Edit: For people looking for prep guide, stay tuned. Will share as soon as i can.

Hi,
I have the following offers in hand.
Need help in comparing the following aspects
1. WLB
2. Tech problems/challenges
3. Compensation

I'm currently inclined towards zeta. Not interested in amazon after hearing bad stories (from friends working there and from blind). Not so much inclined towards uber as not so sure work opportunities (i think, in zeta, I'll be able to play a bigger role and create more impact).
As far as wlb goes, so far uber and zeta seems to be at the same level (still let me know your views)

yoe : 9.5 yoe
current TC : 80 L (including stocks) (base 46, perf 6.5, rest stocks)



Amazon:
SDE 3
TC: 1.05 CR
Base: 55
JB first year: 45 L
Stocks first year: 5 L
Amazon says they can match to other offers by working on the bonus part

Uber :
L5a
TC: 1.08 CR
Base: 60
Per bonus: 12
JB first year: 5 L
Stocks first year: 31 L

Zeta
Principal Engineer I
TC: 1.15 CR
Base: 98 L
JB first year: 10 L
Stocks first year: 6.5 L

      Ohh you'll see why they are called architects once you join. At L5a IC you will be expected to do everything from pitching the idea, lobbying with stakeholders, mentoring l3,l4 to get it implemented, coordinating with the PM and also the rollout. Uber is a very free for all, earn your own promo kind of a place.

     Dreadful,
    Amazon sde3 is lot different role than Uber L5a. Make sure you speak to folks in both roles and decide which one you will be interested in.

    If I was you, i would have gone with Zeta.
    Reason being Zeta Base is good and IPO potential.

    Uber is good and all, but the performance bonus is not something that I count in TC.

    Amazon, well, letโ€™s not talk about it :P

    • True USP of Uber is its unbeatable packages in India but in your case it is almost similar . And Uber currently is in muddy state. And hiring surge is due to US attrition mainly and Uber is still not a profitable company . Ask for more TC from Uber I would say . If not Zeta makes more sense.

    • And if WLB is priority try Microsoft , Salesforce , Adobe, Atlassian . Package might go a bit down but good WLB and benefits

    I would say Zeta. For me uber wlb is not good, and most technically challenging work is done in U.S

    Also 1cr base is awesome, you can buy whatever companies stock you want and not get stuck with uber underperforming stock.

      Both cash and stocks are taxed equally at the time of grant.

      If you invest your cash in equity, same rules for long term capital gains apply for both.
