I have been following blind for quite a while now and I think I can get valuable information out here. I will graduate next may, in my early 20's. I have an offer from Amazon ( 112k base, 1st yr 36k, 2nd yr 22k, 80k Rsu, 6.8 relo) in Austin, Tx. I am happy with the offer. I have no prior experience other than summer internship at Amazon. I want to start my carrier at a startup where I can learn more, take on more responsibility faster. I am willing to take a low offer for a startup with stable management/team, which can withstand recession and can sponsor me. I am open to relocating anywhere. I have hard time filtering companies and ask for your inputs for where should I apply and if someone could refer me that would be swell. Thank you.

Wait, you want to work for a startup to get the startup experience, but you don't want that startup to act anything like a startup?
What?
You want a "stable startup". In my (25 years of) experience, such a thing rarely exists.
Depends upon what stage of the startup is at. For stealth mode ones, very few will hire fresh grads w/ zero or very little experience.
I can at least try. What about pre IPO stage startups? Would be great if you could provide some names for which you know that there is solid management.
Sparkcognition and skylabs ( skylabs came from sparkcognition infact). Both are doing great!!!
