uber RSU choice

For my offer base 157K, RSU 390K/4 years. Instead of using total 420K divided by 409a price, can I ask recruiter to update the offer as number of shares like 12000 ? Which way is better ? 1) total RSU value divided by 409a price. 2) exact number of shares . The concern for "total RSU value divided by 409a" is if you onboard after 2 months, and 409a price become larger, your total number of shares will be less.

Certainty is always better than uncertainty, all else equal. Do you know roughly what an Uber share is worth though?

Atleast 40.

Actual value or inflated value? Is the number of outstanding shares public knowledge?

Exact number.

I am in the same situation. Did you manage to get the offer with number of RSU units?
