I got offer from Airbnb, Uber, Pinterest all SDEII. But Snap give me senior title and 25% more total comp comparing to those companies, real cash and stock. I have not problem with the team.
But Snap can just survive another 12 months right? Die or become profitable. I am struggle.

2) They don't need to, and it doesn't make sense strategically. From a product standpoint they've copied Snap entirely. Most Snap users already use Insta and/or WhatsApp.
No smart executive wants to work there or is continuing to work there. No hope
Titles are meaningless.
Anyone competent will know that titles are meaningless. I can go to a 5 person start up to give me CTO. Does that mean I have the same experience and calibur of Facebook's CTO?
As for TC—you don’t come to snap for the tc. The stock is a shitshow and everyone knows it. You come bc you can kick ass. You come because IG and Tiktok are fighting you. Otherwise go somewhere safer
No new release is going to turn things around. People are already using IG with the same functionality of Snap. No reason to go back to Snap.
Airbnb and Uber are honestly pretty safe. At least for both you can say that you believe in the product. I don’t think much people can say that about Snap.
They aren't and the product they did innovate on got slaughtered by fast copy cats. They're Kodak only without the decades of success.
I'd avoid at all costs. Way better upside in the alternatives.
Snapchat went public as a hardware company. If they are, they're a failed HW company with a dying app keeping them alive for a few years waiting for lightning to strike twice.

Facebook is doing everything they can to destroy Snapchat, and snapchats profits and active users are suffering as a result. Facebook was in the opposite of such a situation when it IPO’d, and had excellent management in place, which allowed it to grow rapidly.
Thinking that snapchat will do a 180 rebound with such awful management is naive and stupidity. The only monetization strategy they have is to pull a moviepass and keep issuing stock to prevent insolvency.
I guess dropbox is tanking because its employees are financially illiterate?
The moment Facebook sold away the information of their consumers is the moment they knew they would be taken down by the people they claimed the platform was there to serve with great purpose of connection. All a lie and instead of empowering the users to grow and scale, they empowered themselves to b2b and through negligence of content monitoring and reckless decisions to prioritize their own stock price and revenue vs. the entire mission and purpose of the company.
Anyone who uses Facebook still - You have lost the battle but can win the war and bail out now. Their stock should reflect the quality it brings to consumers lives and the positive cultural impact on the world - WHICH IS TERRIBLE and a brand like snap truly deserves to be on top considering Facebook also ripped off all of their ideas. If I had to pick tomorrow - snap all day long and screw Facebook for misrepresenting themselves from the moment Mark Zuckerberg got a taste of power. He is poison and doesn’t even realize it.
Snap looks like a fast-sinking ship to me.
Anecdotal evidence: people using snap and insta both tend to be more open and outgoing on snap and kind of apprehensive of insta (no bobs and vagene on insta anymore 😂)
can’t stop a wheel that’s generating cash , only slow decay and M&A
There is no comparison to be made here, snapchat is nothing like yahoo.
If you want to just start listing out companies to prove your point, I too know how to use google
I don’t know what SDEII is but the other three are much better long term options over snap. It’s not all about the money.
