I am considering switching jobs and I have two offers that I am considering right now. Offer 1 : Gocardless, London ( 85k GBP base + relocation + stock options worth around 52k GBP ) Offer 2 : Yelp, Hamburg ( 80k euro base + relocation -> better than above + 150k worth of stocks ) I am having a hard time deciding between the two since Yelp seems a good company to work for. But on the other hand, living in London is gonna be better than living in Hamburg.

Yelp has an office in London too. If London location is important, get asking if it can be transferred over to London?! Can’t hurt to ask :-) May not be a big deal if you’re already from the EU: you can travel. Like a lot. Paris, Italy, Amsterdam etc. are all a train ride away. You can be in a different place every weekend!
I won't be able to relocate to London right away but I can do that a year or two later. I'm not for eu so that advantage definitely does count.
@jelp can you help me get a referral at yelp
In your experience, what do you like about Yelp? What would be the clear advantages in terms of the work and day to day life?
Find better companies. There are tons of companies better than those two
which companies? Yelp is not good ?
You probably could discuss with the hiring manager the possibility of working for your Hamburg team from the London office.
Yoe?
Are these stocks per year for gocardless
Personally I’d choose Yelp. Not sure about the Hamburg office, but I really liked the SF one. (Plus, they offered more)
