Deciding between offers and curious to hear you thoughts on company and industry outlook. Which company has the most upside and growth potential? Priorities are: - growth / upside - WLB - prestige Offers so far: Compass 240k (IC3), Redfin said they will match, hoping to also get offer from Zillow and Better.com, Opendoor rejected :( 3 YoE TC: 210k #tech #realestate #redfin #zillow #compass #bettermortgage
I had the fortune to interview with and get offers from Redfin and Better. For what I could see during the interview, my discussion with both managers and what I read online. I felt better had the best upside, but redfin had a knack of holding onto it's ppl.
with "holding onto it's ppl" you mean their employees or their customers? Did you pick Better?
I meant both actually. I eventually went with Facebook. But would have gone for better if not for FAANG offers.
We’re in the housing industry, but are primarily a mortgage company, not a real estate company. We’ve been expanding into real estate, but mainly as a way to increase our purchase mortgage volume. We’re fintech, not real estate tech. And the market is very different. There’s a lot of potential to increase revenue for us, it’s a massive industry where the largest players only have a small % market share right now.
How's Product & Eng culture at Better? Morale looks good it seems like?
We’re a homeownership company. There is a big emphasis on real estate tech happening. A hyper growth in that area.
Ironically one of our big moves is into real estate. Engineering culture is solid, a lot of interesting work starting to ramp up to replace aging systems.
Why are you only looking to join real estate companies? 😂
Oh I'm also interviewing at other places, but no offers yet, Compass & Redfin just were first so wanted to start triaging haha
