Doordash IPO
- DoorDash millionaire logic? Can some one explain how a senior engineer becomes a millionaire with the DoorDash ipo? These stocks are vested every year right. It’s not like you have the money in the bank.. How many stocks per year are these guys getting?
- what is happening with the WISH stock, dropped 30% since IPO I own a small position at 18.5$, so it really doesn't bother me too much how it goes in the future. I just don't get it, doordash and Airbnb popped since IPO, and WISH dropped 30% from its IPO price, meaning the institutional investors are losing money? how could this be, they are supposed to be the
- IPO tax advise Hi blind. I am a Canadian living in the us and considering moving to a tax haven (Carmen islands, the Bahamas, etc) for ipo. These countries are giving away work visas right now... Has anyone done this? Will my double trigger RSUs be taxed in the US still as I earned them here? I do not have a gre
- How come DASH keeps going up but Uber and Lyft are stagnant? I get that DD has a bad rap going back to pre-IPO, just look at all the posts about how they will fail after the VC money runs out, how they will fail after restaurants open after pandemic, etc. But it has been almost a year since their IPO and are maintaining a 70B valuation a year after they were
- Doordash E5 offer, ask for help/advice TC: 360k total, 210/600/20, stock refresh 0~180k YOE: 4 Pros: - Stock's potential upside: pre-IPO as there was a filing of SEC Form S-1, could be risk as well - Flat organization structure - A lot of new things to build Cons/Risks: - Market Share: 50% according to IPO filing, which is amazing. But

- Which startup to join Currently I'm a L5 SWE at Google. I'm looking to catch some of the pre-IPO companies such as Databricks, Airbnb, Doordash, or wait for another 1-2 years to become L6. I was promoted to L5 one year ago. #startup
- What happens on Carta after IPO I have exercised my options through Carta throughout my time at DoorDash (to minimize tax burden). Haven’t been able to find any info on what happens during/after an IPO on Carta. Will I be able to transfer the shares into my brokerage account? Will I be able to do this immediately or only after th
- DASH, COIN, SNOW all founded around 2012 and IPOed, Instacart left behind Doesn’t look like Instacart will IPO anytime soon considering the internal shuffling and slowing growth. Private companies have an advantage by using all resources to expand at all costs without public scrutiny, and then they IPO when they need to raise cash after reaching the limits of expansion.
- How do taxes on RSUs work for pre-IPO companies? In examples like Airbnb, Doordash, etc. how do employees handle income taxes on pre-ipo vested rsus? Are they double trigger (vest+liquidity event), 83i, or do employees have to pay taxes in cash as soon as they vest?
- Why everyone gets rich so quickly in the field? 350k TC is the norm now? I see everyone says tc this tc that, none is lower than 350k Plus recent ipo for several companies (snow, doordash, c3, ) stock doubling (snap, pins, ) generate thousands of millionairs over night. I feel i m the poorest at my age (35 yo but only 245k TC)
- DoorDash culture I’m expecting an offer from DoorDash. I want to understand what the culture is like. Is it a great company to work for? I’m very well aware that they might struggle financially after IPO. But I want to focus on the culture and life there in this post rather than financials. #doordash

- Uber stock In the last 2.5 years since IPO, Uber stock is still down 25%. The market cap after billions of dollars of acquisitions is $75B. Doordash closed at $65B market cap today.

- Can someone explain how stocks work while IPOing? For example, if I started off as a new grad at DoorDash a year ago with an offer like 130k, 175k stock/4 years, etc. When I start, will they tell me how many shares I am granted or do I wait till the IPO? If the latter, how are people instant millionaires today..wouldn’t it still just be 175k?

Even with the world opening up this year, Uber Eats and DoorDash have record gross bookings compared to last year’s COVID growth and increased like 2x but Instacart only has a 10% growth?
