[Poll] how stressful is your job
https://twitter.com/chamath/status/1247718856937922560?s=19 Are Airbnb people gonna scatter now? Feel sad for you guys but also not really given how fucked your recruiting process is and the feeling of superiority your engineers have for their 'talents'.
Half, why not full? Airbnb has messed up the rental market in a pretty bad way, they kind of deserve it I guess.
Yes yes
How so
Holy shit, they are in worse shape than I thought. If they truly had $3Bn in cash on their balance sheet they wouldn’t need to do this. Wow.
Airbnb is paying more than 10% interest on their $1bn financing... wow
RIP. AirBnB will be remembered as a glorified Ruby on Rails Crud app.
Chill guys.. don't need to be vultures on company with rotten luck. Grow some empathy n move on
Lmao. Its not being vultures. Its knowing that they killed a lot of good rental markets. Its knowing that they rejected a lot of good engineers for not being chinese enough. Its knowing that they had policies that hurt hosts. Its knowing that they hurt a lot of hosts by allowing rental property scams that were dangerous for users on the platform (look it up if you don't believe me). And you work at Lyft, knowing that your unit economics work by exploiting needy people and have a single business model. You also know that robot taxis are coming (Waymo, Cruise, and Tesla) and still continue to believe Lyft will succeed .
Well. Just fyi. Not all chinese benefitted for AirBnBs shitty interviews. Only a very select few benefitted from it. My friend was left out because he couldnt get to know the questions beforehand
Damn, Airbnb are in full ankle-grab mode. I see this as a positive for the economy. At least they didn't destroy billions more in wealth with an IPO, unlike Uber and Lyft.
they destroyed the rental market and also lured in a lot of hosts that took out mortgages to fund their airbnb rental makeovers or getting new Airbnbs.
You are wrong, company go IPO now has tons of cash to survive
well this should have gone down more !
The entire stock market is overvalued. Eventually it will have to renormalize. Until then people want to ride the bubble.
If a pandemic can’t “normalize” it, then I’m not sure what can. Maybe if Trump somehow loses the election.
DM your resume and I will personally make sure your interviews with Airbnb will be deeply fucked every time.
Lol haters gonna hate, just look at this thread! We’ll be fine, don’t you all worry. It’s a temporary setback.
All the folks who didn’t get offers decided to gather on this thread.
Yes, best of luck. We will all need it in these crazy times. I actually got an offer there but it got rescinded two weeks ago. Got an offer with Amazon and Netflix so I will pull the trigger on Amazon likely.
Damn that sucks, too bad we can't buy
Should be available on private market?
Equity zen?
