Should I join Robinhood, Airbnb, Uber, or Facebook?
I got offers at all four but am having trouble deciding. Robinhood seems really interesting, but I’m worried about the risk of a smaller company. How do you guys think about smaller startup versus something more established?
Easily Robinhood. Best talent right now. After that Airbnb for potential upside and FB for the overall consistent quality.
What about google?
Google felt too large, but I probably should’ve applied there just to get an offer
Ok good luck at robinhood 😉
Mind sharing Robinhood’s TC?
Why are you leaving DoorDash though?
Have you met their management? Its all people with two years experience straight out of Stanford. Its more a frat than a business. I was talking to their director of engineering and he said they only want to hire people with six years experience managing teams of 10 or more. When he has non of that. I think they realized how bad they messed up in hiring all their buds.
DoorDash seems to be doing well but I don’t like how competitive the industry is. How are things at Postmates?
Did the offers all come in at the same time? When you get an offer don't they usually say it expires after a week or something. Was it just luck the offers we're close together time wise? Just curious how that works...
How many onsites did you take to get 4 offers?
I did 5 onsites in total
Care to share ballpark offers?
Join who the fak cares. It’s right across the companies you mentioned
Robinhood has an awesome app, I looked at working there but aren’t they in Palo Alto? Cost of living is extremely high, basic house cost millions
How did you crack the interviews?
OP works at DoorDash, so I’m guessing he or she went to an elite school, took and aced their algo class, grinded leetcode and got a bunch of top tier internships. The hardest part for OP was probably the system design, so they just watched a handful of lectures and did a few mock interviews with friends. How far off am I op?
Pretty spot on. For system design I just tried to understand how my current company works by asking senior people here, and then I read a few articles online.
