After Zomato's IPO, I think Indian startups have arrived. As an Uber Engineer, I can honestly say the Uber Eats app was shit (atleast when it was operating in India) compared to Zomato and Swiggy, the experience and selection was far better. Home grown startups have built word class tech, that is on par with US based apps. And with the compensation increasing for software engineers including new grads in recent times, I think many of them will stay in India and eventually become entrepreneurs or early engineers who build the product. What do you guys think ? TC: 34L YOE ~ 1 (Will be looking for opportunities outside after one year to vest stocks, the work in India is shit and is not helping in my career growth at all) https://www.cnbc.com/2021/07/23/zomato-ipo-indian-food-delivery-start-up.html
Zomato gave an opportunity for its employees and retail investors to make money. Private equity and VCs are already making huge money in other existing startups. There are already many startup unicorns but not publicly listed
Yes but many startup unicorns do have a path or goal to become public right ?
I think most of the big techs like Uber, Amazon etc are building things on top of existing things. I think it's difficult to find work which is from scratch

Wife made 55k last month on OF. Should I quit and pursue OF?
"The work in Uber India is shit" rather? Or are you generalizing?
It's not building anything new or exciting, all such work is in the US. It's more about maintaining stuff which was owned by the US teams and building some small things on top of it.
But the ironic thing is that they laid off lot of engineers in US, right? Also I wonder what Customer "obsession" team really does. I consistently see horrible responses by Uber's auto-suggest replies which Uber agent supposedly finally sends, in both Twitter and app. This tweet thread of Sonam Kapoor's clearly reflected that publicly🤣🤣🤣: https://twitter.com/sonamakapoor/status/1217577017748721665?s=20
