How does having Robinhood on your resume look like compared to FAANG or Uber? Trying to understand how Robinhood is perceived as a tech company. it would be great if you could leave comments. It would be really helpful Edit: this is from tech perspective Curr TC: 175 Yoe: 5 #tech #software
prestige to who? Other tech people? Better than amazon. Normal people aren’t that impressed about robinhood
Yes, other tech ppl
Prestige is subjective
Robinhood is a joke
Would you care explaining?
I appreciate the question. When I was a young boy in Bulgaria... (C) Vlad the Stock Impaler
Why does prestige matter?
Why not?
If you have option to choose between, obviously considering the salary first
It used to, but it will suffer as the stock suffers.
This
Yes. This.
Ditched G and F offers to join RH cz their pay was better. Looks stupid now but i know many who did the same. Who knows if this will again change in future. Look at the role and your growth opportunity rather than brand name. Also prestige can't be a metric as it's subjective. I really like and respect Uber eng (at least from a year ago) because of their open source contributions in observability space and superior tech blogs. But someone not familiar with it would not really value them as a company because of stock performance. Similar things can be said about the likes of Dropbox who've had good eng culture for quite some time.
are you not looking to leave? G/F offer should still be valid if it was less than a year ago
Yes they are valid, but I'm not looking yet. :)
I know mediocre talents that joined companies like Affirm, sofi etc made huge money and they can retire anytime. Now tell if prestige is important ?
Exactly what I always say. Nobody cares where you work. What’s prestigious is your salary that can enable you to retire faster
Do you think Rh is in that boat? Stock is all time low
Never thought RH will end up in this dump. Hope it starts flying again
Pleas fly again!
I don’t understand why Indians care so much about prestige? There are lesser known startups which pay like shit but they do extremely groundbreaking work in AI/ML. Quality of work matters, not the company name. I know people at FB who work on their career site used by recruiting. Now tell me if that is a big deal?
Everyone look at different things in a company. At this time, prestige in tech is one of the thing I am looking at because I would like to have a big name (wrt tech) on my resume. What are those companies that you are referring to?
Can you name few such startups?
Companies who trade below their IPO price by about 35-40%.... ZERO prestige. 🤷♀️
Uber zero prestige?
Amazon and Microsoft have the best prestige for Engineers?
Depends on the company. Definitely better than Amazon.
Bruh they extended me a senior engineer / SDEIII offer when I was an L4 / SDE1 at amazon Wtf are you on about, Robinhood is easy af to get into
They just up level and amazon down levels
