So far I’ve worked at Snap and Uber. What companies are worth joining right now? I’m ok with a company whose stock is down. I would almost prefer it, if they’ll make it through a recession. In the past I’ve passed interviews with Pinterest, Airbnb, Google, FB, LinkedIn, Lyft, Square, DoorDash, Uber, and Snap. I’m interested to hear about the state of any of those companies and any other companies I should consider.
TC and YOE
I think I will cry if I calculate my TC with the current stock prices. 12 YOE, 6 in big tech. Been 5b at Uber and 5 at Snap. On the verge of L6/E6

Hey im trying to decide betwen snap and uber, do you mind if I DM you?
Apart from what you have already listed, stripe, Netflix, data bricks, cruise, Roblox, Coinbase, Instacart seem good
Dude, you worked on two companies that have the worst stock performance. If you want stable stock comp, go work for big giants like Microsoft Google.
Yeah, fml. I turned down Google twice and now my stock would have been like 6x had I joined. My reason for rejecting has been to stay with the girl I was dating at the time of each offer. First girlfriend, we broke up. Second girlfriend is now my wife. So I guess it worked out in a way.
Microsoft, Google, Apple, LinkedIn are solid recession proof companies
Join a bank. We always have lots of money, just not for you.
120 % true 🤣
I thought the last financial crisis caused lots of banks to shut down
IBM. Stock is only down 1.2% this year, this company is a lindy store of value
But don’t they pay peanuts
Yeah not sure about Redhat (Now IBM) but been with IBM twice, and peanuts it is. 🥲
What level you're looking for or cleared in the interviews?
I was on the border of Google 5/6 two years ago. I would probably end up in a similar boat this time around. Ultimately Google offered me 5 and the low comp of 5 was part of the reason I did not join
If you're interested in growth then companies such as dd, meta make more sense If you want to relax then I've heard Airbnb, Pinterest have good wlb
Join ServiceNow we are rapidly growing even right now
Would you mind referring me?
howdySE i can refer you, DM me
Don’t. Private valuations in this market are not accurate.
Bad advice
