
IC is the category leader in a growing and stable industry. Also profitable and cash flow positive. Nothing is certain but I like that better than Lyft’s position at the moment
Which location?
Wow wtf! Lyft offer is super duper low
Lyft changed their salary bands after CEO changed
Also did you team match? And what team
What location is the IC offer, and is it for L4?
Loe?
Damn congrats on offers in this market Got phone interview coming up for Lyft and Instacart, mind if I dm?
Sure
O it seems like Im not able to dm you cuz you’re private — hid ur company details
Dude that’s is hella low for T4, it should be 230-250k negotiate more please
Hey man, I made it to team match but the manager passed on me! Is team matching at Lyft like Google where I could likely not be extended an offer despite passing my interview?
As of like 3 years ago yeah the team had to pick you up. No clue what it’s like nowadays

Should I move to Amazon?
You think lift has a certain future? As Waymo grows, less people will use their services. Here’s Waymo next expansion for the Bay Area and LA https://www.kron4.com/news/bay-area/waymo-announces-expansion-plans-for-service-in-peninsula/ LA is US second largest metro area. With Uber -Waymo partnership. I think Lyft has no future. Maybe, I’m wrong and they get a partnership with ZooX ( Amazon back) and become successful!
Thanks for the insight. But lyft’s financial performance was strong for the past year.
Are you going to work at Lyft in the past or near the future? Let’s assume it’s the future for now. You sign accept offer letter it will include RSU! That you likely can’t cash out for year. In the meantime, Waymo is growing, ZooX will have launched like in BayArea. Assuming Uber and Lyft, are the same. 25% of their revenue comes from 5 cities!!! What happens to those stock options when Waymo knocks out two of those cities in a year? https://slate.com/business/2019/04/uber-ipo-nyc-london-risks.html Note* I could be wrong and Lyft could be next google or Tesla. But make your decision on information you have today!
