What are the possible pros and cons of working at a pre ipo startup like stripe? Is there a reason why folks on temporary work visas are sticking with FAANG? I haven’t got an offer but I like to know what I’m getting into so I can prepare accordingly. Been reading about FAANG from a Product Managers POV too Cons of FAANG -slow growth. Most are confined to L4 and L5. Moving to L6 takes time and so rising to LT positions will be a distant dream -product maturity: Mature stages => slow learning curve. Most problems have been solved Pros of FAANG -greater job security when compared to a unicorn -H1b and Green Card stuff sorted I’ve heard stripe does H1B and GC The work at Stripe sounds more exciting to me 😭 and I’m looking to stay a bit long term in my next job YOE 6; 1.5 in product Tc 🥜 (Disclaimer-assumptions are based on my limited exposure to the US job market in particular. I’m still figuring out a lot of things about working here)

What cash flow per month will set you financially free
If it's a well known Unicorn, you'll be fine in terms of immigration stuff
Get a GC or at least a priority date, and then move to startups?
I have one last shot at H1B next year. Reaching that stage will take an eternity it seems and I really want to move to somewhere more exciting. 92k tc with a 50k student debt doesn't cut it for my current role
What visa were you in all this time?
later stage starups have huge invested capitals that can keep their employees many years. it will be okay unless ceo does something real stupid.
Stripe is good Go for it
What about long term job stability?
Stripe does visa and GC Stripe is there to stay, it has a huge growing business and there is a very low chance for it to collapse. Tc at stripe is better than fang too!
