- vote Meta stock With the recent 30%+ drop and PE close to 16 Is meta a great stock to buy/join or is it a declining company and the valuation is justified and must be avoided? Since most of the folks on blind are also investors who invest in tech, I would appreciate a healthy discussion on this topic Where does

- What public documents do you look at before interviews? Interviewing at FB. I’ve looked at their investor earnings report, but is there any other public docs that I should look over? FYI this is for a PM role.
- META ! META ! META ! Every company with a bit of digital footprint is shilling METAverse to the investors. After Tesla's not an EV but an energy disprutor/messiah, is META the new shill? And no I am not talking about FB only, they still have vision around it. Are we in biggest bubble or what? #tech #meta #shill #meme
- Top contributer 😎 Blind has started to gamify. I thought TC was good enough to keep people excited 🤑 Don't miss this opportunity to load up on Facebook my investor friends.
- Is 1 year at Facebook enough? A brand like Facebook or any other top company/university on your resume makes it easier to get jobs or attract high quality investors/cofounders in the future. That’s what I think at least. I’m at Facebook and I don’t see myself staying long term. Is a year enough to get the “prestige” of being an
- vote Prestige - Google vs Facebook Let's say that I'm starting a startup in the future. Which sounds better to potential investors/partners. Ex-Googler or Ex-Facebook? I think the two are fairly equivalent as far as job mobility goes. With Facebook on my resume, I can get an interview pretty much anywhere. But what about looking fo
- Why doesn’t Facebook care about user privacy? Leaking user info during elections was bad bad bad. I wish Facebook didn’t have much investor pressure to show growth each quarter. It’s compromising human values, privacy and more. I am happy GDPR is there to protect us, Thank you EU!
- Where to store money to save up for a house? What is a good place to store away money(while earning some interest) to buy a house in ~10 years? Current thought is to put it in a HYSA(1.41% interest rate), throw it all at a robo-investor, or just keep it in checking account(0% interest) #cisco #facebook
- Flexport Now that Flexport got its $1B from Softbank, how has culture changed with the increasing headcount? Business model? The problem is hard, the profitability of freight is slim, and the payback to investors and employees isn't is clear cut as a FB or Google. Thoughts?
- LinkedIn is turning into a virtue signaling Facebook with ego boosting attempts and less substance People who use "ex-facebook", "ex-uber", "ex-google", etc. after their name on LinkedIn are the same people who moan when they wipe their ass Seriously, its not that unique or special to work at FANG, you don't become the king/queen of tech. Ya'll go in the same category as people who label themse

- vote Stay at PayPal or take offer from startup? I got an offer from a startup that is higher than my current TC. They are pre-revenue but have notable investor backing and recently raised a round.

Federal bank 6-7 rate hikes… Stock market tanking… War in Europe… Increasing news about Possible recession… With rate hikes comes less investments in risky businesses/startups… With rate hikes comes less bank loan

- vote JCal calls Meta the Business Loser of this year! Discuss. And it makes me sad because I love the All-In Podcast and I work @Meta. https://youtu.be/6CTgN3xBles?t=1770 I can understand the left progressives hating on Facebook but an angel investor/tech podcaster calling AANG as the winner and F as the loser seems too harsh! Some of his points which I thin
- vote Investing in crises I see fears of recession.. nasdaq corrected 20%+ high multiple companies/unprofitable tech already down 70%+. We have a famous quote 'be greedy when others are fearful and be fearful when others are greedy'. Is it easier said than done ? do big investors often say this and do just the opposite ? eg:
- Capitalism to feudalism? May be feudalism is not the right word, but the issue I'm concerned about is this new trend of founders keeping total control of their companies with very little, if any, say for investors. I generally disliked the trend of so called "activist" investors (more like vulture capitalists), who would ra
- Getting over missed opportunity How do you get over big opportunites that you turned down or missed? For example, someone that turned down early FB or the first Apple investor that sold before it was worth anything. I declined on early employee of a unicorn, and had no good reason to do so. I didnt have better plans at the time.

- vote FAAMG returns in 2022 With fed slowing down and raising interest rates, here's my prediction to the big 5 returns next year. Facebook: big push in meta verse will limit its profitablity, but stock will rise considerably. Even though wall street like to bash it down a few times, they'll put their money into this incredib

Well, I came across a video on YouTube by a famous analyst telling that it's a good time to buy that. Is investing in coinbase right now a good idea? I'm not a seasoned investor
- Venture Capitalists are so overrated They think so highly of themselves. And always eager to spread their expert knowledge on Twitter in politics, medicine, sports, entertainment, you name it. They are just so full of shit. If you look at the tech industry now, 95% of market cap, revenue, earnings are dominated by 5 companies that took
- vote Would I be making a mistake for my career by not joining FANG For those of you who have been in the industry for 6+ years: would I be making a mistake by not joining a company like Google or Facebook? TC is not what I'm optimizing for, but rather, I mean from a network or resume perspective. I aspire to start my own company as my end goal, or be a high level

- Chamath Palihapitiya - How did he become so influential ? I would love to get Blind's views on Chamath Palihapitiya. To me ( purely my opinion, I may be dumb or completely wrong ) he seems to be an arrogant greedy mean guy, who just got rich. IMO, He hates most people in the world and is super self obssessed. He also kind of hates pedigree education, pro

- Silicon Valley: Risk Averse now Remember the good old days (2010? 2012?) when everyone was trying to join the hot new startup? If it has a cool name and logo and top tier VC funding, everyone was game. Low salary? No biggie, just pay me in “equity!” Oh how the times have changed. Now people are so risk averse they just want to wo

- vote Unpopular opinion: Apple has beaten Google as the best company to work for as SWE Google has always been the darling of silicon valley for their TC, WLB, Perks, Prestige, Stock etc. before 2020, even though Facebook/Netflix can beat Google's TC, they couldn't beat their WLB, Perks.
