Anyone else applying to make the jump from Uber's San Francisco office to the Santa Monica office only to find that it's a 10% decrease in salary (the same percentage decrease to work remotely anywhere in the United States)?

I hate that there’s a decrease in salary - I’m doing the same amount of work!

Exactly! Especially, since I've also been covering attorney work while one was on pat leave/transitioning to a new team.. arguably, I should be asking for more $$

That 10% hurts but to me it's worth it for my sanity when it comes to remote working. I wouldn't take the paycut to move offices though, especially at 10%.

I know - if I take a decrease, I'll be requesting to work fully remote, but I figured it would be nice to be in an office partially. However, again, not if I'm getting hit with the same decrease as I would be receiving if I was living in the poorest town in the U.S. Absolutely not worth it.

Is this new job DOA? I’ve been in my new role 6 weeks after interviewing extensively and getting 5 offers and thinking back on those offers I turned down. I picked this company bc I liked their product and the manager, but I’m already feeling 1. REALLY silo-ed . Not a collaborative environment (even though I’m perfectly capable of doing my own thing.)Like I have entire days I don’t talk to anyone 2. Can’t seem to get my boss’s attention on my priorities that truly should be huge company issues

How do I negotiate for a higher starting level? I have 5 years of experience and they told me I would be either L4/L5 but now I’m hearing it’s between L3/L4. I love google and I want to work here but I don’t think I could come in at L3. This is for SWE and onsites went very well
