> $330k/year

For a traditional software engineer? I retired last year after 3 decades and my salary was about the same as it was in the early 2000's at the last company I was at. Maybe I should have negotiated more but I thought only FAANG paid traditional pre-AI engineers more than $250K.

Uber's comp packages are probably right in line with that. Tech salaries are trimodal, and uber's right in line with the big public tech companies.

There is a tier just outside of FAANG that pays similarly or better, prominent examples being Uber, Airbnb, Stripe, Block, Databricks, Datadog, Pinterest, Snowflake, etc.

250k for base pay is about in line with median I'd say.

If 250k was the total comp (taking into account bonus/stocks/what have you) then yeah, you definitely should have negotiated.
