Airbnb vs Stripe Internship Offer
My friend has 2021 SWE summer internship offers from both Airbnb (deferred from last summer) and Stripe. Not much information about specific teams from either company will be known until a couple months before summer. He is an international student so securing a work visa after graduation is important. Which company should he choose?
Stripe
No brainer. Stripe.
Airbnb is very shaky still as we don't know how the covid situation is going to go in the next years. Not a great time to join. They might even cancel/postpone their internships again anyway
this aged really well
My Airbnb return offer this year was pushed back and I had to scramble to find a temp alternative. So there's your answer
Stripe. Shouldn’t even be a question
Look at the reviews immediately after the description. 3.4 vs 4.2
Stripe. Airbnb (frankly all of travel) is in trouble. Go to Zoom, Snowflake, Snap, FAANG, Microsoft, ADM, payments, anything that COVID-19 can’t crack. Stripe is payments, so your buddy should go to Stripe—no brainer.
Stripe. Airbnb though is not in trouble as others are pointing (you will see in S1 soon) but industry is. If shit continues on covid then you never know. Stripe is on safe side plus their growth story is amazing too . So why take even little risk when both are rewarding
Stripe screwed up rsu offer. They only give fixed rsu value per year regardless of stock price. So even if stripe grows 10x his paycheck won't. Airbnb is better to join at this valuation
How can stripe mess up that royally? Do you have a link which supports your statement ?
the poll speaks for itself. Airbnb is cool, but it’s not a rocketship, sorry.
Stripe
