Doordash vs. Lyft vs. Salesforce

Part of this is hypothetical; salesforce is in freeze right now and I'm just basing this on a known TC of a friend from an offer in December. Assuming hiring committee has a approved and you're waiting for freeze to be lifted. Doordash job security is the most guaranteed of these through covid19 and it probably has the most upside. Also probably has most career growth. Salesforce is very heavy cash and bonus, job title is PMTS, and WLB is undercontrol. Uncertain if salesforce will do layoffs or not once 90 day promise is up. Lyft might have a lot of financial upside, but WLB is on the rough side. If covid lasts a lot longer, then more layoffs might need to be done. Which would you choose? #offer #tech

Could you add level that usually makes a big difference for impact and future growth

Salesforce ForcedFart OP Jun 12, 2020

Lyft and Doordash levels the same: L6

What's your title at Salesforce? Salesforce stock will likely double its value in the next 3 years, while the other two will be lucky if they can keep 50% of today's value

Salesforce ForcedFart OP Jun 12, 2020

Not there anymore, but left at PMTS

DoorDash mxeng Jun 12, 2020

Lmao what a joke “New” is. @OP Doordash growth has been amazing, and it’s very unlikely we’re gonna 50% in the next couple years. Come join us!

If you really care about job security, stay at Salesforce. Doordash is not going to do well post-covid. If you care about career growth and potential financial upside, don't join these over-valued startups. Find one with reasonable valuation, possibly between $500m to $5B

Salesforce may lay-off anytime

Lyft JGMR3621 Jun 13, 2020

Obviously biased, but I just don’t think food delivery has the margins to be a very valuable business. Also a lot more competition than Rideshare. I think we’re in a tough spot now but I think we will rebound well in a post COVID world

DoorDash sWMu31 Jun 16, 2020

DoorDash margins are far better than Lyft’s and DD is growing so many times faster. Doesn’t mean it will be easy but we will be far more valuable than Lyft.

DoorDash DasherDan Jun 17, 2020

Food delivery margins are better than rideshare because you have more revenue streams. Also Lyft market cap is $11B vs $57B at Uber...what are you guys doing

Lyft hdhdbwjd Jun 13, 2020

You can apply to more companies before you decide. Also Lyft's wlb depends on the team.

Salesforce THE-MAGA Jun 13, 2020

Is Lyft hiring still?

Lyft hdhdbwjd Jun 13, 2020

Never stopped

Lyft e9h Jun 15, 2020

What was your tc at salesforce when you left?

Salesforce felice Jun 15, 2020

Salesforce ForcedFart OP Jun 15, 2020
