How’s StubHub nowadays
Laid off from Google deciding on next step. Interviewing with StubHub right now. Obviously reviews aren’t great, but more recent ones seem better. Hoping some current employees can shed light on how it is there? How’s work life balance? Also wondering how the equity portion works exactly? Is there any liquidity events or anything or is it basically 100% useless before IPO? What’s the likelihood of IPO? Is the general sentiment good or not so much? I’m also in late stages with Amazon. Assuming Amazon has much better liquid tc, but much lower tc if you include StubHub stock, which one would be a better bet?
In this market, liquid > paper. Amazon also offers 100k sign on so that might makes up the difference in TC. For long term career prospect, go to Amazon
Well the sign on bonus is part of the first year comp. Like they don’t give almost any stocks usually first year, so signing bonus is already taken into tc for years 1 and 2. Btw I’m an ex-Amazonian
Go to stubhub if it makes you happy in that case since you already have Amazon and Google on your resume assuming Amazon wasn’t internship or contract position
have heard good things about stubhubs direction recently. if I had already done Amazon + Google I’d probably go there
Work here. It’s great and has only been getting better.
Friend joined StubHub last year and went from bragging about his dubious RSUs and how good the place is to being suddenly fired in less than a year.
Unfortunately the rationale for firing someone differs vastly between teams. Not sure what happened to your friend but I have seen some decent people get let go while we still have quite a lot of low performers in the org. Some teams just expect more than others and the managers take things personally very quickly. Rsus are still dubious though.
any update here?
OP did you decide to join?
No I ended up getting an offer from a high growth startup I decided to take
Can I DM you?
Tay Tay rescuing them.
That doesn’t mean their employees are any happier though
