Stay at Amazon or go to unicorn. Not a big fan of paper money so current TC is way more if I stay. The concern is that Ill maybe learn more at the startup , which is better in the long term Also some say being at Amazon for longer is old and unwanted experience, which could make me stale in a few more yrs. TC:270K YOE: 5 Startup TC: 200K base 400K worth of options, over 4 years (supposedly)
What Grab said. It depends on the Unicorn.

Wait so it's only a $30k pay bump with the risk of paper money?
Exactly
Yes .....
I took a chance with a startup, learned a lot, but it failed and all paper money became worth $0.
Was the learning experience worth it
Absolutely, I came out as a much better engineer and an entrepreneur.
Not worth it. I’d want way more upside to justify that move.
Birds losing a lot of money right now
Personally know someone who left a fang to go to bird. He regrets it everyday. Lol
Why?
Bump, curious to hear perspective from inside the nest
What unicorn? That matters.
