I also have databricks offer.
you guys think it's worth to renege?

[cinder ravine]

I think anyone would tbh

Databricks off season maybe

Even recruiters would renege lol

[maiden hemlock]

blind is telling me otherwise lol

[maiden hemlock]

like ask databrick to defer the offer?

[drifting reef]

don't take databricks over open ai

[drifting reef]

@maiden hemlock take everything ppl on blind say w a grain of salt cuz most of them r just projecting and r talking out of their ass. I alr interned at DB. I'd (and prob anyone else) would go w OAI anyday. My friend got NG at OAI and they said they will do internal liquidation events every 2yrs for everyone in the company to participate in. This means its garunteed u can sell a % of ur PPUs ("shares") internally for cash.

DB also just raised a massive round meaning theyre gonna continue to hold off IPO (who knows for how long at this point), and they offer no liquidation events at all for ppl w/ < 5 yrs at the company. Funny enough, you will actually make more in short term from ur OAI shares vs DB shares (as NG)

[maiden hemlock]

damn I see
thanks for the insight 🙏

[rich solar]

oai over all

grats!

[terse blaze]

ngl i would take databricks

actually

nvm

databricks probably has cooler work for interns though

[orchid furnace]

congrats

[dawn nebula]

im also an openai new grad, this is not guaranteed

[dawn nebula]

openai comp is also lower than databricks in the short term

[novel anvil]

Also important to mention that ur DB experience will be significantly team dependent imo. They won’t assign teams till the internship begins, but if ur on some cutting edge stuff like Mosiac or query optimizers then I’d def take that but most of my intern friends didn’t like their team/experience (mostly infra and full stack ppl). I’d imagine the average teams work at OAI is more interesting than DB for that reason

[novel anvil]

How so? Open AI base is higher and there’s no way to liquidate DB RSUs rn barring an IPO

[dawn nebula]

openai new grad base is like 160

[dawn nebula]

and databricks has annual buybacks right?

oh 5y at the company

yeah, openai does 2

[novel anvil]

Nah there’s no buybacks at all, at least not for non senior ppl

I’m p sure very infrequent buybacks for seniors as well (last one was 2020 I think) cuz I remember lots of senior Eng telling me they’re fed up and pressuring leadership for liquidity lol - hence that giant funding round they just did

[dawn nebula]

ah i see ok

then yeah

[novel anvil]

Maybe they’re tryna change it now tho idk. It seems like lots of late stage private companies r starting to offer buybacks

[dawn nebula]

hm yeah

idk

[lyric depot]

blind is praying on ur downfall
