Join Uber or not?

I interviewed with Uber in Jan 2023, cleared all the rounds but they did not released the offer till march, so I lost hope and moved ahead. Fast forward, they reach out in Feb this year as they are hiring aggressively now. Received the offer letter based on last year interview rounds. Right now I’m working for a MNC as SDE 2(~5 YOE) and I’m not sure weather to join it or not. Uber is offering SE-2 for a fintech team.

Other points:

cash component is 40% higher than my current org. This excludes the RSUs which Uber provides
various additonal perks which Uber provides like free food, wellness , insurance etc
WLB is great right now, not sure about it in Uber
Frequent Layoffs in Uber

Folks working in Uber, how is the wlb and layoffs scenario here. Would you recommend joining?

Jump aboard the Uber ship, my friend! A 40% pay hike and perks galore, it's a golden ticket. Layoffs? Every company has them. What's your next move?

Maybe if you can make them go for a higher pay as it's only 40% your current salary then maybe you can consider it. Other than that not worth changing the company if you are already satisfied with your current job.

Be carefull. Uber stock prices are at ATH. Gross booking from rides will soon be flat in a year. If the profit and revenue is flat for this year then a majority of your compensation is lowered as stocks prices remain flat or go down. If you are already in a FAANG Sde-2, then Uber L4 is not attractive, if non FAANG then please consider it. It would be good in your CV.

Thanks . Currently in non FAANG. At my experience i was looking for sde-3. Also wlb is a major concern

Idk if it is for a Frontend Role or Backend Role, but SE-2 Backend in Uber would have a lot of learning and managing things at scale I feel. Idk how much scale your startup has and how interesting is your work there so am unable to comment.

Layoffs or not, Uber brand is great to have on your profile
