Facebook L5 vs 1st iOS hire at $1B startup (on breakoutlist)?

I want to start my own startup in 2-5 years, and I want to do the most I can now to help achieve that goal. What company do you guys think would help me the most in terms of career, clout, networking, learning, etc? I come from a startup background so donโ€™t have any experience with big companies yet.

How is this even a question? $1 Billion breakoutlist startup has more potential than measly Facebook L5. Comeback to facebook as an L7 when your achievements and contributions at this startup are publicly known.

If you want to start your own then go for a startup. Any big company will never give you that kind of experience.

You wonโ€™t be happy at any large public company.

How authentic is breakout list? How are startups evaluated?

Do you already have both offers? What are the offers?

Well, it's no brainer choice. But I doubt a 1B startup has no iOS developer these days. More like a troll question to me.

Theyโ€™re not really a consumer facing company, and just starting to grow a mobile team.
