I rejected an offer from UBER in 2013 because I thought it was overvalued and not a startup anymore ( Yes that was stupid). I do not know the exact numbers but salary was much lower than what I was making. Ended up joining a smaller startup with good paper equity that did not go anywhere . Any one from UBER care to share how much did that stupid mistake will cost me when UBER IPO’s. I do not remember the stock options that they granted.
Just move on man. Yes it was a painful mistake, but keep on thinking about it will perpetuate that pain and its damage forever. I blame myself for not getting into bitcoin 10 years ago when I heard of it, and I blame myself for not buying apple stock way back then when it was so damn cheap. But what's that gonna do? Oh well, there will always be another bus. Maybe a better bus maybe not so much. Oh well that's just life.
Yup thanks ! I have moved on . Just was having some what if conversations with friends :-) and shared it here as well.
I ignored Snap when it was like hiring its first bunch of engineers doing college recruitment in Stanford lmao : shit happens . Move on .
Yup , that one too ! Some one from snap had called and I was like who would work for sexting company. I feel I analyzed all opportunities from tech and challenges perspective and accepted roles where I had more scope to have broader impact without thinking about brands / salary or upside . It does wonders to your ego at the cost of your bank balance :-).
Friend joined Snapchat super early because that was the only offer he got. Now lives in one of the nicest apartment buildings in LA and drives a Maserati.
Hindsight is 20-20. You are looking at your decision to not join Uber from your perspective now in 2019. You have to remember you made a decision with the information you had back in 2013.
Without knowing your offer details nobody can help. You can find that from your emails?
FOMO is real my friend.
Yup! Pain of loosing hurts more than happiness of gaining similar amount.
woah deep
you’d have been one of those newly minted “millionaires” , thats life
Everyone wishes to be a farseer, move on my friend
You sound like a solid crypto investor.
Me 2. I wish I got bitcoin early but oh well. I lost so much in the crypto business. Never again.
