Friend is coming on as new grad to Airbnb and she can pick her start month (posting for her because she has no Blind), she was thinking mid-August but is afraid of missing out on IPO. Is this a real concern or should she enjoy her summer? (Also she is curious what teams are the coolest/best there for when she does team matching)
Why would u wanna start before IPO? Starting after IPO makes the most sense since then the stock will be liquid.
After IPO anyone will be able to buy, you don't have to work for the company to buy. That's the whole point of it.
I guess her (and my) concern revolves around us not understanding how this works from an internal perspective. She gets a set number of RSU’s so the IPO won’t affect that, but we thought maybe insiders were given the opportunity to buy into the IPO at a discounted rate or something, or have some benefit from being in the company at that time. If not, then clearly she might as well wait until August
Is it in 2019? I heard IPO is planned in 2020
Recruiters told me probably this July when I was interviewing
I saw online theyll be “IPO ready” by end of June, you really think they’ll do it that quickly after?
Who knows
Is she going to ring the bell at nasdaq ?
Lol...what a simp.

I mean this site is already anonymous, so posing as my own friend seems a tad paranoid
