Can you share your interview experience for these roles?
Quora could be worth nkthing!
I'm biased but go for Uber. Really interesting problems to solve + stock price has bottomed out already
Thanks! Quick question: do you think there are still enough big impactful projects in the Rides business, or are we already at the 90% stage of this product? A bit worried that it's too mature for me to be doing anything useful (which may then affect career progression, etc...)
absolutely. You will be surprised even for a mature product like Rides there's still very difficult problems to solve simply because our product transcends the physical realm and many drivers livelihoods are dependent on it. Secondly Uber promotes internal mobility alot so you can move after a year if you think your team isn't a good fit

Women, help me understand why this is inspirational
quora doesn't have much of a product imo They have a lot of stock options but they may very well be worthless. I'd go with zillow or Uber :)
