I received an offer from Uber $175000 base
$55000 annual bonus(80% of which is rsu ) and 13000 rsu's for a senior software engineer role.

I have total 6(in usa ) + 2.5( out side usa ) years of work experience
Is my offer fair?

    Uber offer is pretty good. Go for it. The share value could increase on IPO. If the company does well, 100b+.

    If you perform well the bonus will be much more than 55k.

    It's also better than E4 at FB. In fact even with E5 it might be better if you get more equity at Uber compared to FB (Uber's equity should be 1.4 times FB's to account for risk)

    And note that the negative PR for Uber will die down, it's already dying.

      bag, please be realistic about your fantasy. Uber is no way to be 100b, at least given the current situation. Business model is far away form profitable, management is far away from mature. Not even considering burning money world wide with competitors everywhere. We almost beat Lyft 2 years ago, look at US market share now. There is no networking effect in ridesharing, any player can come at any time to compete Uber at any city.

      Obviously Uber has to do well. But the potential is there to be 100 or even 150-200. I am not saying there aren't challenges. Don't worry about current situation, situations change. It's already changing.
      I wouldn't want to go into more details here.

    For the 55000 the terminology bonus is incorrect. 20% or 11k is a bonus the rest is an RSU refresher which vests over a few years --- there are no other refreshers

    It seems that bar for senior level is rusting like hell these days. Anyone with several yrs of experience can get it at Uber no matter what their current comp or level at their current company.
