Coinbase
👎 closed their Chicago office. Ceo is weak too
Wework Ceo strong though
Airbnb has great TC, WLB is good, it’s not solving anything interesting so you can rest and vest, and it has much more broad brand appeal across different demographics. Stripe is good. Airbnb is good. Everything else... pass.
Airbnb is legit. They have a business model that actually generates profit unlike Uber
doesnt matter if it generates profit, right now the DEFAULT for tech IPOs is to go down. Airbnb is slightly over valued and isnt high enough growth to give significant returns from the IPO
Hard to call a company which hasn’t had a funding round since 2016 overvalued :)
Rubrik!!
Rubrik is doing good but I heard they only pay like 70% of Stripe/FAANG TC. Doesnt matter if a company goes 10x if you only own $1K in shares.
I think the compensation was fair for me. Seems like it's on a good path too. Def worth interviewing.
Robinhood?
What about Plaid?
Plaid is good as well, but not that many people know about and also no moat (I may be wrong?) I would join plaid if they could compete with my current offer 230K offer for new grad.
Databricks?
its not bad, but not great. I would choose FANG over databricks (unlike stripe)
Bloated valuation
Affirm/flexport/alto
What kinds of eng do they hire
wtf is alto ?
