- Congrats Drop Box IPO Markets are bleeding and your IPO still took off.
- What companies for top TC/hour + WLB in 2022? I'm looking for L4 roles. Liquid stock only/realistic chance of IPO. Anyone got referrals, lmk. Amazon Meta Lyft Uber Google Linkedin Airbnb Apple Box YOE 2 TC 170
- Need help to decide: Coinbase vs box Have two offers: Coinbase in SF and box in Redwood city. Coinbase already doing H1B transfer and got receipt notice. Now I got offer from box which is paying way higher and is IPO-ed since Coinbase is not IPO and has no plans to IPO soon. Coinbase: 160K base, 50K equity, 30K signon bonus Title: IC
- Pre-ipo more upside than risk? I see here that people discount pre ipo rsu because of higher risks due to being pre ipo. However I think companies like uber, lyft, airbnb etc who are going to ipo by next year probably have much more upsides. Looking at some companies like dropbox, etc., their opening price is still higher than t
- Stock grant price a year before IPO For people who joined companies about a year before IPO, what was the stock grant price then? Example companies: Box, Dropbox, Twitter, Snap.
- Dropbox Rsu price eval I have an offer from Dropbox and thinking of accepting. Any educated price evaluation of a Dropbox stock when it will ipo? Box is 18$/share rn if that’s an indicator?
- vote Box vs. Credit Karma Which one to join? Same title, base salary is almost identical, Sign/on is the same. Box RSU 15,000 at $25.14 as of today Credit Karma RSU 10,700 at $14.40 pre IPO valuation according to the recruiter.
- link Dropbox IPO, Hiring Underwriters http://fortune.com/2017/07/02/dropbox-hires-underwriters-ipo/ cashing out at market peak? idea of valuation they're trying to hit? how many employees looking to cash out right away? (when lock up lifts) Congrats to Dropbox employees! edit: no idea why Box is the thumbnail pic.
- Director of software for DocuSign in Seattle What would be a good package for a DocuSign director, in Seattle. I’m looking to leave the Bay Area, and am not sure what to expect. It seems like google/fb/Amazon will pay 1m+ in total comp, but is DocuSign in that group? Thanks! My current TC is 1.3M at a pre IPO company (left box a bit ago).
- Dropbox Stock I’m having a tough time deciding whether to buy dropbox stock. On the one hand, looking at box, that stock has definitely surged from when it originally went IPO a few years ago, but it also crashed precipitously before it’s rise. Will dropbox face the same fate? On the other hand dropbox is profita
- Can you help me sorting the best companies to apply to? I am trying to rank companies where I want to apply. My target is to maximize first (TC, WLB) and then (reputation, growth opportunity). So far I have: - established and safe, good WLB/TC: google, netflix, dropbox, twitter - healthy pre-ipo: stripe, databricks - healthy post-ipo: twilio, square - hi
- vote Help evaluate offers Obviously there are pros and cons with all of them. Twilio has been doing well recently and will likely grow a lot in coming years. Lyft going IPO this year means potential but not without the risk that it flops. Also it's behind everyone else when it comes to self driving cars. Box offers the highe

- vote PM interviewing failures. What to do next? Hey folks, I failed almost all PM interviews I could get. I have done intensive prep with many mock interviews, and I am realizing that I am just bad at interviewing. I love the product I work on at Microsoft, but it is so underfunded and it is constantly on 🔥. I cannot bear talking to another cu

What companies can satisfy these requirements? - >500k TC for T6/M1 tech/management - actually doing some good in the world and does not have a negative image e.g. frustrated and exploited drivers/dashers/gig economy fighting with govt policies and law(Lyft uber door dash Instacart Amazon), takin
- vote Should I renege Addepar internship for Snap internship? I'm graduating next year and both internships have the possibility to convert to FT. But both roles are new, so not many data points on FT salaries. Addepar (Product Analytics): - pre-IPO; possible stock upside - amazing people/culture/WLB (4.5 on Blind) - already sent snack box, swag, Uber Eats vo
- Job offer comparison. Lyft v/s Twitter I have a few job offers. Out of the options, I'm undecided between twitter and lyft. I am very well aware of the fact that twitter, as a company, is not doing well. however I'm intrigued by their engineering quality and the scale of work. Lyft on the other hand, has the main advantage of being a pre

- How is Dropbox doing? I’d love to hear both from insiders and others about how the company is doing (please don’t share anything confidential): — Has the announced focus on B2B panned out on the business front? — Have collaboration products succeeded?

- Thoughts on moving out of Bay Area (and California) I’ve been with Mongo since pre-IPO time, fully vested, haven’t sold much of my stock yet. My spouse lost her IT job in 2019 and she wanted to join FAANG-kind of company, burned herself with all prep, got a few declines (one of them being Amazon) and now lost her hope. Both of us in our forties, tw
- vote Leave AI startup after 2 months? TLDR Not doing well at startup. Possibly looking to reach back out to passed (past) offer if that’s possible that’s 50% higher in total comp but less learning and likely less career growth. Otherwise maybe I should start interviewing again? ——————— Recently joined series A ai startup that is work
- Targetting High Paying Companies Jolted down high paying companies in below categories: By stable I meant company has no crazy hire/fire policy, growth potential and huge cash to survive the competition.

At the end however I saw success and so can you. Motivation: I got in the i
- Airbnb: not a bright future... I don’t think the future is bright for Airbnb. All reviews are fake; no one wants to start a flame war on the internet with their real name, no benefit to them. So anything below 4.5 stars means really shitty. If you see a negative review that means it was really really bad. Staying at an airbnb is
