- Dropbox IPO with 40% hikes! Congrats! Start to short the stock before next ER.

- link Dropbox preparing for an IPO? https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-01-11/dropbox-is-said-to-file-confidentially-for-initial-offering Congrats!
- Moving to Dropbox hoping to catch IPO Do you think it's a good time to go to Dropbox just to catch the expected IPO in 2017? Recruiters are boasting they are already cash-flow positive
- Dropbox - will it go ipo this year ? Have a potential offer from dropbox Comp is ok but mostly looking at 40k units rsus Will it go ipo this year ?
- link Dropbox sets IPO price range, valuing company at ~$8B How do Dropbox employees feel about this? Newly minted millionaires?? https://techcrunch.com/2018/03/12/dropbox-ipo-range/
- If you had invested $100 in Dropbox at IPO in 2018, you would now have $88 They raised Series C at $10b valuation in 2014. Their first VC backer, Sequoia, did not participate in funding Dripbox after 2011 Series B. Stock reached $40 ATH closing price in June 2018 and is $25 today. How do they retain talent? TC: 📉 (Edit, fixed title typo)
- Dropbox/Spotify IPOs Anyone knows what do the employees get after an IPO? I keep hearing the they get rich but how? Do they get more stocks or anything like that?
- Dropbox millionaires Out of 2000 Dropbox employees, how many cleared $1M, $10M and $100M at IPO?
- Only joining pre-IPO companies I know a guy that optimizes by only joining pre-IPO companies that he believes are on the verge of IPOing. For example, he joined Dropbox <1y before the IPO, and recently he joined Robin Hood. Is this a good strategy to follow?
- 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
- Pinterest plans for IPO Anyone has any information on when Pinterest ipo is happening? Trying to decide on whether joining Pinterest or Dropbox.
- vote Pinterest vs Dropbox Got L5 offers from them, both TC 450k, bay area. But let's consider stock futures. Currently: - $DBX is at 1x its IPO price (P/E 21), so not overvalued, a safe ship IMO. - $PINS has more than 2x'ed its IPO price (P/E 52), so likely overvalued and price may go down? Which to join considering future
- link Dropbox employees, how do you feel about this? https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2017-03-30/dropbox-secures-600-million-credit-line-ahead-of-expected-ipo What's the atmosphere internally?
- Dropbox Rsu price eval I have an offer from Dropbox and thinking of accepting. Any educated price evaluation of a Dropbox stock when it will ipo? Box is 18$/share rn if that’s an indicator?
- 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.
- Top Pre-IPO Companies right now? Worked at Meta & Google, sick of working in FAANG -- want to try something a bit smaller with higher upside. Prestigious companies of the past (AirBnB, Snap, Lyft, Uber, Dropbox, RH, etc) are now all public, and I don't really know what the pre-ipo landscape is now aside from Stripe. Bonus points f
- Some companies just give you $500k RSU out right? Some companies like Dropbox, Lyft, Airbnb, the senior software engineers have stock of $125k out of a $350k TC... (per year). So that means they are given $500k of RSU out right? Some of them have 0 year in the company, so it doesn't look like it is due to an IPO but that they joined after the IPO
- vote Now I have my offers, I can't decide what to do... I have offers from Facebook, Google, Uber, Dropbox, and Amazon. The offers are very comparable, but the Uber one comes with extra equity since they are pre-IPO. I'm more into product rather than infrastructure, and so are the teams I'm being considered for. Opinions?
- Anyone know how much money people who joined pre-IPO companies made? If they joined one or two years before the IPO. Trying to gauge the range of outcomes. Examples that come to mind include Snapchat, Twitter, Dropbox, Facebook.
- Late stage company annual comp bumps What kind of comp. bump (base and stock) can senior/staff level engineers expect at Late stage IPO close companies such as Airbnb, Uber, Pinterest, Dropbox etc ?
- vote Where should I go... Dropbox or Stripe? Let’s assume pay is the same. Dropbox pros: - Good WLB - Higher level / more scope - Fully remote Dropbox cons: - Trying to pivot to stay competitive - Lots of leadership churn / recent layoffs - Stagnant stock - Fully remote - Unlimited PTO Stripe Pros: - Potential for upside / stock probably on
- Next big ipo To change the topic. What do you guys think of the next big ipo after Snapchat. I see Uber is not one with the current crisis. May be Dropbox or airbnb

