Am I a black patch on society (ft. Robinhood) ?
I recently joined FB and turned down a few startup offers (no, it wasn't Robinhood, neither was it any of these IPO successes). But the way this past year has gone by with respect to IPOs and how 2021 is framing to be, I am really jealous of these IPO gainers. So, with all this recent GME fiasco, I am very happy that Robinhood's IPO success is in jeopardy.
So I want all the IPOs to fail so that I don't feel like I took the wrong decision (and then I'll get in to these stocks at rock bottom 😉). After all, it's my career years I would have wasted if my stock doesn't grow and all these IPO startups grow which I could have joined.
Am I a sadist ?
Or are you just as jealous of these folks as I am ?

If every startup starts failing FAANG would now have more leverage and you can't use startups as competing offers anymore.
Also talents running to startups -> lower supply for FAANG -> FAANG offers higher TC -> every SWE wins.
You shouldn't, you dumb fuck. You should wish you make more... These hot IPOs mean your next job offer will be that much better. Competition is good and forces employers to pay more to attract/retain good talent. If IPOs are not successful and Wall Street loses its boner for the tech bubble, do you think FB will go unscathed?
