For people who joined companies about a year before IPO, what was the stock grant price then? Example companies: Box, Dropbox, Twitter, Snap.
How is quality of PM leadership at Box? (CPO and Sr Directors). Considering a PM role. How is the Engg culture and quality? How is overall morale post IPO?
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?
I tried to sign up for the Directed Share Program, but the e*Trade UI didn't give me any options to opt in, and the link in the email just took me to the account overview page. Just today it's showing a small box with a link to the DSP, but of course the deadline was two days ago. Great job e*Trad...Read more
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...Read more

Twitter Pinterest _imminent/new IPO_ Doordash Airbnb Roblox Robinhood Instacart Databricks _high-growth eventual IPO_ TikTok _old compani...Read more
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...Read more
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.
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...Read more
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...Read more
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).
Living in the Bay Area is expensive. That being said. I have two offers, one from a start-up that's pre-IPO and one from a larger organization that's IPO. The larger is giving a higher stocks bonus and sign on but this company is BORING AF. The smaller company is paying a good salary but not really ...Read more

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...Read more
