I am considering to interview with some of the startups from the list below. Of course, I cannot talk to all of them. I'd love to know which ones are worth to talk to. Slack Stripe Clover Pinterest Open Table Hulu Robinhood Nextdoor Wish Reddit Drive.ai Thumbtack Coinbase MapR Confluent SignlaFx Trulia Zillow Imgur Lendup Prosper Aether Sumo Logic I'm not including any unicorn startups - Uber, Lyft, etc. I have around 5.5 years of experience of which 3.5 years in Distributed Systems. Masters from one of the top 5 CS schools, if that matters.
Confluent, Stripe
Is Confluent better than the other ones here? In what way?
The companies are not comparable since they operate in different since. I'm not sure how to say one is "better" than the other, not sure even Satoshi can answer that. Confluent is in a great growing space, the founders built Kafka when at LinkedIn, many companies have adopted or are adopting Kafka, and they seem to be well funded.
Thumbtack
Why Thumbtack? Is there a specific reason?
Rubrik

Don't do Imgur
Why not imgur?
Yeah, why? I have friends at Imgur and they love it. Wish I was there.
