How far is it from an ipo or is it going towards an acquisition?
I wouldn’t have that information. But if I were to guess, 3-4 years until either?
Who would acquire even?
No
I love coursera, but the commute would be brutal for me
Good product, but if it's anything like Ng's ad for 90 hours a week normal at deeplearning.ai, no thanks with a no thanks on top
Haha Andrew has not been involved with the company for a long time. The work life balance is actually really good at Coursera
Congratulations on your beefy package
I admire your mission and would love to help it move forward, but I have to agree with another person here that the commute would be rather painful. I wish you much success though. I’ll send in a CV if you ever relocate to somewhere more convenient for me. 👍🏻
Thanks for the kind words!
Interested but worried about TC. How is it compared to other Bay area companies?
To be completely honest, the compensation won’t be as high as amazon, and the stock options are not liquid until the company goes ipo or get acquired. But there is a big potential monetary upside. PluralSight, another edtech company, went for ipo a month ago and now has a market cap of 3B. If you get in now, you would be getting options at the company’s most recent valuation, which was 750mil
Coursera currently has the highest number of users (26 mil) among all edtech companies and a vast amount of data. We can definitely compete with PluralSight, or even 2U(another edtech company, 5.12B market cap)
The postings are mostly manager/lead/senior. Are there currently too many junior engineers?
TCYOE?
