Hey folks , I was wondering , given all the drive to join Stripe , can any current Stripe / ex-Stripe let me know on whether career prospects after working at Stripe and switching , were you able to reach out to recruiters / were you reached by recruiters for interviewing? If so does it only include pre-iPos but large companies possibly including the fang company? So if any body , current / ex stripes can you share their experiences ? Thank you much !

You can use Linkedin to see what folks from Stripe do afterwards. A few of them have done very well, with DE and VP titles despite relatively few YOE. Generally substantial tenure at any well-known highly-selective company will get you a lot of attention from sourcers and HMs.
This makes a lot of sense ! Will do so , thank you so much for the idea
Stripe used to only hire from “good” universities. Which was never a thing with Amazon.
What about between stripe , LinkedIn and apple ?
Weird flex, but who cares, we are on blind
I would also consider whether you can realistically get promoted at Stripe within 2-3 years, since that will impact exit opportunities. At LinkedIn if you are a SWE or Sr. SWE you definitely can move up within that time frame.
Hey OP how were the interviews?
You work at Amazon now, the heck are you asking this for? For many people Stripe looks better than Amazon on a resume
Cause I’m on the verge of getting an offer from them , and I’m new to the whole idea of pre-ipos !
