    Instacart pays very well, got a 550k tc a year offer from them recently but I honestly don’t think they will have a successful ipo or have a future in a post COVID world

      1. GTV drop off will level off soon and long term move to online (3x by 2030)

      2. Bigger basket sizes will make breaking even easier

      3. Ads to the moon. Can't say the same for doordash, uber, or lyft

      4. Probably gonna subsidize item prices to make them lower than store prices eventually.

      5. International expansion (More scale)

      6. Dark stores to speed up and eventually automate everything

      7. Straight up top tier talent hired now.

      8. Probably some other stuff too like paying influencers on TikTok (yes I use TikTok).

      9. Andreessen horowitz is not dumb, neither is sequoia. Particularly Andreessen invests in companies that they have high conviction in and is/will dominate its market. Their participation in such late stage fundraising indicates very high conviction. (You can assume they vetted the numbers and business plan for you).

    Robinhood is throwing money to beg people to come at this point. It’s pretty insane

      Can confirm. When I interviewed they said they need a lot of engineers. They are focusing on operations right now and have plans for feature work.

    I interviewed with quite a few late stage start-up at the beginning of the year and TikTok and Coinbase were by far my highest offers.

    Robinhood and Instacart were by far the worst experiences. Instacart banks on you drinking on their koolaid, especially since the pandemic has rly boosted these ppl’s ego. And at the time Robinhood thought they were hot πŸ’© only to be πŸ’© because of the entire gme thing.

    Funny enough, when I spoke with the recruiters and some team members at Coinbase around the time that the Robinhood was gaining a lot of bad publicity, Coinbase said they were doing really well because of it. πŸ˜†
