well, some private companies have liquidation events regularly, like Stripe or SpaceX. I'd consider that only slightly more risky than a public company.

I assume the same for Databricks, but i'm not sure?

I think nvidia has some title inflation. I have a friend who work there as 'distinguished engineer', and it's more likely they would be L6 or L7 at FAANG.

I'm guessing overall Nvidia's comp is very similar to most FAANGs in terms of skill and YOE but not title (maybe excepting entry level, since it goes lower and is more fine grained).
