What's the location of Roblox?
If I were in a (pleasant) situation like this, I would pick Roblox. From a potential pov, they are as good or as bad as Robinhood in their respective markets. And I am a gamer :). Square TC is a bit too low on comparison.
Can you elaborate on ‘good or as bad as RH in their respective market’ part? I’ve heard from my friends that roblox is not as great as some of its competitors
It’s just different in that it’s a platform. It can be bad depending on how much the platforms potential ends up making money and how much its metaverse bet actually pays off. If it is an one trick pony like zynga, then I won’t say this.
Can you go for Square L6??
It got shot down by the hiring committee
Robinhood seems like a better bet with stock at all time low.
That’s true. But I’m worried that it will get to a point where they start laying off people. I know they are working on multiple products like crypto wallets and international launches but not sure on how that would turn out
Stock price does not determine that. They have a boat load of cash in hand. They wouldn’t layoff until well after this is vested based upon the cash they have.
I would personally choose remote roles and live in a mcol/lcol area.
Hahaha bay area is expensive and there’s state tax too ;)
Why bad WLB for Robinhood? I hear they have good engineering culture. I would favor Robinhood or Roblox!
Robinhood 🟢 Roblox is overvalued atm. Square
Stock at all time low doesn’t mean it is a good bet. ask Wish
600k in Square stock at this point is an absolute no brainer
U already know the answer is Roblox.
Curious on why Roblox?
Good WLB, good TC, good product
