Is reddit a good place for a senior eng? Any idea about ipo, and expected comp?

    Reddit has been spun off and re-acquired enough times that I doubt they’ll ever IPO. And they’ve gone through a number of CEOs.

    As far as their tech goes, last I heard they were still python / pylons and a strange database schema. Probably a fun place to work but not for technical growth.

    Reddit has ridiculous amount of pornographic content. One cannot simply monetize such a thing. The traffic stats like page views includes such pornographic pages so that is not a good metric to see the growth. I would really be surprised if reddit goes ipo let alone a successful one. Technical growth will be very limited too as talent level is very mediocre - use linkedin to validate my claim.

      Just responding to your view that Reddit can’t possibly monetize with a counterexample, why is the comparison invalid?

      If you include private accounts Instagram is one of the biggest porn sites in the world. Additionally, there is a ton of non-brand-safe content that is publicly allowed, at least as high of a percentage of content as Reddit’s non-brand-safe content (which isn’t as high as you think).

      FWIW porn actually makes up a surprisingly low percentage of overall content and browsing on Reddit. That caught me off guard once I saw the numbers myself.

    I've enjoyed Reddit so much more than my last job. There are plenty of interesting problems to solve and growth looks good
