Why do most new startups suck?
The concepts and ideas these days are terrible. And the options are even worse. It's like startups expect me to assume they're guaranteed to be a unicorn. And then at that point, I'll almost break even with my FANG TC. Obligatory TC: 350 (ok it's more like 400)
Are start ups supposed to act like they have a shit idea and no growth potential? Anyone working at a startup is gonna believe in the mission; they may get jaded at times but if they truly think it’s a loser they are looking for an exit
How’s OpenDoor?
Not a startup. It's like asking what my TC at Uber looks like
Do you count value of options in your startup tc??
stocks are very inflated making start ups not attractive.
clueless founders!
oversupply of money
YOE?
Crazy to imagine, but there's more to a career than TC. If you want to be more than a cog in the wheel at FANG and learn about business, enjoy creative freedom, explore and experiment, and have the guts to break from the pack, it can be a rewarding experience.
At a startup you’re just a bigger cog in a smaller wheel that is almost certainly guaranteed to fall apart.
@Putin spoken like someone who has never been a founder.
Because it’s hard?
