Recently got the offer from Bytedance, Compass and Instacart. Already rejected the bytedance because of concern of WLB and culture issue. Choosing between Compass and Instacart. Compass’s product looks very promising but industry has a lot of concerns about its business model. It has no big difference with traditional brokerage company. And if you compare to Re/MAX, KW. It is significantly over valued per its current revenue Instacart is also very promising, but concern its super high valuation of 39B. Compensation wise, both are at similar level. But there is many uncertainties about instacart refreshing policy, while Compass is solid and generous. YOE 10. Compass title is staff, instacart is L6. Compensation wise please refer to level FYI. No big difference. If joining compass I can work closely with director and responsible for a big domain and make a lot of big decisions. Any suggestions is appreciated.
Im also considering a compass staff offer.
Do you think it’s stock price will be 3-4x? Or you think it will come down to traditional brokerage company level like kw, remax? :)
Im having a hard time believing that compass would easily survive a housing crash. I guess it depends on how long this housing rush lasts. Feel free to dm if you want to compare notes.
iirc Instacart stocks sold on EquityZen for 60b valuation last round (last month I think)
Super helpful! Thank you!
You want the community to engage and discuss with you, how about you add offer details and break up to help the community?
Why Instacart doesn't give you L7 which is Staff eng? What's your current level?
First round phone interview gave me a leet code super hard, I didn’t make it
Sorry but I don't really think LC would determine L7 vs L6. If it does just ask them to re-evaluate and if there's a way to re take those rounds
Feel free to DM me for an honest take.
Sent DM. My offer is pending… would appreciate any help.
nd44, can I dm as well?
Do you know anything about the work life balance at compass ? Based on some of the posts, it sounds like wlb is bad.
I already chosen instacart
What's your current level at FB?

Whats your Tc mr selfish just like fb. What are you giving bck to blind community? Only talk and talk.

Question about women in their 30’s?
Sounds like you like Compass.
I like both. Because I am tired of typing, so I skipped a lot of instacart details. Lol
I'd not bet on compass stock price though. I personally couldn't find the value of instacart either
