Talented co-workers. Nice offices in Canada. Remote first company with WeWork satellites.
Leadership sinking the company. Everyone else will be left holding the bag.
Congrats to coursera folks present and former! So... post about your new found net worth on this thread :) I guess it's still paper money for current employees until lockup expires, but congrats nonetheless. #ipo #coursera
Curious to understand the opportunity of joining a startup that IPOs in the <$10B range as compared to the Snowflakes and Roblox’s of the world. Pleas share: Hire month/year RSU value at time of hire RSU value now #startup #tech #compass #coursera #ipo
Opportunity to buy Coursera, Udemy, Udacity stock pre-IPO. Curious how much growth will happen. I think Coursera might be closest but not sure how much valuation will grow at that point. I know pluralsight was acquired by a PE firm which is concerning about the space. tc: 400k #ipo #edtech

How is coursera doing ? Any early signs of hitting recession like other start ups or lack of funding causing any future layoffs ? How’s the work culture there ? Any plans for IPO ?
I’m considering joining Coursera as a software engineer. Current employees, how do you like it there? Anything changed after IPO? How’s culture? Work life balance? Tech? Salaries? YOE: 10 TC: 200k
Are things going well due to the pandemic? How are the engineering teams doing? Heard Coursera's also planning for an IPO this year. Is it a good time to join? Asking because I'd like to start working in edtech in the near future, specifically at Coursera. #coursera
Blind makes it sound like you're guaranteed to get a million dollars when the company has an IPO. Is that actually how this works? Let's say you joined airbnb, uber, or coursera two years before they IPO'd, would you be a millionaire?
They used to be on the news a lot. What are they up to right now and will they ever reach IPO? Are they still growing? - Coursera - Quora - Evernote - Foursquare - Flipboard - Pocket ... (insert others) I haven’t heard any news about these startups.

Coming from non-ml background, I’d like to learn and switch as a ranking engineer. (Ads/Feed). Can any of you help me with a reading list? I finished the routine Coursera ML stuff. Thanks PS: Base Sal - 180k, TC - need a time machine to find the stock price post IPO and calculate.
