Which city?

Amazon dpibrtaso OP Dec 21, 2021

SF or Seattle, doesn’t matter. They both fully remote now

Amazon HairyBug Dec 21, 2021

But I guess your TC will depend on your location, right? So is 430 for Seattle or Bay?

Twitter def has bigger market and higher potential upside.

This is an easy one. Dropbox has fallen so far.

L6 at Twitter? What's the breakdown

Twitter WdSc32 Dec 21, 2021

I've got great WLB at Twitter. It does seem like there's a lot of growth potential for Twitter.

What's wrong w dropbox?

Dropbox boblowblah Dec 21, 2021

Haters 😛 We’re still shedding the reputation of “file storage only”. Twitter definitely has a larger market cap so if that’s how you define success then definitely Twitter wins. I’ve heard it’s great there in terms of WLB, perks, etc similar to us in many ways. I definitely think Dropbox has more upside potential (bc how much lower can our stock really go?) and there’s a ton of evolution on the horizon which is very promising. Not sure what growth at Twitter equates to. Not that they couldn’t, I just have no idea how they would evolve. I prefer not to work at a social media company for my own reasons so take my opinion with a grain of salt.

How low can a stock really go? Don’t tempt fate.

Biased opinion n have no opinion for Twitter but absolutely love it here at Dropbox. Much better than (G and Amzn)

Amazon dpibrtaso OP Dec 21, 2021

Amazon is a shitty place. I can absolutely second that. If I have a friend, I will tell him keep away, if I have an enemy, I will say otherwise

Dropbox HarryPotty Dec 21, 2021

TBH I didn’t hate it at Amazon n felt that I learned a lot there (more than G for sure) but the pay was 🥜 Now they have started paying well since no one wants to join Amazon 🤣

Dropbox is a great brand in tech and a dying brand outside of tech, Twitter is a great brand both in and outside of tech.
