Got these two offers, little inclined towards flexport because of their potential IPO.

Google L5 - 190+ 131 + 38 = ~ 350

Flexport

When it’s 10 dollar a share
175 + 112 + 17 = ~ 304

When it’s 18 dollar a share ( this is the price trading in secondary market) people from flexport please confirm this.

175 + 202 + 17 = ~384

Need help to decide please advise

  • Meh, Flexport is ok. Work there is not that interesting. The culture has changed since the new CTO was hired.

    Food for thought… With Google on your resume, you can join ANY unicorn startup.

    • There’s a TON of value to be delivered to customers via what’s broadly referred to as 4PL, and I think a common trap is to try and offer all of it at once. It will take time to build all that can be built, and there’s an interesting challenge in planning what to create first, and how to bring it to market.

      I’m not sure how clear we are on what’s actually valuable, versus what we assume is. Simplifying integrations and making certain interactions clearer and easier could go a really long way, but it’s also not necessarily glamorous.

      Lots of opportunity for Flexport, some of the coolest work I’ve done, but far from a sure thing—nothing ever is, though. And I think we’re (usually) honest with ourselves about that.

      Sounds cool. Any interesting opportunities for senior StratOps folks?

  • Based on market trend flexport ipo price will be 30+

    Good business and growing at a good pace. Lots of external challenges hindrance to this growth. They will be doing 1.5b - 2.5b in revenue this year but still no profit.
    Not a tech company. Leadership is good but can do better. They are hiring but the quality is low as many people have left for better unicorns like stripe rivian etc.

  • I’ve been getting hit up on LinkedIn to sell my shares, latest offer was $21. IPO is expected to be around $30-$35.

    Flexport is a well known startup but with Google on your resume you can get in anywhere. Kind of a tossup for which suits your goals better
