If it's similar TC, should I go to Twitter, Stripe or Uber?

Taking company culture aside (but don’t undervalue that aspect!) - from a business perspective I’d say 1. Stripe 2. Twitter 3. Uber

They’re currently on the up, riding a wave of press in terms of their valuation and path to IPO, whereas Twitter and Uber are past their peak in some respects. If you can get in pre IPO, there is far more opportunity for personal gain here than joining an established listed co. I think it’s also a lot more personally rewarding to be ‘part’ of that journey.

Business model wise, I haven’t seen the financials but can safely assume Twitter & Uber are not/barely profitable and Stripe is profitable - so in reality you’re choosing between 1) public company trying to optimise and 2) private co about to take a run at IPO via more growth/acceleration. I know which one sounds more exciting to me!

Stripe changed their pay structure to a fixed $ rsu amount which takes away all the financial upside of their growth

This may be an unpopular opinion.

But I think it's kinda shitty that when FAANG people get laid off, everyone feels bad for them and they get so many resources to get rehired, but the same is not true for people that get laid off at smaller lesser known organizations.

Like those FAANG people will be fine, they got generous severance packages. The people who actually need help often get overlooked or are forgotten.
