Live Nation is not Fortune 500 is it?
I may be wrong but last time I check it was. Point is its a very well established org.
Didn't realize LN was this big 10B in revenue. No 292
This is literally unanswerable with the information given. Pick whichever job has the best tasting coffee.
This is my first time here. Be helpful or go back to tasting your coffee... You could try to be helpful by asking more question.
Welcome to Blind - this is common. It’s not my job to be helpful if the post doesn’t contain anything useful... if you actually want advice you should update your post with a lot more context about your current job, what your looking for, etc.
Current TC and location?
LA 150 base. No options
Question: Is the offer 70k stock options or 70k worth of stock? In addition, consider the following points: How many outstanding stock in the company? Is it profitable? What is the company's TAM? Do the founders have pedigree i.e previous unicorn exits or highly regarded academics? How's the engineering culture? Evaluating a startup is more of an art than a spreadsheet calculation. There are many other factors that go into a decision to work at one.
Nobody can answer this without more details
Good tip. Software engineer position. Java / Kotlin with AWS cloud focus.
