Seems IPO is on the horizon, but also I don’t like 996. Should I interview with TikTok?
In what world does a TikTok IPO seem near?
Nope. High valuation. More downside than upside Bad market, meta and snap coming for the kill Bad culture, bad wlb. Unless you get a 3-2 and all cash offer, not worth it
What differentiates 3-2 from other levels?
Agree that it's not worth working there, but trust me, Snap isn't coming in for the kill. (Maybe Meta, but idk.) We have no idea how to compete with them, and just look at their usage and growth numbers. Anyone who hasn't given up already is terrified. Nation-wide TikTok ban rumors in the US are one of the few things keeping this place alive, and I'm not convinced it will happen AND be held up in court. Even if it did, hard to say how many users would jump from theirs to our (inferior) app.
Lol IPO is not happening. NEVER
If there’s no IPO, are you making a lot of cash?
IPO on Horizon, when ? In 10 years ?
How? Its Chinese company, IPO in US? President she won’t let. Search DiDi IPO
When ?
Had a phonescreen with TikTok for a position in Vancouver. Interviewer is from China so had to conduct interview late at night (early morning China time). - First question they asked was if interview could be conducted in Chinese... - Then a lot of gotcha questions, I managed to answer many of them, even the harder ones, but missed a few. - Managed to solve LC Hard with optimal solution as well (interviewer suggested an approach less optimal than mine) --> Got rejected! WTF...
Agree it's not worth working there, but might be worth interviewing anyways as practice for better places.
Maybe do it to get some practice if you’ve got the free time. IPO is not happening
IPO on the horizon? When
Horizon can be very far, like the meta horizon worlds
Then what’s the hype, a troll post? Stfu
