What do you think I should take? I have a home and huge family in the Midwest so the remote job sounds fun to stay here and travel whenever I want, 90/hr here is a great living. But StubHub is more comp, but I have to move to NY… if I could choose where I’d have to move I’d go for a sunny beach area not a colder city lol. But that being said, I’m 26 outside of work I like to hustle on my side businesses, gym, and girls lol so I’d be fine anywhere. The StubHub role is sick though and I think I’d experience for more growth there. But I’m in this shit for the money, I can grow as an engineer building my side saas products. Do you think there’s any value in those RSU’s at StubHub? I feel like the event ticketing space is so 5-10 years ago and diluted now.
It’s not often you see a company with a lower blind rating than Amazon. Not a great look for StubHub lol. Comp is great though
This just comes down to whether or not you want to live and grind in NYC. The StubHub base is just "okay" for NYC given the cost of living there. The RSUs are basically worthless. Just ignore them. However, just for shits and giggles you could try to negotiate more RSUs and test your negotiating skills. $90 /hr in the Midwest is great comp. It will go a *long* way lol
The other opportunity I just landed an hour ago is with a seed crypto/finance startup that’s full time salary 185k + equity - Midwest based but essentially remote. Part of me wants to start the contract role next week. Say yes to the crypto start, see if I can ride em both out maybe hire a dev to help me stay afloat in all the work, rake in 400k annual comp. But ultimately, my end goal is to land a full time like L5 role at a big tech company to make that/more much in 1 job. So if I did the startup, idk, would it be a dick move to accept but then leave within a year? I have some mutual connections with the founder I wouldn’t want to taint them
Just be aware that start-ups can be complete shit shows. Entirely possible (maybe even likely) that you get hired as a Dev but find yourself being asked to serve in all sorts of different capacities whether you like it or not. Getting pulled into Sales in a prime example. Capital One will definitely be a more stable environment. I would caution about double-dipping if you know one of the startup founders. If it falls apart you don't want to burn personal connections. I suppose another option would be to just be up front with the founder that you want to work there as a side gig (in addition to Cap One) and see if they're open to that.
P*rnhub is better
Lol that's just not true. Look at the tenure of employees, vast majority are at >1 year
The turnover rate is pretty low. My team has had the same new hires for over a year now
Capital group anytime
We have an LA office, you could see about making the offer from there
stubhub rsu will never liquidate
I hope it does
i hope tanium’s does but most likely will never. sad reality
