I got a Senior Engineering Manager offer from a startup which is doing pretty well, hopefully will IPO in 1-2 years. (Sorry cannot name it) Offer is valid for 7 days. I am in touch with G/F/Amazon for an Engineering Manager position. In a big dilemma. I am ok with going to the startup , but want to explore the above three also fully. If anyone has been in this situation, please explain how you went about it. Ideal case would be to stall existing offer for a long time (~1+ month) while I try out F/A/G
Depending on how well the IPO goes, you might be better off financially staying with the start-up and moving to one of the others later on
Agree. But then you never know when it really IPOs 🤷♂️
It’s not
If the startup hasn't shared the offer details, it should be possible to ask them to wait for a few weeks before you can decide. Companies usually enforce deadlines once they send you the official offer letter. If you've gotten an official offer letter, it is going to be difficult to keep them waiting for that long unless you absolutely crushed the interviews and they would rather risk waiting than burning bridges with you. In general, you should try to tell them that it is an important decision and your need a few weeks to decide. Because, once you join, you like to stay at the company for 5+ years.
Now that’s a super reply 😀

Any reason why you can't take that start up offer and then move to F A G based on the outcome?
I can do that, but once I accept offer, I should join, and join for a considerable period of time. I will also need visa processing