- link Dropbox CTO leaving How does this impact potential IPO? Is this a sign of abandoning a sinking ship? https://techcrunch-com.cdn.ampproject.org/c/s/techcrunch.com/2017/07/21/dropbox-cto-aditya-agarwal-is-leaving/amp/
- 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
- Companies paying more than 450k for FB L5 equivalent Hi, I am trying to make a list of the companies which can pay above 450k TC (excluding joining bonus). Yoe: 8 fb e5 tc 340k.

- Will U quit Microsoft for a startup like Dropbox in Seattle if you are on H-1B Just wanted to know views and opinions on quitting a high paying salary and an amazing brand like Microsoft for Dropbox Seattle. What would you consider if you would make that move? Is it cash signing, stocks, IPO possibility, work culture, green card process etc.
- PM @ DropBox Got a call from a recruiter for a PM job at DropBox. I haven't used dropbox in ages. Are they still relevant? How is the company doing? Stock has been flat since IPO. How is the work? How are the people? Any pointers? Is it even worth trying? TC: 220K YoE: 12 years #product #dropbox
- How is it working for Dropbox? Are here any folks from Dropbox? How do you like working there? Will you stay after IPO? What you don’t like in the company? Mostly interested in Seattle/NYC locations Will appreciate any constructive answer
- 2018 IPOs Curious what companies blind posters think have a > 50% of an ipo in 2018? Pinterest, stripe, airbnb, lyft, uber, palantir, dropbox are the ones that seem to get mentioned. Bonus points for naming the first - I'm assuming at least one goes public.
- Dropbox How is dropbox doing as a company? Is it a good time to join them considering they are expected to ipo in near future? What is the culture like at the Bay Area and Seattle offices? How is the work and work-life balance?
- Is it fake? My friend at G told me a story: His L5 teammate left for Dropbox 5 years ago, they met at the party last week, and then surprisingly a teammate said that he’d earn the same $ at G (so he didn’t earn that much @ Dropbox after IPO). Is it a trolling? I thought it makes sense to go for Lyft, Airbnb.
- Dropbox IC3 I have an IC3 offer with Dropbox base 185k. My h1b transfer is in progress with Dropbox. I have received an offer from another non IPO company- IC4 base 210k. I believe I did a poor job in negotiation with Dropbox. When should I talk to my manager in regards to the base pay, once I join Dropbox. A
- Dropbox Offer Negotiation (IC3) I recently had an onsite with Dropbox and was just informed that they want to extend an offer(after team match). It’ll be IC3. What can I expect the TC breakdown to look like? Any tips on negotiation and maximizing TC? I only have one competing offer on the table but the equity portion is paper mon
- How is working at Dropbox Couple of years ago Dropbox was the hottest tech company around with an abursedly high hiring bar and Michelin star restaurant grade food. How is it nowadays with the company trading at 70% pre IPO valuation? Is the hiring bar still that high? Are the super star engineers still there? Top of the mar

Looking for backend engineer referrals to remote roles in Canada/hybrid roles in the Waterloo area. Have one offer at a pre IPO startup with less than my current base and interviewing with some others but looking to maximize
- What makes one IPOs more successful than others? For example Twilio grew 400% since its IPO. At the same time Dropbox is barely hanging there in comparison. Now there is Lyft, Uber, etc. coming our way soon. How does one see a confidence in given company to make money? Is it all just a luck to some extent?
- Are good startups worth considering vs FANG? I'm not talking about startups that are going to ipo next year but startups that probably have 3-5 more years before ipo. Probably companies like affirm, gusto, rubrik, etc. Are those generally worth it if you have a g/Fb offer? I'm a new grad and I feel that fb/g is a better choice but did people
- vote FB v Stripe v Dropbox All L4 equivalent Stripe - 320 TC Dropbox - 290 TC w/ 25k sign on Facebook - 275 TC w/ 50k sign on Stripe is 1 yr grants of 125k. It may IPO but doesn’t have much upside due to the grant structure. Is it worth joining still? Or will FB equity grow as fast anyways? Main motivation is career growth
