I have both SW and HW background. I wanted to become a SW engineer in startup. But as luck would have it, I have now got following opportunities -

Option 1. HW engineer at startup.
Option 2. SW engineer at big company.

Both the jobs suit my liking and experience. Base salaries are comparable. Stockwise, the startup is at nascent stage.

My question is, financially, what makes more sense? Option 1 or Option 2 ?

    Startups fail 90%+
    If you have a fallback then go for startup else stick to big companies

    As someone who has been in similar shoes, option 2 is 100% your best choice both for your current job security and for your future since your resume will have SW on it
