Lucky enough to have offers from all three (SDE-1 level). Here's the comparison:
Google: Base 28L + RSUs (vest over 4 years) + 3L signing = ~42L total yr1
Microsoft: Base 22L + Stock + 2L signing = ~32L total yr1
Uber: Base 25L + RSUs + 5L signing = ~40L total yr1
Beyond compensation, I'm considering:
- WLB (heard Google and Microsoft are better than Uber)
- Learning opportunity
- Brand value for future switches
- Team and project
What would you pick?
