Referrals needed (had to decline my Uber offer) - Dropbox, Square, Stripe, Box, Snap, Slack, etc

Hello fellow blinders, I am looking for referrals to the comanies listed in the title, plus Robinhood, Redfin. Zillow, and Coinbase. I am currently unemployed and had to decline an offer from Uber, so im back to square one and have no other interviews lined up. I had to decline the offer because it was too much of a downlevel, not worth getting laid off in a few months. I have 8 years of backend experience and was most recently a Senior tech lead, looking for backend roles in the bay area. update: some people have been questioning my decision to decline the Uber offer. The decision has been made and it was the best thing for me. lets focus on the referrals please.

I'm not really clear on why you had to decline the offer from Uber. Now you're unemployed

It was too much of a downlevel, it wouldnt make sense to accept a downlevel plus risk getting laid off soon.
