Nothing against AirBnB, it might be a fine, solid company doing a good job. But what about them is inspiring?
Second, it seems to me that there’s more room for growth at Airbnb than other companies with similar compensation. (This is an impression with no hard evidence to back it up)
"The company has seen a decline in its job offer acceptance rates to software engineer candidates from nearly 90% in late 2016 to almost 50% in early 2019."[1]

Radical candor time. How are Amazon new grads perceived?
Funnily enough, that fits my stereotype of how a person from Amazon would ask me.
Airbnb is probably the most desirable non-fintech company, Uber and Lyft were in this category too before their IPOs.
Of megacorps, Facebook generally has the best new grad comp and benefits, and is therefore most desirable. Google is a close-ish second, Microsoft and Amazon are far behind due to lower comp and cultural issues (In Amazon’s case, this means terrible work/life balance, in Microsoft’s, perception that it’s boring due to enterprise culture and office locations in particularly bland suburbs).
Apple and Netflix aren’t really on the new-grad radar because they hire mostly experienced engineers.
