Join Databricks rn, purely for future financial gains?

Got a job offer (L6) from DB. The offer’s pretty good, about 8% more than the other real-money offer I have. When I talked to some senior folks there, they said the stock will go atleast 2x when they IPO. I mean it’s competitor- SNOW did pretty well after the IPO until a few months ago. I will be happy if DB performs the same. Do you think it makes sense to join DB right now purely *from a financial standpoint*? (Looking for a 2-3x gain in stock after IPO) (For a core team, with good teammates, product with good revenue, good scope for future growth)

@l4brickstr it’s only a matter of time before we have huge attrition. The carrot dangling isn’t gonna work forever

When can you cash out your equity?

Oracle Minor18 OP Apr 30

After IPO

Who told you the stock will 2x on IPO? We regularly provide the media financial figures and SNOW is a good enough comparison, look at their multiple and then look at ours.

Oracle Minor18 OP Apr 30

What do you mean? DB is lagging behind SNOW and hence, will have poor IPO?

Databricks bmewegot May 1

Databricks blindjxjx May 2

Databricks Bxefreshed Apr 30

Offer detail plz

There are a lot of reasons to join DB, expecting the stock to go 2-3x definitely isnt one of them. You should join if you are fine with LOWER valuation than the last 43B fundraise. If you have another offer with similar but liquid comp, purely financially DB wont make sense IMO.
