Current TC: 390. Cliff coming in 1 year Dealing with politics, high expectations. Looking for something diffrent. Late stage startup offer: TC 430 225 base, 820k stocks, 50k signon Get to learn many variations of new tech in startup and pivot. WLB seems present. Only concern is only if they IPO, then the money is worth it. Mid size company offer: TC 350, 25k signon Very good company and laid back culture. My main goal is to continue to learn different tech and spend more time with my kids. I’m leaning on joining the startup but afraid I’m putting on too much risk. Current networth: 1.3 mil. Buying a 1+ mil house soon

Worried that our top performer is an attrition risk. How do managers handle this?

I haven’t done shit today!
What you said about aapl doesn't sound so bad. I thought you have good refreshers.
Constant need to establish relationships in order to find/fight for projects and credit. Toxic culture. 😭 I hope to do more tech than that
Startup and time with kids seems incongruent.
You already said your focus is to spend more time with your kids. Join the mid-size company. You’ll get a nice balance of high TC and WLB. Plus you’ll be respected, coming from Apple. When your kids get a little older you can always jump to a FANG. You already have Apple on your resume.
Nailed it!
You want to spend time with your kids while earning a decent living? Mid size company. It sounds like if you stay where you are currently that things are going to get stressful and that means more work and more time thinking about work while you aren't there. If you go to startup you'll probably be expected to put in more hours and be quite involved. I think the mid size company offers you what you want at this point in your life.
Who is the investor for early startup ?
Union Square, andressen Horowitz, y combinator, funders club How important is this? Any light you could share on evaluating the investors?
If it is an early startup the investors are more important than founders. Andreeson Horowitz return rate is huge and their success IPO rate is high. I don’t bet on ycombinator and their success rate is 60%. .
