Airbnb Competitors
- Does Fb consider airbnb a competitor when I resign ? Hi, I am moving to airbnb from FB and want to inform my manager. Does Fb consider Airbnb as a competitor ? Will I be let go the same day ? Will I be able to choose any day as my last working day ?
- Airbnb Comp Why does Airbnb offer much higher comp than all of it's competitors like Fang and other pre-ipo companies?
- Good time to buy Airbnb stock? Airbnb is at 142.5. According to my research Airbnb has the most organic visitors (around 70%) than any of it’s competitors. Airbnb’s tech and business model is very promising. True that prices could fluctuate for some time, but I am thinking of buying and keeping it for next few years. Any thoug
- Airbnb $1T Airbnb seems likes the only unicorn I see that can reach a $1 trillion marketcap. Rough numbers are $40b gross bookings $5b revenue $1b profit My reasoning is simple. Network effect and a likely monopoly. High margins. Travellers are going to spend more on airbnb than almost any other tech company
- vote Which big tech has the most negative impact? 👿 All big techs have mean streaks, sometimes unintended consequences. My employer will score high for obvious reasons. AirBnB made cities more unaffordable for middle class, Uber squeezes drivers with below minimum wage, Microsoft used to be the big satan taking that over from IBM, Apple and Samsung s
- Sonder Has anyone heard about this Airbnb competitor Sonder? My friend recently stayed in one of their apartments and really liked it. Scalable or competitive model?
- vote Doordash and Airbnb What are your thoughts on their market caps? I think Doordash is definitely overvalued. Food delivery market has a lot of players. I don’t understand why Doordash is valued at $60B while Grubhub is valued at $6B. Revenue growth is higher but next year when covid goes away, it will be likely another
- Is Airbnb throwing money away hiring Jony Ive and ex-Apple marketing VP? Both Jony Ive and Hiroki Asai were Steve Jobs' right hand men. Airbnb is simply a travel company, why pay up the ass for these two costly employees? I get it if they have competitors in their space, but they are essentially the only company in town. Why waste so much money on marketing and design
- Why Uber IPO was a flop but Airbnb IPO is blockbuster? Uber back in 2019 didn't have layoffs, there was no pandemic, they were valley favorites with possibility of 200B valuation on the trading day, but could only go high as 75B. Whereas, with Airbnb being a smaller company, niche market with lot of competitors, broken business model due to pandemic, r
- Lyft vs Airbnb Just got an offer from both, similar package, I like both for their mission, culture, engineering team, very difficult decision for me. Airbnb is profitable, growth slows down a little bit since last year, have some new initiatives, some competitors, but not as fierce as lyft is facing. On the side
- Two weeks notice before signing offer? i have offers from fb and google and airbnb. I want to give 2 week notice but not sure which i company i want to take. obviously if i take fb or google they will escort me out. should i wait till after signing my offer to give notice or can i just give it now and decide later? How will they react if
- vote Biggest loser of 2020 Candidates are 1. Airbnb. They overreacted during the pandemic, sold their equity at a fire sale, laid off 25% of their employees and then rehired some of them a month later, and didn’t go IPO when they could at a hefty valuation. Now they are trying to go IPO in a middle of a pandemic when traveli
- vote when does FAANGMULA Salary Market See Correction??? So COVID-19 is fucking startups as VCs are changing their investmenr decisions and those who may need more funding later this year are going to have a hard time raising capital relative to the market pre-COVID-19. layoffs are ensuing at companies that lack strong balance sheets. and for the most p
- Evaluating offer that is a promo but low-ball stock Currently a 5a at Uber, got a staff engineer offer at a fast-growing startup called Sonder (staff for them being like Uber's L5b or high L5/low L6 in general) in the bay area that recently became a unicorn. They claim to be a rocketship, constantly compare themselves to Uber, Airbnb, etc. Salary:
- link warning: Stay away from Pinterest TLDR - Pinterest does not treat employees well and you will have a chance to work with real stupid people in your day-to-day life. More likely your manager stabs you in the back and none of their promises will be true. People who actually do things are burning out and not rewarded. If you consider y
