You are not going to get rich with uber. You may be a thousandaire that is approaching a million but unless you are joining high up in the organization you will not get significant stock options. https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/uber https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/uber There are ~5,000 Uber employees at this point. At this point, you are going to get ~0.001% of the stock ( maybe ) At this point, Uber is not a startup. Uber is equivalent to working for IBM. All the major tech decisions have been made, so unless you are bringing some unique expertise to the table ( did you do your PhD in something that Uber cares a lot about?), you will not get many options.
